Yet it is Paul who says that you were bought for a very dear price.
“The *church* hasn’t been given the *right* to tell ANYONE what to do. It may lay claim to it, but it wasn’t given to them.”
It was given to them by Christ.
Paul does say we were bought with a price. We are indeed not our own; we are Christ's - NOT the church's.
mm: “The *church* hasn’t been given the *right* to tell ANYONE what to do. It may lay claim to it, but it wasn’t given to them.”
BK: It was given to them by Christ.
