It`s interesting that you believe that Christ is the Head of the Body, yet you don`t believe that He has done much in building the Body over the last 2000 years. I suppose my answer would be not much.

So, I`m thinking, either Christ is a liar or not very powerful to build His Body; OR & this is a big one - OR rather we are evaluating, measuring the Body of Christ wrongly.




Interesting comments, by both of you. Mark I'm not sure what you mean by your statement about Christ 'not doing much' to build the Body of Christ. Are you referring to 'the church' as the institutional system of today corporately? or are you speaking of The Body of Christ as those chosen and called unto salvation throughout time? Maybe Marilyn is thinking along this line of thought...not sure, but I would like to remind us that the true Body of Christ (just as the remnant was kept throughout Israel's history) has always been lead by The Lord and kept...remember He said He would NEVER leave or forsake us. And I can see the comparison to Israel in their continual falling away to worship false gods and repentance and returning back to God and the 'church's' history of revivals (remember there wouldn't be a NEED for revival if people didn't fall away and into idolatry and all manner of sin).
But every soul ever saved joined to the Body of Christ would be (imo)' Christ building His church'. Remember the angels in heaven rejoice at the saving of a lost soul, and there's been millions and millions through the years...that's a lot of rejoicing.

And this isn't a respond in defense of 'the system' of today's 'church', it's just a response to encourage us to remember that Christ IS in charge of His Body and He WILL perfect it according to His perfect plan.....Now who makes up that Body and what are they doing daily as to obedience to God's Word and being lead of The Spirit...that's a different discussion altogether.
