Agreed, that the Church is the Body of Christ. And even though I attend church and am part of that church, my opinion is that the modern day church, in whatever form it may take, is a rather human construct.
And you are right about the dynamic preaching of the apostles, but Paul himself cautions us in Colossians. 4:5,6..."Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye ought to answer every man." (Now, I'm not a KJV kinda guy, but I posted that version so I am not accused of perversion. But I like my favorite version, the New Living Translation for these verses)
I doubt Christ Himself, or Peter or Paul or any of the disciples would feel comfortable in the church of today, especially the time out for the offering or the serving of communion from gold or silver commemorative plates in little teeny cups and little teeny pieces of crust that get caught in your throat.
I like the original concept of meeting in houses and breaking bread and praising God together...but I can live with what we've been given.
Amen!
If it doesn't hinder others getting some, I make it a point of grabbing several pieces of the 'broken bread.'
