This is sad and shows clear evidence of ignorance and the fact that this Nation is in trouble spiritually.
The "body of Christ" are individual Born-again "body of Believers" in Christ Jesus. Born-Again Believers are saved by the Blood of Christ Crucified because they received Christ into their heart and lives as Lord and Saviour by grace through faith...
"So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another."(Romans 12:5)
"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." (1 Corinthians 12:27)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
"For we are members of His Body, of His Flesh, and of His Bones."(Ephesians 5:30)
What Christian would not know what he meant? I’m almost embarrassed for her to see her sitting there, nose in the air, “harrumph! harrumph!”, expounding as if she had a brain — when she’s clueless. I didn’t see the whole clip, but maybe another panelist enlightened her...?
What’s really sad is she’s supposed to be a recent convert to Catholicism. (Isn’t she? Someone please confirm that I’m not mixing her up.)
The Catholic Church incessantly uses “the Body of Christ” for things other than Jesus’ resurrected corpse. (So incessantly that I’m force to use the unfortunate term, “corpse” because just about any other word I try to use has other meanings.)
Who reads the Washington Post?
Amazing. My favorite was the “I know many people who were greatly offended by it.” Do you? Do you really?
Back in the early 2000s I used to read her columns, but as we approached the 2008 election cycle her article got very center-right, then center, then just plain left. She was trying to be chosen as a right-wing pundit, of course, she wanted to appeal to the left. In 2008, she was ALL IN for Obama! No ifs, ands, or buts....just all in! When readers commented about her stand with with Obama, she was indignant that a conservative might be scrutinized for supporting a democrat, missing the greater question about his bonafides, his identity, his qualifications for the job, etc. She is all in with the left now, so why do they still have her on as a “conservative” voice?
Wow. She is pretty ignorant, isn’t she?
Bflv
most liberals don’t understand the nature of Islam and they equate Crist and Mohamed as being the same spiritually as far as the message the two bring. I am not surprised she has no understanding of the term ‘Body of Christ” My bet is that the only time she ever got any spiritual training is when she was a kid and spent the night at a friends house and was taken to church the next day.
