But it's not to be the focus.

The focus is Christ crucified.

According to Paul, the Church is the Body of that crucified Christ and we are incorporated into it by His grace.

So when Paul writes about how we should live that incorporation, I'm all ears.

"So when Paul writes about how we should live that incorporation, I'm all ears."

I don't think so. I think you are deceiving yourself or being deceived by someone else.

I don't think you can answer the following question on the Biblical side honestly in the affirmative.

Paul wrote about that and particularly meetings of such in I Cor 14.

Are your meetings held accordingly with Holy Spirit doing His part overtly in concert with such efforts? Does each come with a song, a verse, a prophecy or such?

Given your stances, attitude and comment, I'd virtually guarantee that your honest answer has to be no.

Therefore, you don't really follow Paul's writings on corporate life much at all.

You are doggedly convincing me that you have less and less to offer me on such issues.
