do you deny the scriptures i posted which assert that the church is the body of Christ?
Is that really a very logical question given that I think I mentioned the church universal of all believers in all sects being the Body of Christ.
Of course I believe ALL Scripture is the inspired Word of God.
But I think you knew that.
