So. Do you need the other members of the Body? Tagline.
For as the body is one, and has many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.<
For the body also is not one member, but many.
If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
But now God has set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.
That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members mutually of one another.
Thank you and I do like it
Informal relationships with the many and different Disciples has pleased me over the years and I do not feel unfulfilled, I have been asked to join and I understand what that unity means to those that ask and how they want to share that unity with me.
I never can explain why I won’t choose one... best I can say is I see every Denomination as good, I am not a judge, I enjoy them all and belonging to just one Church and excluding others would not feel right. It may go back to the years of Military Services I attended with my friends of many Denominations, we were just Christians.
“For as the body is one, and has many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ”
Again Thank you ...
