Paul is speaking for the Church

I think ya lost me there. But that is ok, I don't think it is a big deal.

thanks very much for your reply.

I don't think it is a big deal.

To me the big deal is this is the Body of Christ, the Church as Christ established it. I think with the concept of sola scriptura it is "me, the Bible and Christ." I believe this is very far off, and, in addition to being at variance to what Christ established, it also results in great variance in doctrine and practice resulting in a variety of views of who we are, who God is and what our relationship to God and each other is and should be.

This, I think, is the crux of Christianity, and all religions for that matter.
