I can't wait until Christ founds a Church that prevents people who are a part of it from sinning. Until he does, I'll stick with the only one he's founded so far...the Catholic Church.
Pax et Bonem
Was my effort to interpret that word lost on you? I'd say it is a pretty easy sense to understand when the verses surrounding that one are talking about how other people can see our outward evidence of faith. Only God can see the heart and only God knows if a person's faith in a genuine faith or is mere "window dressing" attempts to impress people of our piousity and worthiness - something for which "religious" people are well known. And it is STILL the truth that a genuine, Christ-centered faith will result in a faith that is not dead but demonstrated by good works - which God has prepared for us to walk in them.
The church Christ founded is the true UNIVERSAL body of Christ that is not exclusive to the one based in Rome that pretends it has copyrighted the word and represents the entire body. As blessed Peter said, "You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (I Peter 2:5) and "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (I Peter 2:9). THAT'S the one I belong to and identify with.
Prevents people? Weren't you the one who accused me/others of not believing in free will? You never did follow up on who they were or apologize to me for accusing me of such. And now you want a church where some don't sin/lie. LOL!
Consider yourself stuck.
