There was a time, after my "rebirth", where I just hated Paul, and his teachings!
Then? As I "grew/matured", finally, coming to the conclusion? "Am I a disciple of Paul's? Or, a disciple of Christ's?"And, you'll see a lot of "churches of stone" laying claim to be "followers" of Christ, and, they are! But, only to the point of baptism! After that? Their doctrines, and dogma, are of the "Paulene Epistles!" Spiritual warfare, to them, is adding another addition to the church building, or going on "mission trips". Supplying resources to those already established, or, even sponsoring a missionary, or even starting another church of stone somewhere.
The problem I had with this, is a "money" thing. And, the heads that would look away, and, the nods and winks, that came, when patronizing people "of the world", with "resources" that this, or any particular assemblage of believers, catered to, and, the seemingly never ending "sermon series'" of tithing, and stewardship (begging for money). And, how, because of this "catering" to people with resources, actual spiritual warfare, got dropped way down, on the list of priorities. Then, got, or became fused, with the Great Commission, as being sufficient enough! Successfully "encasing" God in a box!
Then?, I got really TICKED OFF, at, how danged gullible man(kind), had become in their allowing this to happen! Then, I became cognizant of what the term apostasy meant, and how, dogma, and doctrines erode, to becoming "traditions of man."
It is now, that I have cause to wonder, about "those who give suck", and how much, if at all, have been "born from above?" And, the "oppression", one endures, when one goes "seeking for more!"
Hence, the "body of Christ", I reckon.
