Narrowway 2011is an organic body, in it's nature, we're delighted the movement nation wide has taken place. For the one body intent of God..
Sees the priest hood of all believers as important. And not to restrain the spirit in to formula which is allowed to operate in them all not just the few. We are the ekklesia, the called out ones here to make a difference in the world, not hide in church buildings. Jesus was all about sharing God's love and ministering to peoples needs to show his will and love for world lost in greed and That, in a nutshell, is real Christianity.
The additional changes came as the depth of platonic thinking was realized years back. The real questions years back is what does spirit led look and become when the connection is made so the priesthood of all believers is seen as being able to be used by God any where any time. We do not own anyone their is no my anything it's all the lords and to be used in wisdom, love and discernment.
This Christian duality, exoteric and esoteric, has resulted in a paradox, a double standard. High Stoic ethics are essential to Christ and to the initiated elite to provide a reservoir of good based faith to be distributed by grace to the mass of believers, who are generally deficient and to whom a life of holiness is at best a desirable option which has us all struggling along..
Christ is viewed as assisting the helpless and making up for their unfortunate deficiencies rather than conquering our deliberate rebellion, breaking the power of voluntary sin in our hearts, and giving us victory over sin. Something we all go through, to break the legal spirit of demand greed and humanism, replacing all those negative functions with love and real care are two very different natures.
Perhaps a few more thinkers of the caliber and persuasion of Tertullian will yet arise to "free Jerusalem from Athens and the congregation of Christ from the Academy of Plato."
Praise God long over due , a real treat to see the lord guide us as he has and the other groups. I thank kajos and Barna and Zens and Viola, but can not for the get the 12 years here researching what took place long ago, and why what was Spirit led to have fallen to seduction of power and wealth control over others. May what we have be used wisely to advance the truth and spirit led state over personal control to allow God clear entrance into lives seeking his lead, to work freely.
We use the translation more literal and reduction in adverbs etc and the removal of words which were not in the early copies to the best of our ability, We listed two I use, Kj3 and the young's literal, and few others including an Aramaic translation. I use and enjoy Green and Strong. thanks
