The Need For A Church Council

yes mans been trying to somehow institutionalize and regulate by a group of men , an eternal message of faith meant for any and all to hear , discover , believe and be saved through this faith for a very long time

the Mormons went so far as to say God and Jesus appeared and annointed thier prophet and his 12 apostles to prove they were that regulatory group on earth

every denomination wants that authority and many claim it already hence the divisions .there’s far too much division for it to ever work man is way to unreliable and way to divided in the present

No....the Bible teaches individualism in being responsible; ( even the sanhedin had issues...remember).

1. What does the Bible say about personal responsibility ...
   www.gotquestions.org/personal-responsibility.html
   Each one of us has the personal responsibility to “repent and believe the good news” ( Mark 1:15) and then to glorify the Lord with good works ( Ephesians 2:10 ). “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” ( 1 John 5:12 ).

Eph 4 "unity of faith"

II Peter 1

Mary did give birth to Jesus, Jesus is God, She concieved the physical part of Jesus.

We all are doing that, then why do we all disagree? Hint: We are only human

cool discussion

That scripture points to the fact that all believers are in the body of Christ... it says nothing about any kind of governing body over all believers.... the only one over the church is Christ.

The only Church councils worth having are those where the people pray and seek God until the Holy Spirit speaks. They were quite the charismatic council in Jerusalem. Leave out the charismatic part and you just have a board meeting.

It sounds like a great idea in theory at first. It's got anti-Christ written all over it though.

Mary did not just conceive the physical part of Jesus. In fact Jesus was both man and divine, man and God and that nature cannot be separated into one or the other. The angel answered Mary in the Gospel of Luke, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

Nestorianism is a heresy from the fourth century that wrongly proclaimed the doctrine that there were two separate persons, one human and one divine, in the incarnate Christ.

Mary is truly the mother of Jesus and Jesus is God.

Most Protestants also believe that Jesus is a divine-human being, and that what Jesus did—his life and works—can only be properly understood when viewed as the actions of a divine-human being. Most Protestants maintain the traditional Christian doctrine of the two inseperable natures of Christ (fully human and fully divine)

While it is difficult to conceive of a being who is both fully and genuinely human and fully and genuinely divine, many passages of scripture (e.g., John 1:14: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us") point to it clearly.

You cannot separate Jesus' humanity from His divinity.

Flesh begets flesh, spirit begets spirit. So is Mary divine then?

I see you're pretty ignorant on your Bible. Christ was conceived by both the Holy Spirit and Mary, not separately but by both.

Yeah, I have some ignorance. But, I just gave you a concept I learned from the bible from John 3:6.
You said:
What other part of Jesus did she conceive? Did she give birth to his spirit? Or are you saying, like, she gave birth to him mentally and emotionally too, or something like that?

And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?" And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

Jesus was both God and human at the very beginning of His conception. The Word was made flesh. You cannot separate His divine nature from His human nature. His mother is Mary and He is God. Was it a miracle brought about by God, You bet it was. All things are possible with God.

The Word of God is the Council that dictates how the church operates. Elders are the leaders of individual church congregations, appointed to uphold the teaching of that Council. The Bible outlines how elders ought to be qualified so that such congregations are safe, holy, and thriving.

Was Jesus "human" before He was incarnate?

A simple 'yes' or 'no' will do.
