| Posted 7/1/2002 6:45 AM (GMT -6) | | Hey! Where'd you go? You raised an interesting question. There are actually "online churches" nowdays, or so I am told so it suppose they would be made up of "virtual members." the main problem I would see with such an arrangement is one that radical reformation churches wouldn't be very concerned about but magisterial reformation, Catholic and Orthodox churches would insist on. That is, the sacraments. One cannot do the sacraments virtually and still call them sacraments. There is something about physically participating in the Lord's Supper and baptism and so forth tha requires us to physically engaged and so it would need to be done in a local and physical expression of the body of Christ. For those who don't thing of sacraments as sacraments but rather as merely "symbolic" this would be of little or perhaps no concern. Any thoughts?
"Christianly understood, truth is obviously not to know the truth but to be the truth. Despite all modern philosophy, there is an infinite difference here..." SK | | Back to Top | | |
