How do you see your self as a Christian? Are you a member of the body of Christ who happens to be an individual or an individual who is part of the body of Christ?

MrIndifference Asserts,
“How do you see your self as a Christian? Are you a member of the body of Christ who happens to be an individual or an individual who is part of the body of Christ?”

Hey Mr.,

These two choices seem to be a bit extreme, that is, why not think of oneself as equally an individual and a member of Christ’s body? Does one logically have to be one more than the other?

Warmly in Christ,
Tiggers

Very good point Tiggers.

We are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is a balancing act, isn't it. I guess I was just trying to get an idea if people were inclined to one as compared to the other as a X'ian.

many times it seems as though i am simply an individual who is in the body of Christ because other individuals who are also in the body of Christ would like to tell me how un-christian i am and not look at the flaws within themselves.

on the whole, i think preparation H feels good...
