what are nature of the church?

Answer 1

At this point in history, the 'nature' of the church is mostly "human nature". This far beyond the time when Jesus was supposed to have been physically on earth, the rules and the very nature of the church, has been structured by humans.

Answer 2

The Church is the bride of Christ. The church should be holy, spotless without belmish. The Bible says Forsake not the assemblying of your selves together. It is our spiritual source of fellowship and strength. The church if they are true believers is the place where we are spiritually fed by God's word, and recieve fellowship, encouragement, and support of other believer's within the Body of Christ. It is not a place to eat or for entertainment. That is what is wrong with the Church world today. They are selling tapes, books, for profit. God said "Do not make my house a den of thieves" He whooped the money changers out of the Temple. Did someone in the church world not get that? Because they are doing exactly what God told them not to. The Church is where we come together to worship God and recieve spiritual Food and fellowship and Guidence. And that is where we go to recieve God's plan for our lives.

Answer 3

2 Peter 1

3According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

< Faith to Virtue to Knowledge to Patience to godliness to Brotherly Kindness to Charity >

"The Church" as the Body of Christ is defined from the Greek term Ekklesia which means "gather for a purpose"..that purpose as was Christs was to serve others...all sanctification leads a Christian from the self centered nature to the outward awareness and compassion of giving and serving others.

Pure religion and undefiled before God is to seek out those in needs, the fatherless and the widows, the imprisoned, the afflicted and oppressed and to be Christ to them in any way we can. If one is not doing this...then one is not a Christian. Love in Christ, ~J~
