I am getting close to giving a more detailed assessment on Israel/Hamas, as it drags on.

And it will probably be Nostr-only since other platforms can’t handle it. It is too polarized. Everyone is tunnel-visioned.

My husband is currently in Cairo dealing with some property work we are doing for our extended family. They are only 250 miles from the problem, and Egypt’s acute currency crisis brings it closer to home if military or refugee shit hits the fan. Most of my extended family is geopolitically or financially close to the Israel/Gaza issue and is Muslim. I am thus both close and far from the issue. And I grew up in the US in a diverse region with Jewish and Muslim peers, but more-so Jewish overall.

Suffice to say, I don’t want civilians on either side to suffer or die. I am pro-humanity first and foremost.

Before I give my eventual analysis, I am happy to see Nostr comments on the issue. What are your thoughts and questions on the topic? What would you like to see addressed from a diverse or as non-biased source as possible?

The question of whether the Church is a divine institution or a human bureaucracy is a false dichotomy. The Church is both.

On the one hand, the Church is a divine institution. It is the body of Christ, made up of all those who have been saved by his grace. The Church is called to be holy and blameless before God, and to reflect his love to the world.

On the other hand, the Church is also a human bureaucracy. It is made up of people who are sinners, and who therefore need to be organized and governed in order to function effectively. The Church has a hierarchy of leaders, and it uses various administrative structures to carry out its mission.

The two aspects of the Church, the divine and the human, are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they are complementary. The divine aspect of the Church is what gives it its purpose and authority. The human aspect of the Church is what allows it to carry out its mission on earth.

The passage from Ephesians 1:4 that you quoted supports this view. It says that God chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him. This means that the Church is ultimately God's creation. It is his plan for how to bring salvation to the world.

However, the passage also says that God chose us in love. This means that the Church is not just a divine institution. It is also a community of people who are loved by God and who love one another. The Church is a place where we can experience God's grace and love firsthand.

In conclusion, the Church is both a divine institution and a human bureaucracy. The two aspects of the Church are complementary and essential to its mission.

oh! rcc VS orthodox. rcc say they are the church and orthos say they are the church. two churchs. one stole the title church from the other. who gets credit for being the church. who is the church
