Any church not built on a foundation of prophets and apostles as was the church Christ formed, is not Christ's church.
The context of 2 Cor 11 is this: "I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
What did Paul teach? Did he not teach that in the church there are first apostles and second prophets? If you don't have prophets and apostles, then you have
accepted a different gospel from the one that Paul taught.
How would you know if you were taught lies or false doctrines since you don't have any apostles or prophets and obviously have a different gospel?
One thing is for sure, there is only one true gospel and only one set of true apostles. I would suggest that the gospel that is true would have apostles and prophets. Your opinion about truth or lies is irrelevant since you are arguing from a place without foundations.
That is not our doctrine.
It never has been.
That is what the Bible teaches.
Jesus is the firstborn, is he not? If that is the case, the everyone else born of the Father, regardless of whether it's literal or figurative, is a brother or sister of the firstborn. Jesus himself confirmed that we are related with him to the Father. It would seem that the only way to escape that relationship of being brothers with Christ is if Satan was someone else's son who isn't related to God. But we know that can't be possible, right?
This is simple logic, Bonnie. Your refusal to see it doesn't eliminate the logic.
That is what the apostles taught. It would seem that your foundation really has been dug up and thrown out, seeing as you all don't have the gospel that Paul taught.
What is blaspheme to a false church may not be blaspheme to the true church.
Whether it's true or not is not a question. There can't even be a church, according to Paul without apostles and prophets.
Ephesians 2:20---King James Version
20 And are built upon the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
