According to Christian belief, the Church, the Body of Christ, is more than just "the people" or "Christians" -- it is those people who have been engrafted into Christ himself and therefore it has real union with Christ, with the divine. To say that an organization, "just like the church, is the people who form it" suggests that the Church, like any other organization, is simply a human institution. From your last post, I would take it that you would agree with me that while the Church is full of sinners, it is not simply a human institution.

Of course, if the Church -- the one grouping of people on the planet that Christians believe has a divine nature -- has sinners among its ranks, can we expect to find any simply human institutions that isn't made up of sinners? Including GLOs?

You are right that if people "stop trying to be so insulting and try listening, perhaps they will learn something." It goes both ways.

The thing is-- we NEVER asked to have this conversation. People were attacking us before we got here. Before we knew ANY of you even existed. So why are we the bad guys?
