Q.-
Eph. 4:4
4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; (Ephesians 4:4)
;
Matt. 18:20
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
. Do we meet as Christians on the ground of the one body, or as gathered to the Lord's name? What about
1 Cor. 12:14
14
For the body is not one member, but many. (1 Corinthians 12:14)
? J. C. L.
A.-I
see no right reason to regard any one of these and other like scriptures exclusively. None can be forgotten or overlooked without loss. The others treat of the essential and abiding truth of God's assembly; whereas the word in
Matt. 18:20
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
supplies the resource given by the Lord to assure of His presence, if we are gathered to His name as the center, in times however difficult or disastrous. Those so gathered in faith of His presence may not be intelligent as to the church's privileges or the Spirit's action therein; but they could not be thus gathered truly, if they resisted the truth by indifference or by independency. They might need and would welcome instruction in the truth, so clearly revealed and deeply concerning God's honor and their own obedience; but they could not, if dependent on the Lord, oppose God's will, and they would humble themselves and correct their fault, if they mistook through haste, influence, or error of any kind. Departure from the unity of the Spirit is fatal; and refusal of just discipline is rebellion against the Lord.
Q.-Has
the valley of Elah, where Goliath fell, been yet identified, or Ephesdammim, or Socho, or Jarmuth? DISC.
A.-It
would appear that what is now called the
Wady es-Surat
answers to the first famous spot; that
Damun
may be Ephesdammim; that Socho in this neighborhood is now called
Shuweikeh,
as is also the other Socho in the mountain district of Judah (
Josh. 15:48
48
And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, (Joshua 15:48)
), and that the
Yarmuck
of our day corresponds with Jarmuth of old.
