How could Our Lod discuss Christians at all, since there were no such animals until after His death and resurrection? Is the "lukewarm" saying not from Paul? Were people not called "Christian" until they were so named in Antioch when a church was established there after a mission to there? I seem to remember that from Acts, the history of the earliest church.
If humans cannot condemn, then they are doing a mighty fine job of pretending to so do. Perhaps one means a "true condemnation" as in the condemnation of hypocrits who claim to be one thing yet are actually another, which is the work of the Lord while the 700 Club and TBN money keeps on rolling in.
Weren't the apostles given the power to bind and to loose?
