Is Anyone Willing To Stand With Me?

I don't use the phrase "the Church" to refer to any specific denomination, Catholic, my own, or otherwise. The Church is the body of Christ, and that is what we need to get back to.

God dose not have a body on earth
so we (the church) have to be his body for him
right?  

[WoodSorrelWitch]

agreed.

@digital kobra - In a sense, I believe yes. I also think the church is referred to as the Bridegroom, but I am not certain.

this reminds me of the song 'If we are the body' by Casting Crowns

Yes the church is referred to in the bible as the bride. And i agree with digital kobra.

The church of today is divided and there are cliques within the church. This creates a difficult situation for those who are trying to come into the church feel that they aren't accepted when they aren't included in the clique.
The divisions in today's churches should fall but there needs to be a wake up call.
I also think that the churches have what I call unchanging or stubborn/close-minded Christians. This isn't right and this is in scripture as well we are to be of the world not to it meaning we have to be willing to change and flow with how the world changes but not change the message that god gives.

My 2cents heh and this coming from a 1 yr old christian well almost a year couple weeks till my anniversary.

Remember, God is never wrong for not agreeing with the world. The world is always wrong for not agreeing with God. I am not willing to change with society in anyway that contradicts His Word.

Digital - Yes and No. We're a spiritual body too. Church isn't a building or a location. It's the people. But don't think God needs a body. He doesn't. I liked a quote I got from the radio this morning. "Friends, the only one here who is irreplaceable is God." He "could" do it without us, but that would negate the need for faith. He uses us, despite Him not needing to use us, for which I am grateful.

The Church isn't the bridegroom. That's Jesus. He'll come back to claim His bride, which is the Church. Which is also the body >< It can be confusing at times for sure. But it is within His power. There's a lot to be said about how a husbands relationship with his wife directly parallels Christ's relationship with the Church.

i agree

When you say you are a practioner of the Enochian ritual, does this extend to the Magical or Goteic aspects that are included in the Key's of Solomon, such as the Rose Cross, or the Summonings?  

[frozen blue angel]

I agree with you and I am paying the price for what I believe in. I am a lone and well no one wants to stand by me and my God.

I love what you guys are doing but until my Church starts standing for things that no human should stand for, then i will become Non Denominational but right now i think ive struck gold church wise.
