The language you use to discribe God and worship him, formulated in the very object of your distain - church....
There is only one church that all men who are His belong to, wont find a pastor running it and it has no name its just His, He is the head and His people only follow after Him, you could have Him too, but men would rather belong to "mens" churches. Yes Aspen you love your religion, I know like so many spend you life defending it, Christ need s no defense, but still rejected by many,
1Sa_8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
and JEsus
Mat 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Rejected by many followed by few
My sheep hear My voice.... A stranger they will not follow.
Come out of her "
my people"
thats why we know those who are not His.
