>>>No, that’s part of a heresy called Indifferentism. Christ did not establish different religions or different Churches. He has ONE bride.
This is true. However, like Hosea’s prostitute wife, the bride has not always been faithful to the one who gave her His name.
In case of the Roman Church, she has been casting covetous glances towards Aristotle for the last 1,000 years ever since St. Aquinas.
She has been utterly indifferent to the clarity of confession and purity of doctrine and instead focused on an external unity (which doesn’t exist even within her own ranks).
” However, like Hosea’s prostitute wife, the bride has not always been faithful to the one who gave her His name.”
That’s completely false. The Bride is always faithful, not all of the members in it are, however. Gomer represented Israel, not the Church as a whole. Isaiah 54:5 hints at this. When that verse hearkens to Hosea 2:16-23 it is about the future - not the time of old Israel and Hosea and Gomer.
Ephesians 5:25-30 shows that Christ is preparing the Church now for the final glory. The Church is never unfaithful. Members of it are, however.
