In other words, I believe the true Church, the sanctified Body of Christ, has appeared in history largely as the down-trodden and the castoffs...the undesirables of society...the ones frequently seen in history as victims.

Baptist trail of blood?

And I believe the true Church of Jesus Christ is invisible to the world's eyes. Individual members such as I may reveal myself, opening myself to one's vision, but no matter; I and the rest of the Body are secure on the Rock that is Christ, in a cleft of that Rock, under His wings of protection.

You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. (Matthew 5:14) I like this less-burdensome way of living better than these rigid and demanding RCC teachings and practices put forth on these FR threads for our consideration.

In other words truth is determined by what is personally preferred and that which is characterized as less burdensome.

Okay, you suckered me into replying. Now, what I was saying in my post is not what you understood or acknowledged you understood.

I was meaning that the true Church of Jesus Christ is most definitely in the world but not of the world and is made up of believers throughout the Church age but not necessarily of an organization or denomination with a name, such as RCC or LDS.

The true Body of Christ isn't found in the White OR Yellow Pages. That's what I meant by "invisible".
