Just out of curiosity - what is your definition of "the true Church"?

My definition is 'the heart'.

Beep. Wrong answer. "Spiritual" sounding, but false. Like the devil, an entirely spiritual entity.

Many Americans are practical unitarians, unable to see collective entities, especially the God-ordained Oath-confirmed, representatively-structured entities of church, family, nation. It's a long story, and at this point, I'd be trying to describe a Rembrandt to a blind man. Good starting point to consider, though: the God of the Bible, the Trinity, is plural and well as singular. God Himself is the Ultimate Community. The idol of the statists is the "Great Community/Society," defined in political terms.

Oh thank you, great arbitrator of spirituality. The 'holy trinity' is rod, reel and line for fish eaters.
