. . . the only 'church' that matters . . .

NONE
OF
THE
ORGANIZATIONS
will
matter
a
gnat's
burp's
worth
in
the
final
analysis
.

Organizations will not stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ nor The Great White Throne Judgment.

Organizations will not likely be rewarded in the least.

Organizations will not likely continue after Armageddon.

Christ and the New Testament were not very flattering to organized, bureaucratic RELIGIOUS POLITICAL magicsterical mangled ORGANIZATIONS. His fiercest hostilities were against individuals leading such.

The notion that the RC edifice is the ONLY (RELIGIOUS POLITICAL POWER-MONGERING MAGICSTERICAL MANGLED) ORGANIZATION to matter--in ANY sense of the word "matter," is arrogantly and UNBiblically ludicrous beyond belief.

Some organizations, due to their size, will have leaders who bear some horrendous censure from God Almighty according to the Biblical principle of: TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED. Their stewardship of what they did with their resources to teach authentic Biblical Truth; to help the poor; to introduce folks to Christ etc. will bear some horrendous responsibility.

Christ did not come to save organizations. There's no New Testament evidence that Christ wanted ANY organization, beyond a loose house church arrangement of wiser, humbler sorts of elders, to even exist.

Some leaders of some organizations will bear horrendous censure from God Almighty for the vain glories they gathered about themselves; luxuriated in, wallowed in, lorded it over others with.

ALL faith placed in human organizations--particularly bureaucratically heavy ones--is ill-placed. FAITH BELONGS IN GOD ALONE.

ALL ELSE IS QUICK-SAND. It doesn't matter how high the quicksand is piled, it's still quicksand [Yes, I realize that in nature, quicksand is not pile-able].

Most RELIGIOUS organizations barely merit being considered good enough to The Kingdom to be TOLERABLE. Most bureaucratically heavy RELIGIOUS organizations are simply destructive to The Kingdom far more than beneficial.

You know what? I haven’t seen anybody suggest that perhaps Alfred Smith was actually just a bad egg.

Amen to your post. Only individuals will stand before the Great Throne Judgement, being a member of any organized church will not save them, only the Blood of the Lamb will.
