The Church will ALWAYS be what she once was because she cannot be anything else. People are changed, but the Church, as the body of Christ changes not.
You defined what you think the 'church' is...And you clearly segregated it from the people who 'attend your church'...
When I said no church is the Body of Christ, I was using your definition, not the Biblical one...I thought that would have been obvious...
To get the distinction more clear, the 'church' (small c) is the Biblical church, the believers, not the Church (Capital C) which we all know is your Catholic religion, with all it's trappings...
“And of course it will be foolishness to those religious who are not IN Christ...”
Then why do you persist, since you are not IN Christ?
To those who are in Christ, and Christ in them, I believe I give witness that I am in Christ...A little more crude than some, but in Christ, none the less...
You wrote:

No. I defined what the Church actually is, not what I think it is. I have no idea what you’re saying here: “And you clearly segregated it from the people who ‘attend your church’...” You’re not making any sense.
“When I said no church is the Body of Christ, I was using your definition, not the Biblical one...I thought that would have been obvious...”
Your statement was false, and you were not using my definition. I stated CLEARLY that the Church is the body of Christ, while YOU denied it. I also posted a verse that showed that the Church is the body of Christ.
“To get the distinction more clear, the ‘church’ (small c) is the Biblical church, the believers, not the Church (Capital C) which we all know is your Catholic religion, with all it’s trappings...”
No. A religion is not a Church, nor a church. Simple grammar defeats you. That’s one of the problems anti-Catholics so often seem to have - the very language shows that their ideas make no sense. In reality the church is the Church and it is Catholic and catholic. It’s just that simple. But no, to claim what you claim you must literally misuse the language. Fitting.
“To those who are in Christ, and Christ in them, I believe I give witness that I am in Christ...”
So you say, and what evidence do I see of it here? You deny Christ’s Church. How can you be IN Christ and deny His body? Logically that is an impossibility.
“A little more crude than some, but in Christ, none the less...”
And yet you are somehow opposed to Christ’s Church? Sorry, your views have no relationship to reality.
