As St. Joan of Arc said at her trial: “The Church is Christ, and Christ is the Church.”

Any church that does not claim to be Christ, and to teach everything that Christ wants taught, is just a human club.

The only Church I want to belong to is the Church Jesus was talking about when He said, “I am the Vine, and you are the branches.”

I do not disagree, I was thinking more of items like “going to the movies” or “a drink with dinner” or “swimming with boys and girls” or “dances”...things like that.

(Yeah, but when the branches pretend that they are the "only branches" on the face of the whole earth...and there aren't a whole lot of "branches" in black Africa...then that becomes a bit of a problem)

Then stay away from MORMONism; for IT's 'vine' will turn out to be a Strangler Fig...
