I am not obeying Christ if I leave the Church, THIS Church, with my hundreds of millions of spiritual ancestors stretching back to Pentecost.

I am a member of the Body of Christ. The self-amputated branch cannot bear fruit. The severed Hand can not heal the Body.

A person can’t *leave* the church when they ARE the church.

That’s what so many people don’t get.

The church is believers, not an organization or a denomination situated in a building.

Do you hear Christ's voice??

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her.

Revelation 18:4

The Body of Christ exists outside the Roman Church. In fact the majority of the Body resides outside the Roman sect
