I don't have to tell you what I believe to follow Christ. You don't get to decide you and the little cult are the bestest Christians because you say you believe one assertion over another. Words can be said by anyone, whether they know what they mean or not. If I say that I believe one set of words over another, in order to associate with an identitarian cult in opposition to another identitarian cult, well say what you want about it but it's not Christian. Best case it's just sounds from people's faces, verbal fixed action patterns, and worst case it's the friend-enemy distinction dressed in a Christian skin-suit.
Ok, again. I never said any of this. I was simply asking questions to better understand where you are coming from. You made some very broad comments and I simply was curious where you were coming from with the conclusions you have stated.
It honestly feels like you are talking with someone in your own mind, not me.

You're saying that people who follow Christ without a church are wrong. You literally said that. You're wrong. Modern churches are identitarian cults with little relation to any collective commons. They are primarily and exclusively concerned with social status, defined primarily in opposition to each other.
Your comment exemplified this fact.

I feel like we are going in circles. Jesus founded the church. You say its a commons network. Ok, I assume you would say you are a follower of Christ. Therefore you must be a part of that Church. Not a "modern" church whatever you mean by that. I assume you are in fellowship with others that are of like mind, or you believe there are none around you that are true followers of the teaching of Christ. Its one or the other. So if I were to accept your definitions then you would be a part of the body of Christ, the Church.
I dunno man. What I see a LOT is people that go to local churches in all their forms and find fault. Its not hard to do. And they end up leaving and being alone. Lone rangers. This is not the way. No church is perfect. No church tradition is perfect. But you know what... neither are any of us.
I was trying to understand how you came to believe what you believe. I could be wrong. I don't think I am but you are right. Its just my opinion. But one that is not uncommon.
No need to reply man. I wish you well.

Because modern Christian denominations (identitarian cults) have no solutions and like you don't want to hear them, even though Christ spelled them out clearly and plainly.
