Subject: IS THIS WHAT JESUS BUILT? |
Bible Note: Derdan, I quite concur: no religious organization of whatever name can rightly claim to be THE (exclusive) church that Jesus built. But see my answer (ID #61110) to your former question in which I attempted to define what Christ's church really is and who are members of it. We do not "join" it but are added to it by Him who founded it when we become regenerate believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. --Hank |
