"All of the above and much much more."

Well, your Church, the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church, anyway....


And the Baptist church, and the Anglican church, and the Reformed church, and the Lutheran church, and the Presbyterian church, and the Methodist church, and the Pentecostal church (except "United" Pentecostals), etc., etc., etc. Basically everyone except United Pentecostals, Unitarians, JWs, Mormons, and some lone rangers.


" If you disagree with what the universal church teaches, you are by definition not part of that church."

AMEN!  As long as I'm part of the Church the Bible talks about (which I am) I'm fine with that!!!!!  Thanks for the encouragement!!!!


There's the rub. How do you know you're part of the church the Bible talks about? Why assume your interpretation on this matter is correct, when it implies the "church the Bible talks about" cannot be seen throughout the last 2,000 years, except for small temporary groups with whom you would adamantly oppose on other doctrines? That is the "church" to you?
