What is the True Church?
The True Church is invisible and is made up of ALL born-again believers wherever they maybe in the world. Jesus paid for their sins individually. They are His Body and He comes for them. The local physical church buildings with those who attend is not the Church. They are a local assembly that was ordained by God during the Church Age. This is so because nobody can know who is really saved by looking on the outside:


  • And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23
  • And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
  • And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

...Come out of her

my people... (Rev 18:4)

Marriage Rings


By God's mercy today, as we look deeper into the Bible, He allows us to have a better spiritual appreciation for the Biblical language on marriage. Of course God in His wisdom gives us the language on a level that we can relate to. Therefore I believe there is moral implication to the topic of Biblical Marriage. As we begin to understand more and more what the Bible is teaching spiritually about marriage, each of us is urged to prayerfully consider how these principles can be appliead to his/her own personal life.

Also, I have not been able to see anything in the spiritual language that would allow us to understand the moral teaching on marriage any differently than taught by some men in the past who believed that marriage is a divine union instituted by God and is to be 'till death do us part'. I have considered the possibility that like as God divorced for fornication and calls for His people not to be unequally yoked and also the fact that within the body today there is a separation that might justify believers leaving unsaved spouses. The problem with this logic is that our minds are sinful and most of the time we do things out of spite, pride and unrighteous anger. God however, is Just, Righteous and Holy and therefore He is the only one who can divorce. I believe the safest course of action for a believer who is unequally yoked is to be an example of the eternal, unconditional marriage that is between them and Christ.
