Has the Church left the Body?

What a stark difference there is between true Believers (those who truly know and truly follow the Master) and those who follow after what their denomination or religious institute tells them. In their own words, they say, "The Church says....", while forgetting what the Lord has given them in His Book. Unfortunately and most sadly is the fact that the so-called "Church" has taken away this Book from the hands of the people and replaced it with Interpretation and Philosophy.

They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of Yahweh, no respect for the work of his hands. Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding; their men of rank will die of hunger and their masses will be parched with thirst.

Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revellers. So man will be brought low and mankind humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled. But Yahweh Shaddai will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will show himself holy by his righteousness.

Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich. (Isaiah 5:12-17).

Is it evident, my friends, that the so-called "Church" has left the Body? What remains is the sheep, grazing in the fields of truth, feeding on the pure manna, the Word of God unaltered by man. The sheep know that God's Word interprets itself and they feed daily on the True Bread. (John 6:32)
