What an awfully condemning, judgemental and false statement.

The church is the body and bride of Christ. Do you presume to judge all people who profess to be members of the body of Christ. The true bride mourns at that statement, for the true bride are the servants of Christ....they are the church!

The church loves and serves God at all times. The church is preparing themselves for the groom. The church is not a harlot!

The church has become a harlot? You can't mean that.
Why are you so bitter Alan?

Please re-think and or explain that condemning statement.

Sincerely,
Shalom...><>
BTW Alan if you are going to argue with the enemies of God you had better do it with scripture or the enemy will win every time.!The word of God is our defense...anything else will always get us in trouble. ONLY the word of God! Otherwise the enemy will trap you evertime, with your own words!

Jane I have eternal life. As the Apostle Paul said, "concerning the raising of the dead am I brought before you." The real self is Soul a part of God. That is the sacrifice of Christ and dying that we may be saved. You and I consist of the Christ breaking self into pieces and dying in our flesh in order to raise us from animal to perfection of God. The parable of the seed understood will explain the whole process. The seed is planted in the earth and dies. In the process it regenerates self into the original body. With the alchemy of air-water-fire-earth a new creation is born to grow in life. We are no different. We are now the dead Spirit of Christ buried in our animal matter and in order for Christ to be risen our matter must die in order to return to our heavenly abode. Until we conquer EGO and eliminate it completely we return for purification time after time.

I have always lived and will always exist in this natural process of all nature.

Hello Alan and Shalom,

Regarding anothers thought of regurgitating scripture....

Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Regarding the "Church" as a harlot. The Church is the body of Christ, precious in the Lord's sight. It is His people that have been washed clean in His redemptive work.

BUT

If you would accept the view of the church ages depicted in Revelation and us being in the Laodicean age the Lord admonishes it's members....

Chp 3
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold not hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Do all fall in this category?
No...., many throughout the world are laying down there lives literally in God's service.
Does it paint an accurate picture of the churches of today? We have a love gospel without repentance, humanism preached, crystal cathedrals, and limp pulpit messages that would make a vulture wretch. Not all... but even one church like that is too much.
The Lord stands at the door of our churches, knocking, wanting to be let in. Wouldn't you agree? I see His call to repentance for us all, a call to return to our first love, a call to repentance.

In Christ,
John

"Yes the Church has become a harlot" Alan Markoff

That is your opinion and you are entitled to your beliefs and opinnions even if they are perverse, wrong and evil, as they most certainly are. You constantly find much falt with the holy Body of Christ, the Christian Church but at the same time you are a zealous and fanatic supported of antichrist modern Judaism and antichrist Zionism. Why is this so?
You find such beauty and positive attributes in the antichrist Synagogues who dishonor and blaspheme Christ, but nothing but darkness and hatred against the Christian Churches who honor and exalt Christ.
I have been in Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Charaasmatic, Catholic, Orthodox and other Churches and have always found that showed love, worship and honor to Jesus. I have been to many modern Synagogues and have always found that they reject and dishonor Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God.
Why do you have such hatred against the light and life that is found in Jesus's congregations Churces but nothing but praise and exaltation for Synagogues who reject Jesus and ridicule the Gospel?

The Church--the holy Body of Christ--has never been nor will it ever become a harlot because the power and supernatural life of Christ is in her.

The Synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9 and 3:9) has always been and will always be a harlot as long as they continue to reject Jesus, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The Church gives life and light, the Synagogue of Satan darkness and death.
