Rom.11:7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

Do you believe that your religious organization is God's spiritual Israel today, expressed in the flesh through men and woman? Will, many do believe this not only today, but throughout the entire history of Christianity. One religion after another boast in being God's chosen people on earth. But before taking such claims at face value, let us consider a simple test of our faith.

Christ stated that there would be many false prophets, not just a few bad Christian's among a bunch of really good ones. He also stated that weed-Christian's would over-sow the good wheat Christian's by the time Christ returned to earth to take his people out of this same field of unrighteousness. Than Christ stated the whole kingdom of God was like a woman putting yeast into a huge lump of unleavened dole, causing all of it to ferment into leaven bread.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

Next he stated a simply profound truth, which alludes organized religion, and many of those associated with it, which is: “No good tree produce bad fruit, it can't it must produce only good fruit!” Did you catch that point? If organized religion is God tree, his planting, why is it that all organized religion since the time of Christ has had both good and bad fruit upon the same tree?

Mark 8:15 He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

Israel as a whole, a nation, as one person before God did not obtain to becoming the spiritual Israel of God, no! But individual from that nation did become part of God's spiritual Israel. God has stated for all of us to get out of false religion and he would take us in as a son or daughter. He did not say he was reforming organized religion any where since God stop dealing with Israel on a national physical level.

1Cor.10:14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
10:15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say. 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Christ? 10:17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.

In fact, when such a question was posed to Christ about where we are to worship he made it clear, himself being an Israelite going to the temple of God.

John 4:19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship." 4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. 4:22 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

Christ Jesus did not send this lady anywhere else or tell her to form a new religion on earth. It is important that Christian's understand where evil fruit come from, and know God is not too blame for thieves stealing what is rightful owned by Christ Jesus, and the son's of God's real Kingdom.

So does this mean people can't come together to worship God, no! But when people come together than one must ask what rule of law are they going to uses to form their group into a religion? Will it be the law of, love, or the law of the land,parts of the Old Law, ones can take power and control of brothers and sisters, causing evil fruit in an abuses in the name of good fruit, Chrit Jesus, the good tree? If it is love than most will find in this religiously confused world few whom understand Spirit and Truth, that is, where two or more are gather together, Christ will be in their mist as the truth.
