Default "Church" vs. Christian Organizations

Just a reminder that the church is described in the Bible as a "great mystery".

Religious organizations, such as the LC, RCC, Lutherans, etc., have little mystery and even smaller amount of "greatness." True church membership is "Christians Only". One can be a Lutheran, RCC or LC member and not be a Christian.

Man-made organizations range, in practice, from denominations to clubs...no mystery there. So, equating 'church' with church is "equally reckless".
