All believers of all time are the one olive tree of God's one people, the church (Ro 11:16-23).
Could you expand on that thought more? I am not certain how you are relating what you stated to the meme. Thanks.

I am addressing the meaning of the "we". . .the church, the one olive tree of God's people, includes both the OT saints (Ac 7:38,
Ro 11:16-17
) and the NT saints.

Except that ekklesia (church) means assembly (Ac 7:38).

What do you think makes them not like you?
I assemble with Jesus. They don't like me because they treat me like trash. Look at yourself. My church isn't good but yours is. I'm trash.

What do you mean by, "My church isn't good, but yours is."

By "my church," do you mean those with whom you assemble?

I'm not following you. . .

I don't think your opinion matters to me. It's legalistic in my opinion. I don't need a church full of politicians and their followers.

Forgive me but the church has only hurt me. I want nothing to do with it. I'm my own church. I work out my own salvation and i follow scripture
