The collective brethren, body, universal Church.

The concept of brethren, the "Body" of brethren in Christ, the effectual and universal collective, is a central topic to the Apostles of the New Testament. filter:NT-EPISTLES brethren

However, it has been a sore subject in the Church since long before the reformation and has given way to the pressures of western individualism and relativism. The modern Churches operate largely in "self help" fashion in oder to remain culturally relevant.

It should become of key importance to us again in this final age as Christ prepares to gather the "Body" together as his Bride. kjv@Ephesians:5:27 kjv@Revelation:19:7
