I get what you're saying, but what is wrong with simply being a Christian. No more, no less. Not Catholic, not Baptist, not Methodist, not Presbyterian, etc... The apostle Paul even asks the question: "Was Christ divided?"

Christ is not divided, and on the day of Pentecost in or around AD 33, ONE church was founded in JERUSALEM. A singular church, the bride of Christ, and not a Roman Catholic church, nor any of the many protestant denominations we have all seen for centuries. No man-made creeds add anything worthwhile to the purity of the church as it was founded.

There is only ONE head of the church. That is Christ. Not some man appointed by a bunch of other men to oversee a corporate church with a singular headquarters located some place upon this earth.

But, back to the point of the OP, since Christianity as a whole, even with its faults in doctrinal particulars, has been derided, ridiculed, shunned, and abandoned, our nation has indeed found itself reaping what it has sown. If God allowed his own Chosen People to be taken into captivity when they turned from Him, why should we think that He would continue to show our nation favoritism with the way we have been acting for almost the entirety of the time most of us here have been alive?

Nothing.

Unless you are implying you can be an obedient Christian without joining a local community of believers in some fashion.

If you are stating that, you’d be way off. Aside from the fact we are commanded to come together as an assembly, take note that virtually every YOU in the letters to the churches (and almost all in Jesus’ teachings) is plural, meaning most of the promises and teaches we claim are directed at assemblies.

There is no such thing as a healthy Christian who chooses to separate themselves from other healthy Christians in the name of individualism.
