"You're trying to tell me that OT prophets were "renegades" ..."

Hmmm...Does this sound like a 'renegade'?

"Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia"

or this...

Hosea was commanded to take a wife who would become a prostitute as an example of God's relationship with Israel.

Yup. They were renegades alright.

"...who didn't obey the Law..."

What law are you referring to?

We can go around and around about this but it is pointless. Like I posted earlier, the concept of "church" today is not reflected in the Bible. Read it. It is not there.

OK then, let's disband all the churches, shutdown the salvation army, cease funding for overseas missions from those same said churches, and close all the religious hospitals. After all, none of that stuff is reflected in the bible.
