I belong to Jesus Christ directly.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Tied to Christ is not a phrase I would normally use, I only used it in response to your accusation that I am tied to an organization rather than Christ.
Christ comes to me in the Eucharist and the Eucharist comes to me through the Church. That is the tie that binds me to Christ. This is how Christ is in me and I in Him.
Allow Jesus to tell you about it in His own words....
John 6:50-58 (New American Standard)
50 “This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven ; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever ; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” 52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat ?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 “This is the bread which came down out of heaven ; not as the fathers ate and died ; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
