>a) You're finding a creative way to continue to dodge the question, especially in light of the fact that God's Word specifically commands us to become part of the Body of Christ (i.e. a Church/Congregation)
The Body of Christ is the Church Invisible, thus all Christians are immediately a part of it. Whether you're in Europe, America, or Timbuktu you're still a part of the Church. Even if you happen to be the only Christian.
Individual church authorities or communities are not required.
>Once again, you NEED to be part of community of believers. If what you saw is true, you are literally no better than a garden variety Neo LARPagan practicing their "faith" by themselves. Even original Paganism was contingent on being part of a community, and having Elders of some sort to enforce laws and ceremony.
Yet where I live, there literally is no large community that I can be a part of that can enforce the Law. Thus in any way nobody has been kicked out or punished for transgressing the Law.
Again, see above. You don't need an authority to be a Christian, you don't need an authority to even live a Hebraist life. And as for
>If what you saw is true, you are literally no better than a garden variety Neo LARPagan practicing their "faith" by themselves
This is an appeal to ridicule fallacy and again, following the Law isn't contingent on having an authority or community.
For example, take Tobias in the book of Tobit. There was no community or priesthood to enforce the Law, even among the Israelites themselves since they were polytheists. Yet he still followed the Law.
