Israel is likely to be mystery Babylon.

Rev. 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints

Mt 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

I am not antisemitic, nor do I encourage Antisemitism. I do think the shoe fits to be Jerusalem.

It also seems that mainline christianity follows the same paths of OT Israel. OT Israel settled for a religious system rather than a faith based relationship like Abraham began with.

Israel: Very few OT Jews sought for more from God than the mosaic religious system.

Christianity: mainline christianity settles for a form of godliness and denies the power.

Israel: killed the prophets who were really of God because of them speaking against the wicked state they were in.

Christianity: History teaches about many protestant martyrs of the catholic church who were speaking up against the condition of the church.

Israel: The OT Jews sold out their relationship to the living God for the wealth of other nations. They became like the other nations.

Christianity: mainstream christianity has given up Holy Ghost filled relationship with God for worldliness, big bldgs, big offerings and large numbers. Many have compromised in order to reach numbers and increase their own kingdom and agenda. The church has become like the world.

Many churches seem to be no different than the fallen state of Israel, but God still reserves a remnant.

Yes. An apostate church just like and apostate Jew. those who say they are Jews and are not and those who are lukewarm. Holding a oneness doctrinal formula is not enough either. We must know God rather than simply interpreting Him doctrinally (goes beyond being a 3 stepper). So it goes beyond trinitarian denominations, but instead all denominations. Including some self professing apostolics. Annanias and Saphira where part of the early church, thus they were not in any doctrinal error (the apostles were their teachers), but still they were fakers. So even oneness denominations can be a part of this apostate church lot.

Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

If we aren’t to add or take away, then how many opinions are we allotted?
Can you show how God was in a covenant relationship with the United States?

This is interesting point, are false churches as Trinitarians, and people who happen to not hold the same opinion as we do. Are they in covenant relationship with Jesus Christ? In other words are they part of the Bride? Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots. Is like Gomer, who the prophet married to show God’s covenant relationship with Israel? So, are Trinatarians, Catholics, Baptists, Eastern Orthodox, Presbyterians, and anyone else who doesn’t meet the standard of our shopping list the Bride of Christ?

Just like Israel many of the denominations that you mention are a result of a fallen state of the church. The many denominations are the results of heresies and backsliding that began centuries ago. They go back to the days of the apostles. Just as the natural branches were cut out and we grafted in, we can also be cut off. I am not trying refute that there will always be a remnant. I truly believe that God will preserve a remnant, and believe that we who hold the truth a part of that remnant. At the same time I relize that there are wolves in sheeps clothing even among us.
