Böhme foresaw the day the world would one day profane the Gospel’s and mission of Christ, through sects driven by either political power or dialectical drivel with dogmatism, as his reaction to the wars provoked by Reformation, I don’t think he is very critical on the Church with this question besides the critique of fact hierarchy are not immune to corruption, however for a Catholic a focal point to return to Mystics, since his style is more oriented in that direction not limited by his time period, and many mystics were misunderstood, he was Lutheran by contingency of being raised as one, but he could sense how moderns would subvert Christianity as umbrella term of cultural label, becoming more like a brand of Babel
Christians, however, have no sect. They can dwell in the midst of the sects, even appear in their worship services and yet cling to no sect. They have only a single knowledge, which is Christ within. They seek only one path, which is the desire that they always want to act and to live rightly. They place all knowing and willing in the life of Christ. They sigh and wish always that only God’s will be done within themselves, and that God’s realm may become revealed within. Daily and hourly they kill the sins in the flesh. For the seed of the woman, as the inner person in Christ, constantly tramples the head of the devil in vanity (Gen. 3:15).
