A place is not a congregation either. A congregation means a collection of living people believers.
The word church should correctly read congregation or assemble of believers .
Church is from the word kirk a pagan building of idol worship. The word church is a pagan idol place of worship. Pls read my posting on congregation vs church.

And you shall be the next Saul of Tasius in Jesus name

Ask Frosbel his personal encounter with Jesus.

Call him in lets share our conversion experiences then we will know who met with Christ before Coversion.

No one has had a personal encounter with Jesus, not even you. So no point asking Frobel that. I am Christ just as you also are Christ. The only encounter you can have is with the real you who is all powerful you seem not to be aware of at the moment. Religion destroys knowledge for sure.

The One is the All and the All are the One. Life is not real but an experience through our individual eyes. We are all different experiences, different views, different forms existence manifests. If you exist now, you have always existed and will always exist. Non- existence is unthinkable no matter how you try it.

Therefore the baby born today and the old man who passes away are just a start and a finish of an experience which are all you. This includes the Universe, planets, different forms in which You exists. So when you are asked to love your neighbor as yourself , it’s simply because your neighbor is you.

This is deep. No wonder it took me so long to understand it.

The church is called The house of God and The place where God is worshiped is called the house of God .

The term church originally implies a people called rather than a temple... Now, that the body of Christ is referred to as the Church of Christ is not a misnomer.

Why make a fuss on nothing.

Yes i have. And until you have yours, you can never understand what i will tell you. No one ever encounters Christ and turns back.
It is a testimony that lives with you forever. No matter how hard your faith gets tested, that encounters speaks louder and keeps you in Christ's Love.

You shd seek for it. The Epiphanies are not the same.

I concur with you that the statement is wrong

Wrong. The church is not a people
Wrong, the church is not a gathering

Wrong, the church is not a and/or the place where God is worshiped

Let the Bible speak for itself

1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Church? by nicemuyoo: 6:39pm On Jan 03, 2018
After the destruction of the temple in 70AD. There is no location that you can referred to as the house of God.
God did not put his presence in any man made building or location again except in human beings! The living stones which make up the congregation of Yahweh that is the body of Christ with him being the chief cornerstone.
If any man says God has put his anointing in a physical location or building and his Holy spirit now resides there is lying or ignorant of scriptures. Holy spirit now resides in living stones not the one made with human hands.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English
But if I delay, that you may know how it is necessary to behave in the household of God, which is the church of THE LIVING GOD, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

GOD'S WORD® Translation
in case I'm delayed. I want you to know how people who are members of God's family must live. God's family is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.


Bible > NIV > Acts 7

◄ Acts 7 ►
47But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

48“However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:

49“ ‘Heaven is my throne,

and the earth is my footstool.

What kind of house will you build for me?

says the Lord.

Or where will my resting place be?

50Has not my hand made all these things?’l

51“You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit

This is Paul talking to Timothy here and Steven talking to the sanhedrin . You see God is spirit and he has shed his Holy spirit upon true believers not on buildings made with human hands.
Folks let us be true to scriptures. Let scriptures speak out for itself. Paul, Timothy, Steven, Peter, james all knew God has not put his spirit on building or at any location but on believers. Yahshua never taught them that God would place his anointing on any man made structure.

This ideology of a physical God, in a physical place or anointing in a physical location or building is a pagan ideology at its best. This was the pagan ideology that made children of Isreal to build a golden calf. Yahweh is spirit and He wanted to speak to the face to face from the mountain but they could not comprehend.
They insist on having a physical God or object.( They actually taught the golden calf now represents yahweh)
They wanted a king a physical one not a king they cannot see so God gave them Saul.
Yahweh has to allow a foreshadow system of worship to keep them in check. Their minds where too carnal.
Even yahshua said Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because your heart were to Hard to teach!.

you are correct, the church is Christ in every believer. You see, Adam was made of the earth but Eve was made purely of Adam. Eve has nothing of earth in her, she is purely Adam. Adam is a type of Christ and Eve is a type of the Church. This means the Church is purely Christ, she has nothing of the flesh in her. Flesh with its deadness does not exist in the Church. You cannot find any work of the flesh in the church, sin does not exist in the Church, for the Church is utterly Christ, it is the Christ in every believer.
