The word church appears about a hundred times in the word. The translators wanted to convey the idea of a building, not the people. Ekklesia means called out ones. That's people called unto Christ, not stone edifices and cathedrals called unto Christ. How dumb can it get.
Because of this mis translation, untold damage has been done to the body of Christ. Buildings patterned after the pagan temples of old. A seated audience with a hierarchal priesthood.
Jesus removed stone from a top of stone of the Jerusalem church building in 70ad by Titus and a roman army. You'll note that He did not tell His disciples to start building church buildings with podiums, pulpits and hierarchy control freaks. Never happened. That was totally satans idea and there were no shortage of aspiring men to take the unholy task on.
This very hour most christians believe that a brick building is the church. If not then what's this language 'where do you go to church?' And 'I go to such and such church' and 'we are building a new and bigger church'. Hocus pocus and Barnum and bunkum.
God does not dwell in buildings made by hands, He dwells in us. We are His temple of residence. Remember, He destroyed the old ways of doing things along with Solomons idea of a building.
'Neither in this mountain church or in the church in Jerusalem shall men worship God,'He told the Samaritan woman.
'But they that would worship God will worship Him in spirit and in truth.' Is it any wonder that in our man made buildings, little Spirit and little truth can be detected?
