What is a church?

'katholikos' is not in the bible. And the apostle's creed is a writing created after scripture and not part of it although it may simply restate what is in scripture with other subtle inferences intended. Citing or reciting a statement or phrase repetitively is of no value, no different than praying the rosary, or preconceived prayers, all useless and not from the heart: All show, no different than what the Lord criticized the hypocrites of doing, praying in public, vain repetitions, etc. And it's origins are Roman. Small 'c' , capitalized 'c', doesn't matter, still has the inference and reference to the catholic Catholic Church.

Are you the new RC pope?
All of our posts are extra-biblical opinions,
but some may be better/truer/of more value than others.

"Extra-biblical" and "opinions" are both meaningless in my view when it comes to scripture and the understanding of it; I'm not interested in either one. If it's "extra-biblical", its unscriptural and of no value, and similarly, if it's someone's opinion, it's of no value scripturally since it's not supported by God's word and only an opinion of man.

"Extra-biblical" means it is not part of canonical Scripture, such as our posts, not that it is antithetical or opposed to GW.
I trust our opinions are supported by GW rather than "only an opinion of man" and thus have value.
Do you agree?
