A church is mentioned in the OT (via Acts):
(Acts 7: 37, 38): 37* This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 38* This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

Moses was in the church in the wilderness. This church consisted of old-testament saved saints. A church is simply a congregation, not some universal entity as pushed by Catholics and her protestant children. We are collectively called "saints" in the Bible, existing in many congregations/assemblies/churches.

Logically all it takes is one exception to invalidate a theory. Here it is--the fly in the catholic church ointment.
