I think I’ve just decided that you are a bear-baiter and not a cynical bear.
Sounds like you don’t have the part about church together, so I’m not sure how much of a Jesus follower you can be.

Or could that be what you have been taught that church is? What is your impression of what the home churches in the New Testament were?

While groups of Christians form denominations and meet in buildings and call those *churches*, they are not necessarily so.
Jesus said that where ever two or three are gathered in His name, He is there in the midst. IOW, there is church.
What's your definition of *church* that seems to lead you to question his?
