It’s an organism, not an organization. Jesus commanded us to take our disputes "to the church."
If His Church is not visible and identifiable, then His command would be void.
But His commands cannot be void.

Oh but it is “visible and identifiable”. Maybe you just don’t recognize it?

We are to take our disputes to other believers as we are to judge disputes between believers.
