I don’t identify my location. It really doesn’t matter does it. “Wherever two or three are gathered in my name” becomes and assembly where Christ is present. All believers are after all “called out” in His name.

So Paul would address his epistle: "To Wherever..."

You have an invisible epistle to an invisible church at an invisible address.

As a matter of fact yes he would. Just as he did when he wrote to the local “assemblies” in each local areas.

It seems your previous statement is no longer operative.

When Paul wrote the letter to the Romans, he wasn't addressing a SINGLE assembly but ALL those who were following Christ (Rome was a BIG city and probably had many assemblies scattered across). That's the beauty of the God-breathed Scripture - it addresses ALL believers with the truth GOD chose to reveal at that time. Because it is God's word, it transcends time and is still relevant today.
