That “tell it to the “church” does not mean some conglomerate religious organization. It was the local assembly of believers that person was normally meeting with.

Also, Jesus put a lot of responsibility on the individual believer to resolve issues himself.
Going to the church was a last resort.

It was the local assembly of believers that person was normally meeting with.So Christ established His Church with teaching authority, and handed it over to every 3 or 4 folks who got together?? Is that what you are saying?
And what if your church disagreed with the church across town?
