[ His Church was set up for us, to hear and worship Him. ]

Jesus never used the word “the Church”..
The modern churches are in effect synagogues..

“Ekklesia” does not mean church.. but those called out of synagogues.. (Jn ch 10)
Jews and Gentiles seem to prefer Synagogues.. Whether Baptist, Buddist or Moose/Mason Hall..

I think you may want to explain this analysis of the Church of hosepipe lol.

Of course most Christians were Jews...but indeed they met together in Church to worship Jesus Christ. When they gathered, whether by 2 or 3 or 30, was it not Church?

Eventually larger communities gathered, Christians together celebrating and worshiping Jesus Christ’s Son, in Church.

The term “Church” refers to the body of people who are believers in Yeshua (Jesus). It is also referred to as the body of Christ. Hence it is not a building or organization, but a living breathing entity made up of believers whatever denomination they choose to call themselves. As long as they believe that the blood of Christ has saved them and have turned from their sins, they are part of his Church.

Once anything is added to the sacrifice of Christ for salvation, that individual no longer is a believer, but is dependent upon their own good works for admittance to heaven. The Church is much bigger than any list of members of recognized denominations. Read Mega Shift to discover how little we know of the Body of Christ in Muslim lands, and how surprised we will be at His coming.
