The “club” or Church came before Scripture. If there is no Church we have no Scripture.
Only many volumes of misinterpretations and argument.
There was Christ, then His Church, then Scripture.
The english word church comes from a German word that means building.. sometimes morphed into congregation/gathering..
The word “church” is not in the bible... anywhere..
The word has evolved from denominational dogma..
“Ekklesia” is morphed to mean church... it does not mean that..
