The Church being a building is an oxymoron and a heresy

Oxymoron: A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.

Heresy: opinion or doctrine at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine, esp. of a church or religious system

A Church is a community of believers, hence the term, the Apostolic Church.

Do you now understand how incorrect your statement is?

[.. A Church is a community of believers, hence the term, the Apostolic Church. ..]

Not so.. what you describe is a Club.. The "Apostolic church" is a church of the flesh.. A club of fleshy things.. The church is a spiritual family.. A family of spirits.. You must be BORN into the church not inducted/appointed.. The "Apostolic Church" is a CLUB.. which is to say, a Cult.. A Cargo Cult..
