IT? You sure like impersonalizing the Church a lot!
The true underlying Greek NT term for "church" = "called-out ONES" (ecclesia)...meaning the true church is...
...An organism, not an organization;
...flesh & blood -- not brick & mortar;
...the people as the Body of Christ and the Living Temple of the Holy Spirit -- not an institution
Here you've going on for post after post on a few threads this past week -- maybe even saying one or two things right that tends to get overlooked by Christians --and you keep saying that what you are stressing is historically Biblical.
Well, now you're not.
I don't see the Bible ANYWHERE label the Church of Jesus Christ as "institution";
Nor are living people an "it"...
So whoa on some of your finger-pointing 'til you can get your own descriptive act together!
Popcorn!
BINGO!!
