We know that God did not send a church He sent a ‘Savior’..

And that Savior’s body on earth, I find in Paul, is the Church. So either God sent an incorporeal Jesus or He sent the Church in the same act as that of sending Jesus.
That body is the body of believers Mad Dawg...not a building or group of selected men who officiate over it, though I understand that is otherwise your belief.
I will rest on the scriptures who tell me Christ is sufficient for all our needs and the church body of believers reflecting Him and bringing the Gospel message of salvation to an unsaved world. With Christ Jesus as the head and to whom all authority is given both in heaven and on earth.
You may have found a church in Paul but it wasn't the Catholic church...
Jesus went to heaven...God sent an incorporeal Holy Spirit to take his place...
God did not send a Chruch...We have become the church...
What part of you makes up your portion of the Body of Christ; your flesh, your soul or both???
