funny, Jesus spoke of His Church, singular. I didn’t realize there could be more than one Church, certainly the Scriptures only speak of one Church.

His Church is made up of ‘all’ those believers who have given their life to Christ for Salvation......but some have difficulty in distinguishing between ‘His House’ and theirs.

Funny, I thought you would be familiar with the English language, where the word has come to mean more than just how it is used in the Bible.

“funny, Jesus spoke of His Church, singular. I didn’t realize there could be more than one Church, certainly the Scriptures only speak of one Church.”

Actually, this isn’t even true:

“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” (Acts 9:31)

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1 Cor. 14:33)

“The churches of Asia salute you.” (1 Cor. 16:19)

“Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.” (Rom. 16:4)

“What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia...” (Rev. 1:11)
