Jesus didn't "found" a church.
He never said He was "founding" a church.
He said He would BUILD it.
He is not founding a church FOR believers.
He is building a church OF believers.
The church, the body of Christ, is not a religious country club, a little spiritually minded enclave of *us against the world* mentality, where those who call themselves Christians can huddle together and high five each other and pat each other on the backs about how special they are and how spiritual they are and smugly look down their noses at those *heretics* out there who haven't *arrived* yet.
He said He would BUILD it.
Silly semantics. Have you ever heard of a foundation stone?
