Church – Belonging to God; A called-out assembly.
God used this word 114 times in Scripture: Never to Israel in the Masoretic Text Old Testament; 3 times to Israel in the Koine Greek Old Testament; 10 times to Israel in the transition book of Acts; 12 times to the Body of Christ in the transition book of Acts; 63 times to the Body of Christ in the Gospel of Grace (Romans thru Philemon); and 26 times to Israel in their tribulation books of Hebrews thru Revelation.
God has 3 Churches in Scripture; Moses’ and the Church in the wilderness, which is Israel only, no gentiles; the Church the Little Flock in the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is Israel only, no gentiles; and the Church the Body of Christ in the Dispensation of Grace, which are both gentiles and Israel.
The self-appointed title, or titles declared by men, as being a Church is a corruption of the word. A church is not, nor has it ever been, a building or the assembly of people that choose to gather.
The declaration of Christianity as being a Church is a lie. God never determined or designated any religion, Christian or Jew, as being a part of what He is doing.
