Yes, correct.
It's the same thing.

No. People are individuals. Churches are groups of individuals.

While the church is with you wherever you go,
the church is not just Jesus and me.
All believers around the world and throughout time are the church,
and in order to function as the church,
we must seek opportunities to gather together.

It's clear that all need to be in one accord, and I'm not talking about a Honda Accord.

But the church is not in one accord.

Point is that most of the church is in
a coma, that's why this thread was started.

It was not started to argue over individuals or groups
of individuals, that would be plain childish.

Nice, Dordt. Don't bother putting down the death centered one; make a life centered one : )

See, the thread title didn't say SOME CHURCHES, just churches are in a coma, meaning all churches are in a coma and thankfully it's not that way in my world.

There are many of us that sees the problem. What we need to do, is to seek a solution. The only solution that I see, is, 'back to the Bible.”

There were rich Christians among the saints. The Apostles could have set up a Tithing system, and built churches. Did they?
Peter and the apostles set up home churches.

I pray that we don't have to wait until the One World Religion takes over, before God's people move out of dead churches, and set up home churches.
It is the Paganism in churches that has killed them, and those that don't see this, will go right along with the Pagan OWR.
