I will present one...
Matthew 18:20

And please show me where it states that this "assembly" must meet in a special building. |
Oh oh. Something I noticed. . . I heard this same line many times but it's actually wrong.
Check it out. Jesus was not saying how many make a gathering. He was summarizing the explanation of two or three going to confront someone and judging them as repentant, or a heathen who is impenitent, being as good as himself judging the matter. He is personally represented adequately by the two or three who follow his directives in dealing with a spiritual dissident. That verse is one if the most commonly misapplied of them all. And wadr your explanation is the common mistake.
