Hi shag!
There is a literal house= built of wood, brick or stone.
There is the house of God= us, the Church or Bride.
There is the house of God= indiviuals = a walking temple where the Holy Spirit dwells.
Jesus said in Jn14:2-4-In my Father's house are many rooms/mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the WAY to the place where I am going.
Ps 122:1- I rejoice with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord".
Yes, IMO, it's ok to call a church(building)the house of God.
Ps 127:1- Unless the Lord builds the house, it's builders labor in vain.
We are here to help , lift and encourage each other.
Hope that helps.
