The Birth of the Church

Definition: A church is a Christian Place of Worship. Christians go to church on Sundays, to pray, sing hymns and hear sermons and stuff. :

*The gospels and Acts of the Apostles say the Christian movement, and thus the first church, started after the crucifixion of Jesus. Although tradition says that was either 30 CE or 33 CE, there is no actual evidence of the date, other than that the gospels say that it occurred during the governorship of Pontius Pilate. Pilate was governor of Judea from 26 to 36 CE.

• church is sometimes miss used when talking about a material building this is not "THE CHURCH" but merrily the place where the Church meets. John 14:2 says in my Fathers HOUSE are many Mansions meaning
• dwelling places and the first place that we dwell in, is in the body of Christ Jesus the second dwelling place will be in Paradise then finally we will be called to be with God in Heaven our final
• resting place. (1)Matt 16:18- And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (2)Matt 18:17- And if he refuse
• to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church; let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.Answer:"Congregation"... "Group"... "Assembly"... "Cadre," etc.As
• stated above, Jesus says: "... I will build My church..." -- My Congregation."Cadre" is an excellent word to apply here:CADRE: "A nucleus or core group especially of trained personnel able to assume
• control and train others; broadly, a group of people having a unified relationship."The Spirit of Jesus Christ, living, dwelling within the spirits [hearts and minds] of each of the "personnel" of His
• "church" is their unifying relationship.Jesus is the "Builder." He is the "Foundation" of it... the "Rock" upon which it's being constructed."Whosoever cometh to Me, and heareth My sayings, and doth
• them, I will shew you to whom he is like:"He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and LAID THE FOUNDATION ON A ROCK: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that
• house, and could not shake it: for it was FOUNDED UPON A ROCK." (Luke 6:47-48)The Bible, is the "text book" for their schooling and training. It contains the "Wisdom and Knowledge" of God [through
• faith] that's not otherwise discernible to the natural carnal human mind and heart. It's Jesus Christ, the "Builder," the "Rock" and the "Light" who reveals to His cadre the understanding of the Bible
