Question:<\/span> <\/p>\n When was the first Christian church\u00a0founded and by whom?<\/em><\/span> Has Jesus entered any\u00a0Church?<\/em><\/span> If yes, where?<\/em><\/span> Has Jesus ever prayed in a church?<\/em><\/span> If so, please tell me the name and the place of this church.<\/em><\/span> Has Jesus worshiped\u00a0the saints\u00a0painted on the walls and\u00a0on wood icons in a church?<\/em><\/span>\u00a0If yes, please give details because we can not believe\u00a0without details and without investigating. <\/em><\/span>We must know whom we worship.<\/em><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Because there are more questions here, I will need to take them\u00a0one by one, but not before giving the answer to the main question.<\/span> <\/p>\n From the way the question was addressed it is clear that to the author\u00a0the church is the building where Christians gather, or the house of worship.<\/span> This is not the Church, but the building where the Church gathers for worship.<\/span> The word \u201cchurch\u201d in English\u00a0translation of the Bible is the Greek \u201cekklesia\u201d<\/em><\/strong> which was used extensively in the Greek world until the writing of the\u00a0New Testament and it\u00a0symbolized initially\u00a0the gathering\u00a0of the\u00a0citizens called out from their homes in a public place to address certain public issues.<\/span>\u00a0Sometimes\u00a0this word\u00a0was\u00a0used to mean any gathering of people assembled with or without a purpose.<\/span> In t<\/span>he New Testament this word ekklesia,<\/em><\/strong> or Church,\u00a0has the same meaning of assembly, i.e. the gathering of\u00a0those redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for inheriting eternal life.<\/span> Moreover, a phrase used in the Bible is \u201cthe church that is in this or\u00a0that house\u201d, that\u00a0makes a clear distinction between the gathering of the believers and\u00a0the building.<\/span> Here\u2019s an example:<\/span> <\/p>\n The churches<\/strong> of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house<\/strong>. (1 Corinthians 16:19)(NASB)<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Buildings can not send or receive greetings.<\/span> Carefully reading the New Testament you will easily see that it is always a\u00a0clear delineation between the Church that is the meeting of\u00a0Christians and the place where the Church was gathering, that this sacred assembly.<\/span> <\/p>\n Now, to answer the questions I have been\u00a0asked \u2026<\/span> <\/p>\n According to the Word of God there is only one Christian Church which is composed of the redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span> This Church was born when the Holy Spirit descended\u00a0in the Day of\u00a0Pentecost, 10 days after the Ascension of Jesus Christ.<\/span> The event is reported in chapter 2 of the book of Acts.<\/span> <\/p>\n If you think that the Church is the\u00a0building, then no, Jesus has never entered into a church when He\u00a0was on earth because the Church has not been yet\u00a0established and\u00a0of course it\u00a0has not\u00a0yet had any\u00a0building.<\/span> Lord Jesus went into the synagogue of Jews.<\/span> Now,\u00a0Lord Jesus is present in any building where there are real Christians\u00a0who are born again through faith in Him, as He has promised:<\/span> <\/p>\n For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.<\/strong><\/span><\/span> (Matthew 18:20)(NASB)<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n No!<\/span> Absolutely not!<\/span> Lord Jesus is the One\u00a0whom all saints of all time worship and have to worship. <\/span>He is alive and requires true worshipers to worship Him and the Father in spirit and truth.<\/span> <\/p>\n Translated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: When was the first Christian church\u00a0founded and by whom?
