Thanks for the response Hive account@in-his-image I appreciate it! Have you run into this guy before? He likes to leave comments like this then he RARELY IF EVER responds to the reply left on his comment.

But it got me thinking...check out

Acts 7:38 "This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

Say what? The church was in the wilderness when they left Egypt? Yes...it was there!
The greek word in that verse is Lexicon :: Strong's G1577 - ekklēsia and is translated as "church" 115 times and "assembly" only 3 times. If the church as in the wilderness with Moses then that means that the "church" was not created after Yeshua died and rose again.

You can find more information about the word ekklēsia below.
