Well according to you the Church is a building. The rest of us are in line with Scripture that says the Church is made up of true believers, not a building, denomination, or particular location. Against the true Church, the gates of hell will not prevail.

Will they still be abusing people in Heaven too?
Well the Church is "blood bought and blood washed." That is what makes the the church the church.
But you should not be using the word Church!
Because the Church is the body of Christ.
And the body of Christ has never abused anybody.
Now your being politicly correct. Were talking about the Catholic CHURCH. Who I know from personal experience abuse people. The wwcog, who I have seen regularly abuse people and so it goes.
The World wide CHURCH of God.
The MORMON church.
The CHURCH of the latter day saints, to name a few.
We never named them, they named themselves and call themselves a church, their church.
So, when we speak of them publicly or on a forum what should we say?
The Catholic Hmmmmmumble?
The Mormon Hmmmmmmumble?
The Hmmmmmmmmumble of the latter day saints?
Are you saying that Jesus has failed and that the gates of HELL has prevailed against HIS Church?

Right the church does consist of those who trust and believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior not a building or a group meeting in a building.
And according to billy and Ironman that group of people called the church abuses people.
I really don’t believe that is the case, for Jesus "loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:25-27
How can the church of Jesus be an abusing church?

How can the church of Jesus be an abusing church?
Never once said or alluded that the church of Jesus Christ abuses anyone?
This is the true church!
Jesus Christs church is not a building or a particular religious group with
some special name? The new Testament Church, of which Jesus Christ is the
head is a called out body of people of all nations who have been born again and
who have lived a true Christian life and died in the faith. It also includes
all those who are alive in Christ today. This present church is called the
"ekklesia" of the New Testament times, called out of this world to
evangelize the world in this age.
The church, in its largest signification is the whole company of redeemed in
all ages, in Heaven and in Earth (Eph. 3:1-11; Heb. 12:23). It is the spiritual
people who have been made members of the universial family of God. The church
in this sense is the body of Christ, and it does not consist of saved and
unsaved. It is not a group of individuals associated together for social and
benevolent purposes, as seems to be on every hand in most worldly church
gatherings. It is the body of people indwelt by God through the Holy Spirit and
through whom God works in the world.
The church is a supernatural body of believers filled with the presence and
power of God as individuals conform to the gospel of Christ. The church is like
a family in its social life, yet is unlike a family in its formation. Each
local church is a part of the universal church in the broad sense.
However there are many in local churches that do not belong to the body of
Christ, and therefore they are not a true part of the universal church of the
New Testament.

Great glad we are in agreement!
There may be some "in local churches that do not belong to the body of Christ, and therefore they are not a true part of the universal church of the New Testament" who abuse people...
BUT there is NO abusive church. The Church that Jesus created is a pure and holy body that overcomes all that Hell has to offer.

Remember this is a discussion board and people sometimes have different views.
And if you want to disagree with me that is OK.
BUT I think you are wrong about Haz because he said: "Never once said or alluded that the church of Jesus Christ abuses anyone?"
So he does not believe in an abusive church of Jesus Christ either.

I dont believe google over Jesus. I was refering to Mystery Babylon the mother of Harlots and all her offshoots, dont you see that in my posts?
Im not referring to this church,
If your not a member of this church, your in the wrong
one, according to Scripture, its that simple. Paul never taught Jesus +
some church brings salvation, Paul never taught Jesus + certain
sacraments brings salvation, Paul never taught Jesus plus
legalism brings salvation, Paul never taught Jesus + purgatory brings
salvation, Paul never taught circumcision brings salvation, Paul taught
only Jesus + nothing else brings salvation.
We cannot do anything, or add anything to all Jesus, the Father and
the Holy Spirit did to save mankind.
All we need do is believe in Him and in Him who sent Him.
Galatians 1: 6, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7, Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9, As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10, For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to
please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11, But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
preached of me is not after man.
12, For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
