Admittedly that is an ambiguous statement and it depends entirely on what ones definition of what the church is.
So even with the correct definition we still make the mistake of saying, were going to church today.

Yes I have been quite adamant in the past about going to "church".
As pointed out in the book I have proof texted passages in the Bible to get my position across ,as has ever member of this forum rightly or wrongly.
I readily admit my mistakes. Always have and have aplogized when I have been wrong.
So yes my position has changed after reading the book.

Jesus loves the church, He is in the church but the church is as you correctly stated the ecclesia. However we have the word church so ingrained in our heads to mean a building or denomination . But in summation if we don't study what the new testament church really was and how it operated we wont understand that really there are really very few if any true new testament church's in existence today as defined in the book.

So again I apologize for my interpretation of what scripture says.
