What is the meaning of the term 'church'?
1. Is it a public/private building made of bricks,wood, cement, etc like a club?
2. Is it a thought process (place in the heart/mind)?
Greek word 'ecclesiology' = ekklesia/ecclesia (assembly, church) + logos (thought, word, principle)?
“church” = ecclesia, meaning to be “called out” ?
If so, irrespective of religious interpretations, creeds, customs, beliefs,traditions,etc 'The true Church of God' is simply a THOUGHT PROCESS.
Further,
Egyptians believed that feelings and thoughts originate in the heart.
To the ancient Hebrews the heart was the mind including all thoughts including emotions.

But, modern Christianity uses mind and heart separately by mixing Latin and Greek terminology.

Is spirituality: property or income owned by a church?

@The Lord of Misrule,
If kuriakos means Lord's (belonging to the lord) reference to 1 Corinthians 11:20 (Lord's supper) and Revelation 1:10 (Lord's day), then did/do you learn whatever it is including yourself and everything you regard as external world, simply because you can think? Then who could be your true lord, the creator and where could he be?
