The Word “Church” Has Ruined The Biblical Narrative
The word "church" in the Bible ruins the biblical narrative of God's plan.
"Church" was added to the Bible by the Holy Roman Empire to enable the political and religious leaders to have power over the people.
The correct word in the Bible is assembly.
Why does this matter?
Modern prophecy teachers say the church will be raptured, and then God will complete his plan for Israel.
The problem with this is the word church is not a biblical word.
There is no future rapture of the church.
It’s highly likely the rapture occurred around the time of AD 66.

God's plan for Israel was Jesus.
Jesus would create a new temple, which is the assembly of believers into the spiritual temple where God lives by his Spirit.
Paul explains this fully in Ephesians 2:11-22.
Most translations have the word church in these verses and other verses in Ephesians.
Consequently, the narrative of the spiritual temple of God is lost.
The spiritual temple is the biblical narrative.
The word church causes us to miss the spiritual temple of God.
