EKKLESIA (CHURCH) IS NOT A LOCATION

1.   Jesus experienced koinonia(fellowship)  and ekklesia(church life) with the Father in the eternity!

2.   Jesus shared koinonia and ekklesia with His disciples!

3.   Jesus said: “Believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship(proskun=to kiss toward) the Father.  The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers(proskunetes= a worshipper) shall worship(proskun) the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship(proskun) him.  God is a Spirit: and they that worship(proskun) him must worship(proskun) him in spirit and in truth.”
