According to the Scriptures, it is not a church that makes the people but rather the body of people together as one that make it what it is: hopefully a Congregation body with Christ as the head of course.. As a real church body can not make itself endure forever without Christ the creator for that matter. Thus let us simply look at the original tongue's roots thereof:
