Five of these scriptures

instruction to the elders to
“feed THE CHURCH OF

none offense, neither to
the Jews, nor to the
Gentiles, nor to THE
CHURCH OF GOD.”
4. (3) I Corinthians 11:22: “...or

not?”

his own house, how shall

CHURCH OF GOD?”
7. (9) I Timothy 3:15: “...behave
yourself in the house of God,
which is THE CHURCH OF THE

God by using the term
“living.”

have no such custom,
8. (11) I Thessalonians 2:14:
