I welcome small comments here in the blogosphere. If you really want to discuss some of this, find the right place in the main forum and set up a thread.
Jesus is the main thing. Jesus is the focus of the Bible, both OT & NT. Jesus should be our focus, not the church. Paul said that his gospel, which he called "the Gospel of God" was "...concerning His Son..."... it was not concerning the church... see Romans 1.

The Gospel, the Good News, is concerning Jesus. I would posit that those who focus on "building" are in danger of building Babylon.
