For confirmation of my points, look up the words "true church" or "recovered church" or "genuine church" and see how many unique hits you get. How many have fallen for this fatuous nonsense. Either God raised Jesus from the dead, or no. Either we believe, or no. Only Jesus Christ is real and genuine and true. The rest is presumption.

Paul's letters to the churches are not pointless. For example, his instructions to the Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians and Timothy, are mostly practical and little to do with the resurrection or simple faith in Christ. You sound like one of those people who think church is watching a TV program from the comfort of your living room, and you have all the spiritual sounding justification to go along with it. But it's all in your head, it's not practical, you can't have a practical church based only on the resurrection and belief, just as we cannot have a bible that only includes the gospel of Matthew. We must have, at bare minimum, the Lord's Table, as even the Lord commanded it, yet you call this "presumption". Then we have the matter of elders, apostles, prophecy, baptism, food and seating arrangements to take care of. Parking ones car (or donkey, in ancient times), also important.

I thought Christ was all in all? You have to leave Christ to park your car?

What about drive-thru church?
