Nope. In fact Jesus himself makes clear church is where you preach. Be it in your home or a hill side; together or alone. Church isn't a singular building; unlike temple. Likewise, Christianity specifically moves away from a clergy class and theistic rule. The relationship is directly between you and God. Explicitly, no clergy is required to be Christian.
But the Catholic church inserted itself into everything, including marriage, idol and pagan worship, clergy, and control of the canon material locked behind literacy, Greek, and Latin.
Enter the KJV, which made it more accessible. But literacy remained an issue. As did incorrect translations. To date, many translation errors remain. Some accidental. Some because of catholic doctrine conflict. Some because of political correctness. And some because it undermines Jewish interaction of control into the new testament. Some willfully injected by Jews under the banner of translation corrections.
The church Christ spoke of many times is IN YOU, He in you. Religion teaches of buildings when the temple reference Christ used is a body unified and spirit-filled. Satan directs all religions, all denominations.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
This is why the Jewish pharisees saw Jesus as such a threat to their corruption, deception, and power base.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
With the correct translation of:
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are [Israelites] , and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Christianity is the antibiotic to the corruptions of Judaism and especially talmudic (pharisees oral traditions) Judaism.
Technically, Christianity is older than Talmudic Judaism. It's why it explicitly identifies Jesus as a evil and boiling in excrement. The talmud is the written record of the oral traditions of the pharisee priesthood. The bible explicitly mentions their oral traditions and corruptions.
You can always identify Jews by their hatred of Christianity.

Well-versed some 30yrs now. Religion free as well.
The Church is the kingdom of darkness, the counterfeit for the real kingdom of God.
"The kingdom of God cometh not with observation ... look here ... look there ... for the kingdom of God is WITHIN you.
The Creator is raising us up like seeds that will one day grow into trees. The Church is Satan's kingdom, the counterfeit, run by eaters of children and Roman faggots.
Jesus never established a Church. He established a kingdom. Only those who are in that Kingdom know they are in it. Everyone else is dead, deaf, dumb, and blind to it, and rages against it.
The clowns who come here calling people "christcuck" are dickcucks because they worship biological race instead of the one who created biological race. So they are dick worshippers just like the Catholics.
Yeah... what ↑he said; except less polite.

BINGO! Never chase after the nonessentials many believe to be qualifiers or something. Those with eyes see,ears hear. Everything else is legalist bullshit that NEVER lines up with Kingdom principles.
If you are talking about the Kingdom of God, the Greek actually says that it is among you. The field is the world. The Kingdom is here on the earth. The children of the wicked one do control the kingdom at this time. Matthew 13 is a good source for this.
