Emile - not to argue over the "fact" that Jesus established
a church - He did so apart from the Established Church found in the Temple -
because it had become polluted with the
doctrines and commandments of men to the extent of overthrowing
the Word of God.

The Word and the Church are not enemies - if they become such
them one needs to ask if the "church" is really the Church
or if it has become yet another Temple left desolate of truth.

I attend no church in my city - not because I am anti-church
but rather because they are anti-truth and would lose no time
in ex-communicating me anyway :-)

I once attended a home fellowship - it was quite nice but no one
took accountability for leadership within it so it folded.

What is you opinion of this "concordant" we appear to be in unity
as far as our outlook at Strong's - you expressed my view well.

Strong's is not to be looked down upon - he did far more than
any of us to open the scriptures to English peoples.

Emile - do think there is a chance that the "gates" of hell
may have meant something other than just the powers of satan?
