I dont get what you are saying...........individual churches???????
I was saying there are two churches..............the church identified with Peter...........the church identified with Paul........they both are built together to be the household of God
They serve different purposes............Peter's church purpose is to fulfill the promises made to Israel in regard to the kingdom on earth............Revealed to Paul was that, by the body of Christ, the heavens would be reconciled
JESUS spoke of 7 individual churches in His Revelation.
Revelation 1:9-20
I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send
it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me.
And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13and in the midst of the seven lampstands
One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
14His head and hair
were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15His feet
were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;
16He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance
was like the sun shining in its strength.
17And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
18I
am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
19Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.
20The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands:
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
Where do these seven churches reside?
