Contrasting Jesus' Ekklesia with The Church

[TRUTH over TRADITION]

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus uttered these words:

I also tell you this: You are Peter (rock); but I will build my ekklesia (congregation) on this bedrock so that the gates of the hades (the place of the dead) won’t overpower it.

Is the church the same as what Jesus said he would build in this scripture?

The church is, but not all the church's you see are. The ones truly called out for His purpose are the same as what He said they would be. We only need to look as far as the NT church to see it being fulfilled even back then. There was nothing that was not overcome which God called them too.

i used to be like that, only look at the new testament.
but i wonder from what dates all of the books are truly.
maybe some put in bewtween.

just minding.
coz i care for some of them books nowadays more then the enire NT
in fact i find eclasiastics one of the only fully good/well books.(i havent red psalms and proverbs yet)
the only less point me be that there may be a second one who might have to lay down to keep the other good man ok.
