Martin Luther was right. They are still like this.

BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN one, not some arbitrary single
Ofc there is. There are churches that refuse to have a specific denomination label on them. Look at the Verses mentioning the Church or "body of believers".
Idk about the date, but yes you are right that Godly men assembled the Bible.
Wasn't that advice? or mabye policy for Church BUILDINGS?
So you mean it's just a building?
Come on dude. It's as much "just a building" as you're just a physical body.
No, it's the Body of Christ which is both physical and spiritual. Both are part of the historic manifestation of the Church here on Earth - the one holy universal and apostolic Church established by Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit who descended upon the apostles on Pentecost as Christ had promised. The apostles passed the Spirit to their disciples by the laying of hands (one of the holy sacraments of the Church).
This sacrament continues to our day and forms a continuous succession tracing back to the apostles and ultimately to Christ who is the head of the Church.
The Church is also called the Ark of the new covenant because those who are in it will be saved from the flood (in this case the Second Coming). The Church is also called the bride to the groom who is Christ - as in the parable, we are all invited to the wedding but only those who come dressed appropriately (the righteous, having good deeds and who repent from sin) and in time (while on this Earth) will be admitted to it.
