If the Church was Before the Death of Christ!!!

 1. Under the Old Covenant – No Justification – Romans 3:20.
 2. Under Levitical Priesthood alone – Hebrews 7:11 – 8:4
 3. Dedicated with animal blood only – Hebrews 9:9-11 (Before 
    the New Testament was in force – Hebrews 9:15-17).
    (Before the church was brought by the blood of Jesus – Acts 
    20:28)
 4. Without remission of sins in name of Christ – Luke 24:47-49
 5. Without reconciliation to God – Ephesians 2:16; 2    
    Corinthians 5:18
 6. Before the Middle Wall was removed – Ephesians 2:14-17
 7. Without the Holy Spirit – John 7:39; Acts 2:1-4
 8. Before New Man was created – Ephesians 2:15; Galatians 3:28
 9. Before Christ was laid as the foundation – 1 Peter 2:6
10. Before the Apostles were placed in the foundation – 
    Ephesians 2:20
11. Before Christ became the head of the church – Ephesians 
    2:19-23
12. Under Human Head – Not under Christ – Colossians 1:18-24
13. Before anyone was baptized into the name of the Father, Son, 
    and Holy Ghost – Matthew 28:18-20
14. Without authority from Christ – Matthew 28:18-20
15. Before Christ could be “Put On” – Galatians 3:27
16. Without Eternal Redemption – Hebrews 9:12
17. Under the limited commission – Matthew 10:5-6
18. Before they were allowed to preach Christ – Matthew 16:20; 
    17:9
19. Before Christ was placed on the Throne – Acts 2:30-35
20. Before Christ became a priest. Hebrews 8:4
21. Before Christ was perfected. Hebrews 5:8-9

From the above it is clearly evident that the church was not 
established before or during the personal ministry of Christ. 
Mark 9:1; Acts 1:5-8; 2:1-4.
