I know I have been waiting to see how Giver responds to you.

I think we might wait a long time. I’m deafened by the silence!! Maybe the phoneline between Giver and his Voice has been cut!
 
Basically, the word we translate “church” in the NT, is congregation of Isreal in the OT LXX. Thus it is easy to locate the church in the OT by tracing words that are used in both the NT and LXX.
CONGREGATION: By : Kaufmann Kohler

1.An assembly convoked for a certain time and purpose ( = ἐκκλησία, I Kings viii. 65; Joel ii. 16; Ps. xl. 10. For and in Ps. xxvi. 12, lxviii. 26, “assemblies” would be more correct than “congregations” [A.V.]; and in Ps. lxxiv. 4 should be rendered " synagogues," not “congregations,” as in A. V.).

  1. A single community ( = συναγωγή, Num. xxxv. 23 et seq.).

  1. The whole body of Israel, called (“the congregation of the Lord,” Deut. xxiii. 1 et seq.; R. V. "assembly is incorrect); Num. xxvii. 17; “the congregation of Israel,” Ex. xii. 3; "the congregation of the children of Israel, Ex. xvi. 1; “the assembly of the congregation of Israel,” Ex. xii. 6 and Num. xiv. 5; or simply and used indifferently, Lev. iv. 13 et seq.; Prov. v. 14, where is preferably translated by LXX. συναγωγή, and ἐκκλησία. To this must be added “the congregation of Jacob,” Deut. xxxiii. 4 (R. V. “assembly”; LXX. συναγωγαίς, plural; so also Ecclus. [Sirach] xxiv. 23).

From the Apocryphal and other Hellenistic writings (see Ecclus. xxiv. 2, xliv. 15, 1. 13 et seq.; I Macc. ii. 56, iii. 13, etc.), and the inscriptions in Schurer (“Gesch. des Jüdischen Volkes,” ii. 432 et seq., iii. 40-46), it appears that “synagogue” = συναγωγή was the name, corresponding to , Aramean , given to the Jewish congregation as a community, as well as to the place of worship; while the name ἐκκλησία (τοῦ Ωεοῦ, or Κυρίου= “assembly of the Lord”; hence κυριακή οἰκία] “church”) was chosen to designate the assembly of worshipers.

It was owing to the influence of Paul that ἐκκλησία (= “church”) became the distinctive name of the Christian communities, while “synagogue” became that of the Jewish congregation, and for some time, also, of the Judæo-Christian congregations (compare Schürer, l.c.).

Maybe Giver can’t understand what his voices are saying?
 
As Giver does not appear to be coming back to this thread I guess its dead but in case you are reading this Giver I will look out for you in any future threads and will keep putting my question to you until you answer it.
