That thing about a rich man in Heaven and a camel through a needle.
No churches to be built.

Absolutely NO Christian group follows even ONE of these rules, never mind all of them.
The creed of Christianity is greed and violence, its legacy from Judaism, and what it passed on to Islam.

The church is made up of individuals and each individual is at a different stage in his/her spiritual growth. In a church you may have baby Christians and mature believers; some who still struggle with bad habits and some who have, by the power of the Holy Spirit, overcome them. No Christian on this earth is totally perfect, so the conclusion is: No, you won't find a perfect church on this earth.

Well, the Jehovah's Witnesses are non-violent, politically neutral, don't chase after wealth, forgiving, and I do believe they go out and preach two by two just like Jesus had his followers doing . . . why does everybody always have such bad things to say about them?
Then again, why did the Pharisees hate Jesus so much? Wasn't it because he was doing the right thing and it was exposing them as frauds?

I don't know of any church that lives by your personal interpretations of scripture. But so what? A set of personal interpretations and two dollars will get you a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. No churches to be built? Where did you get that from? Where is a congregation to worship on a rainy day?

Christ never commands no churches to be built. They are merely gathering places. In the first century, since Christians were not tolerated, they had to give sermons and such in private homes or risk it in public. Anyway, I am fond of the conservative Quakers.

yes, The Church of Christ the true Churches of Chrisit only follow The word of God. ( and the building is not the Church it is where faithful followers are commanded to assemble every Sunday to worship God)
Christ died for His Church. Acts 2 Christ's Church was established here on earth on the day of Pentacost.
Acts 2:38 we are commanded to repent and be baptized for remission of sins....

Well....let's see...
If you pray for people, you love them. We often pray for others who oppose themselves..
We turn the other cheek when we love others and pray for them even though they say evil of us
The Camel scripture was about "the love of money" which we don't have..we love God
I dont know anything about "no churches built"

for the record camel through "the eye of the needle"
" Needle's Eye" is the name of a gate that is big enough just for people to walk through
