Let me explain why I am asking for resources. I have been in the midst of study and discussion about the New Testament Church vis-à-vis the Old Testament "Church". I know the Hebrew word qahal is often represented by the Greek word ekklesia in the LXX. I agree that God has always had one called out people spanning from the time of Adam until the end of the age. My question revolves around referring to Old Testament believers as part of the Old Testament "Church". The Church is associated with the New Testament. I often have heard Reformed believers qualify themselves when referring to the Church in the Old Testament. The call it the Old Testament Church. Is there really a need for this qualification? What is the dynamic that exists between Old Testament believers and New Testament believers in relation to the Church?
And I do not suppose ye are ignorant that the living Church is the body of Christ: for the scripture saith, God made man, male and female. The male is Christ and the female is the Church. And the Books and the Apostles plainly declare that the Church existeth not now for the first time, but hath been from the beginning: for she was spiritual, as our Jesus also was spiritual, but was manifested in the last days that He might save us.
