Bubble addresses the Christian Church?

In another thread, AvalonX claimed that parts of the Bible specifically are addressed to "The Christian Church."

I wish for him, or anyone to prove it. A far as I know, the term Christian doesn't exist in the Bible.

I am guessing it is probably linked to Mathew 16:18

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

Well, Revelation is addressed to the seven churches in Asia, isn't it? I'm sure it says that somewhere at the beginning before it stops making any sense whatsoever.

Yeah I didn't think of that, there is also Acts, Apocrypha and the various letters by Paul and others

Of course, to address a point made in the OP, I don't think they're called "Christian" churches specifically, and for some of the books mentioned, I suppose it's questionable whether the churches addressed should be considered distinctly Christian or whether they were still Jewish sects. But I'm sure people who understand this stuff much better than I will be along shortly.

The Bible does mention the schism that could be seen as the beginning of the transformation from a Jewish sect to a stand alone entity

Misunderstood the thread title, so thought that Michael Jackson's chimp had made a speech to church leaders.

I would like to hear Michael Buble address the christian church. Perhaps about his porcupine.

I'm using a tablet and didn't see the word corrected to Bubble.
