None of your sources alluding to Rome change the words of Christ. Yes, physical location is the subject; that is specifically what the Samaritan woman asked about. Jesus doesn’t even leave the door open to that idea. Rather, He indicates that the state of the heart has superceded physical location. From now on, worshipping “in spirit and truth,” is the standard.

Any and all sources must defer to Christ. It’s His church, and He alone gets to specify where—or more importantly how—’the assembly,’ [superior translation] is to worship.

I wasn’t attempting to change the words of Christ. Christ did not say, “physical location is no longer a factor”. That is your own quote, not what Christ said.
