Spiritual house (is a conception which) describes the Christian Church ontologically. The understanding of the Church to be a sort of house comes from within its ranks from the Apostle Saint Peter in robust form in THE FIRST LETTER OF PETER Chapter 2 Verse 5: ".. you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (from the English Standard Version Bible translation).," and in a lesser form from Saint Paul the Apostle in THE FIRST LETTER OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS Chapter 3 Verse 9:"For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building."
