How did I say the church is a building?

We do meet in a building, but we are not a building

Though we are the temple of God, and at the same time living stones….

You stated:

Sooooooo

You don’t go to a Christian Church?

It seems that you think “Christian” and “Church” are something you go to… and in a way we do in the smaller gatherings translated as “church”….

But it was always in reference to “those who gather” yet we translate it as a place to go…

So, then you are saying you do not go to a “Christian” Church?

LOL!

You said “Christian church” How were we to take that phrase?

you also said “GO TO A Christian Church and last I knew that meant going to a building. Thus my comment, How can I go to what I am?

I go to buildings where Christ followers congregate.(I feel the old Tim and the Rock concert thread cycling back around)

Inanimate objects can not be Christian anything. They are buildings, radio stations, bookstores, tv stations, concert venues, etc. They have no spiritual ability. It is what PEOPLE do with those things that matter.

In the new covenant we have no tabernacle, no sacred space. no holy of holies.

Why is this important. Well……….30 years of ministry has allowed me to see a lot of fussing over the “building” How dare we EAT in the sanctuary., etc, etc, etc, God does not dwell in building made with hands.

The Church is a living breathing people. That’s why it is a big deal when you ODM’s keep lopping off parts of the body. You cripple all of us.

i am beginning to wonder myself about you… LOL!

You are preaching the American gospel there… as the church is not a building… it is a living organism that has an institution that helps run it that may meet in a building…. but it is not a building… so, no that is a bad name for a… Now, in the world’s understanding making Christianity one of the worlds religions… then yes you might go to a “Christian” church… but then you will have to accept that it is equal to all other religions… is that what you believe? LOL!

You see this is an example of Gnostic dualism as it has influenced the Church… we make a Noun… a person in to an adjective… we make Truth a Person, into an abstract concept apart from the Person of Jesus.

He has used that movie to share the story if his conversion to thousands of students. He has been to my church twice and is coming in April to speak to the middle schoolers I teach in AWANA. He does an excellent job of using a few discreet clips from the movie and presents a full Gospel message, particularly to define spiritual lostness and how Jesus saved him from the pit he was in.

By the way, he says the movie is very accurate regarding football, but his Dad was not like that at all.

You’re a piano player too? I help lead the worship at my church too on keyboard and sometimes the grand. That’s really cool man. Keep it real on the 88 brother. I’m glad to know that about you!
