I ran across an article by some dude named Randolph Cook, from Enid, Okla. He seems to have latched onto the idea that, by romanticising
so-called church buildings, he can and will somehow fool all believers into a loving endearment for things, which, realistically speaking,
seems to be a greater love for things more than a love for God's people. Get a load of this stuff:

The only way i can rightful defend a church building is the fact we need a
place to worship together as a body of believers and to teach. However it
could look like a run down shack and still be a place of worship, but it a
natural thing to take care of the place you worship in if you are able to
do so. It not odd for people to hang curtains on windows, or paint, This is
just a natural human ...

A defense of groups having a building isn't necessary because I'm not attacking the mere possession of buildings, but
rather the primary support of such things from the people's giving. I'm also attacking the foolishness of ...

How many churches have you been to and looked at the insdie.
Quite a few, although I don't see what this has to do with what I said about the problem with priorities.
Many are not lavious especially small churches.
That wasn't an issue to the central theme of what I've been addressing.
I can not think of one large church that is over deck out...
Here's an interesting piece of an article written by Donald Eastman:
Throughout much of Christian history it has been common to think of a church building as the "house
of God" offering "sanctuary," a holy place set apart where we find refuge in God's presence. The "sanctuary" is that place set
aside exclusively for worship, for rites, for instruction. Churches are places where we come to...

Disagree, we ordain a building for service use for the ministry.
That article nowhere said anything about ministry in the section you colored. You're shadow boxing just like eddie did way
back when I was able to see his posts. (I guess he's no longer around. He's been completely silent because I haven't seen his posts any more.)
True our bodies are ...
Well, Dave's computer died a hard death, so he's...........computerless.............. for lack of a better word .
Just wanted to pass on what he told me about his recent absence.

just like to me destiney when one doesnt like my way fo worship which is pentecostal i dont care as long as they say im not saved or something and to say that we are wrong by going to a church building to worship is the same thing
Spiritual discernment comes with wisdom of God's word. Now one might read and comphrend spiritual things, but does one grasp at the heart level. That what you missing destiny. It doesn't mean you do not know right from wrong, it is kind of like anyone can cook, but a chef knows special things and how to do it. One might learn to be a chef without creditials , but eventually they could equal a chef without a degree. However the chef...
jargon631 wrote: yes...exactly...and to assert that someone doesnt know those things because they arent a christian is to know blindness...fd Just so I understand what you're saying: Those who reject Christ can see spiritual things in life. Yes. I agree. After all, we're spiritual beings in physical form. That's not to say that they see clearly, or that they can discern that which eminates from God, but they can see and discern...

I'm not missing that. It sounds to me like we are saying the same thing. In fact on many occasions on this site I have indicated that. But Jargon, I'm sure, feels attacked. But I know this - those that discern spiritual things know love and compassion.
" God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; " (Acts 17:24-25).
