Re: List of grace giving churches.

The temple of Solomon was lavishly decorated with silver and gold.

The temple that Herod built also was a magnificent temple. Of course we know that Herod was a monster, but he at least pretended to be religious, and in order to court favor with the priests, he put up the money to built the temple.
Of course he did some not nice things (Like killing his own sons) to stay in power and become filthy rich.
So we know that Herod was definitely not a good guy, Yet Jesus still called the temple in Jerusalem the house of prayer, Jesus taught inside the Temple.
None of the prophets ever complained about the money spent in the temple instead of giving it to the poor.
Some of the priests were rich from their work in the temple, and Jesus did reprove them for their avarice, but not for them spending money on the Temple.
Why should the house of God be a rundown death trap?
Why should the house of God look like it is inhabited by homeless bums?
Why should the people of God worship in a building without climate control?
Where is it in the scriptures that the church should not spend any money on building a church?
Why should not the house of God look pretty from the outside and the inside?
