Do We Need All This?

[Amanah]

well, this probably isnt relevant, but, a good part of the OT, was spend rebuilding and repairing the temple in Jerusalem, which was extravagant in expenses lavished on it.

so, i can't think that God would really object to have nice houses of worship.

on the other hand, why not go back to open air tent meetings where people can see a service in process and drop in w/o feeling pressured.
