If we meet with 2 or 3 in the middle of a sidewalk, IN HIS NAME, He is right there.
If we pray, ANYWHERE, He is there, He hears---unless our sin has separated us from God, by the hardness of our heart, because we have refused to listen for His voice, and our conscience is seared over like as with, a hot iron.
The first verse out of context is the oft-misapplied and oft taken out of context Matthew 18:20 - two or three witnesses. The context is that of a disagreement or fault between brethren. It's largely a restatement of Deuteronomy 19. It has absolutely nothing to do with what you stated in your post.
The second is less so, but still somewhat misapplied - conscience seared with hot iron from 1Tim 4:2. This says nothing about God not hearing our prayer, or even us listening to His voice. It's about seducing spirits, doctrines of devils, and forbidding to marry and eat meat.
Talk about a straw man, this is one that needs to be set on fire. I made a list. In a list, you usually don't explain why each thing is there, that comes later. Which I did, explain.
My opening statement,
Quote:
Come Out Of Her My People
Let's face it. We are ruled in the churches by Pagan Christianity.
It was the Catholic Church that brought in the Trinity baptism.
The hierarchy of Clergy and Laity.
The paying of tithes.
Church buildings
And many other things.
And the only way that I see “to come out of her” is to start Home Churches by those that are completely dedicated to God
And now let's see how some received this, they jumped on buildings, as a strawman, most likely not wanting to face the fact, that the Church is dying. And some of the reasons for it, and Jesus say's “Come out of her” Meaning, come out of the things, practices, laws, rules, the RCC placed in the True Church, thru Constantine.
I went thru most of the Posts, and here is what I said about buildings in response to the ridicule. And also many times I was misrepresented.
Quote:
That is the Truth, exactly. Buildings mean nothing. We could meet in a Restaurant, a warehouse, a home, storefront, anywhere. That shouldn't be the point
And what the RCC has put into place has led to sin. It was sin in the first place, because, …
Constantine, for Political reasons, a Pagan until he died, took churches away from Pagan Priests and gave them, to the Christians. Which sounds great, but at what price? They had to compromise, agree to baptize in the Trinity.
It is a sin to compromise with False Doctrine
Constantine started the first United Religions. Combining Paganism, OT teachings and Christianity
I'm not really saying that we have to abandon buildings. I don't know what to say about that. But if they are set up as little Kingdoms with a King (man) as the ruler. Then I see no other way than to abandon the whole system. But any man in that position is not likely to do so.
However, persecution is on it's way. And just like Constantine, the churches will be asked to join the One World Religion, and if not, they will take the buildings away from you
TheRCC didn't start the Trinity. Almost every Pagan Religion has a Trinity of gods, a Mother (Queen of Heaven) Father and Son. But they authorized it into the Church, where if you baptized any other way, you had your property taken away, whether a church or a home. Many were jailed, and many martyred
I don't believe that I said that the Clergy was sin. "Which sounds great, but at what price? They had to compromise, agree to baptize in the Trinity. It is a sin to compromise with False Doctrine."
And the way that it is being used by the Clergy, is sin. As little Kings over little Kingdoms. Pride in THEIR CHUCH. Ran like a business. Some pastors are Dictators, I've had a few. A stage with performers, with spectators instead of participating. That's just a few.
The above statement needs some fixing. “To stop the martyring of Christians, He gave them buildings, or make it possible for them to have church buildings, tax exemption for the ministry, and many perks. That sounds great, but at what price?
No I did not, state that the RCC started these things.! I said, “ It was the Catholic Church that brought them in,....” You bring in, something that is already in existence. The RCC brought these things in, for political reasons to unite the Paganism, some of the OT, and Christianity, as bribes, some as policy (if they received the bribes) and as law. Not only combining the Religions, but combining Government and Religion

This thread is amazing.......ly absurd. Sorry if that offends you.
It started with the claim that the RCC invented church buildings, tithes, clergy and other things which were then labeled sinful because of the RCC connection
...
WHERE, did I ever say, that the RCC invented church buildings????
Ah and you gathered there because the Roman Catholics invented man made buildings?
Church buildings = sin, according to your statement here.
Do you David, see your strawmen conclusions? Some of these statements were made by Prax, and maybe others. I don't even want to remember who said what or hold any grudges. I do appreciate those that understood what I was talking about.
Seems some don't want to see the condition of the church. That way they won't have to change anything.

See? More accusations. This is called being defensive. Rather than deal with the issues of buildings and how she words things, she tries to turn it around on others in a passive aggressive manner

You still have not proven the RCC did any putting into place with regards to church buildings (Yes you did say that in the first post. Now if you want to admit you were wrong rather than make excuses and try to pin it on others, be my guest)
And HERE you directly use the word SIN.

No you said what the RCC put into place (as of yet unsubstantiated claims) Led to Sin and "It was sin in the first place"
So if the RCC put clergy into place (Unsubstantiated claim), it both Led to sin and was sin in the first place

Church buildings predate Constantine. I already posted the evidence. I went through your evidence too and as I said, I saw no direct evidence to support any of your claims about Paganism and buildings

As I said, prove the RCC "brought them in". The RCC did not drop out of the sky over night. It gradually developed over the course of a few centuries but church buildings were already in use by Christians before Nicea
Are you taking back your assertion that church buildings are pagan?

WHO invented them then?

My statements were quoting your words and then responding TO them. Why would you need to hold a grudge against me for doing that? It was YOU that attacked me personally.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Is there no end to the things you people will argue about?
Timmy, arguing about buildings is pointless. however, I did bring up the fact in a list of other things, The RCC helped the Christians to have Church buildings but to do so, the Christians had to give up, especially Jesus name baptism and embrace other Paganistic practices, plunging the Church into the Dark Ages.
AND THIS IS VERY NUCH WORTH DISCUSSING. if people could discuss it with a level head.
With Luther starting the Reformation, even though he kept many of the RCC rules, it was a step out of the Darkness.
Today, if Time would permit, Pentecost is heading into Darkness again. Paganism, is just one of the problems. Worldliness is the other. and both are caused by lack of dedication.
I believe that God is calling all of those dedicated to TRUTH, tired of programs, building funds, talent show, etc, to, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE.
Not only do I not like them, but I don't like anybody that likes'm.
