So what if they call it the house of God. You know why it's called that? Do you know why the Jewish Temple was called that? Because God met His people there. Why make a big deal out of that when there are so much more important issues to attend to?
BTW Notice they referred to it as a HOUSE not as God? Even that statement recognizes it's just a building. It's not that big a deal  |
Because it (a man made structure) is not God's house according to new covenant scripture, WE(the church) are now the House and Tabernacle of the living God, that's why. So when folks go on and on about how nice Gods house looks, or how we need to keep the lights on at Gods house, or somebody needs to vacuum Gods house today, it is nonsense and unscriptural, according to the new covenant. That's why.
"Better slow down, you're in Gods House!"
"Better watch yourself, you're in Gods house"!
"Better not talk like that, you're at Gods House!"
"Did you see the way they were acting in the House of Gawd!!!"
And you say why make a big deal over it? So who actually is?:This kinda nonsensical talk goes on all the time. I hear "Gods House" referring to the structure about 5-10x during the first ten minutes of church meetings, almost every time.
Give me a break. Call it Gods house all day long, but at the end of the day, its not, we are.
