1 | Praise the Lord! | Exodus | tremere123@comcast.net | 68003 | ||
As I have said before I read the Bible everyday...I also do studies on it...but I believe this verse Hebrews 8:10,11 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be My people. "None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. also...Hebrews 9:11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. and...Hebrews 9:24 For Christ has not entered the Holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; and especially this...Hebrews 3:6 but Christ as Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. Now here's were I say "I believe" and everyone gets upset....I believe that this Scripture and many other verses tell us that the true Church of God is not in a building made with hands but is us when we agree...and I do feel (uh oh I said I feel) that everyone's walk with God is very personal and very secret in that it's supposed to be between you and God only...not that you are not supposed to shine your light but one does not have to be in church to shine...most people in church are already saved! I do not think bad of those who go to church regularly...and I have gone many times before and intend to again...but I do not say that one must have church to have a relationship with God...Peace!

tremere: There are two aspects of the church under the New Covenant in Christ. The scripture refers to the church which is his body and the local church which is generally referred to as the church of God. In 1 Cor.12 we read about the church which is his body. In verse 13 "For by one Spirit we are baptised into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have all made to drink of that one Spirit" Each person who has trusted Christ is baptised by the Holy Spirit into the one body. As we find between verses 14-26 the church which is his body is made up of many members with Christ as the head. The members are unique in their place and are equal regardless of their place. In verse 27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular" This spiritual church is made up of all believers from Pentecost onwards. There are no counterfeits in this church. Under the New Covenant Christ has entered into the holiest of all, "into heaven" to appear in the presence of God for us. He is our great high Priest and Mediator. As members in the church which is his body we have access into the very presence of God through the precious blood of Christ. The local aspect refers to professing believers who are "called out" ( this means church) to the Name of Christ alone. The members of this church are from a particular geographical location. Within this church there is failure and even those who profess to be Christs' and are not. Peace in his Name Robert |

okay, but it doesn't say anywhere that we have to go to church, right? I don't have any problem with church I just don't think one has to have church to believe, worship or have relationship with God...I think the spiritual church is the most important. Some people in the world probably don't have a church to go to...so they are still accounted as Christians if they believe, right? Peace, tremere (Sister) |
