Subject: Do altars belong in christian churches? |
Bible Note: John The altar at a church is a place where we can give to God that which we desire to be rid of. I know that we don't really need a place to lay down that thing which we hold dearer than our Lord. We can give to Him whatever is coming between us and God anywhere. But the altar is a symbol much like water baptism, of a place where we can offer up that which holds us down. If a platform called an altar is needed for my brother to lay down pornograghy then build a lots of platforms. I do not believe that believers go to an altar in a church to make a sacrifice to God. It is a place where we partake of the sacrifice God has given for us. Jeff |
