Bible Question:
What is the true function of the church from a biblical perspective? By "church" I mean the place (usually a building) where we regularly meet. Is there a difference between how the church functions if one is refering to the body of Christ or if one is refering to the meeting place? What Scriptures explain why we all show up at the same time and on the same day as other believers to do the things we do? And since I'm on the subject, what IS it we do and WHY do we do it? Eagerly awaiting your answers, along with supporting chapter and verse. In Christ, Karen (Mrs Doc) |
Bible Answer: I largely view church buildings as more of a modern age thing, insofar as the early church moreso met in houses. A mere secularization in my estimation. The members of the early church from Acts 2:45 did not so much meet in a building, but rather sold all of their possessions and lived together communally. Of course, we tend to be so departed from this concept today, that we would likely label it as a heretical cult, if anyone actually attempted to practice it today. |
