Bible Question: Are there any Scriptures in the Bible that say that can you or you can't do outside business in the church?

Bible Answer: There are no texts that I can find that explicitly answer your question, however, the Bible on a whole assumes that you will be interacting with those outside the community of believers.

Israel was placed at the crossroads of the ancient world to be a light for the nations. We are to be a light of the world. It is difficult to do this when we are not doing business with the world.

I may have misunderstood your question. If so, please clarify.

If you mean, "Can we do secular business inside the local church building?" Then this is a separate question which deserves a separate answer.
