Bible Question:
I would appreciate some feedback to this question. And, I am asking you NOT to identify your denomination. How important is your specific church in your personal relationship with Jesus? Scale: 1 preferred, but not really 'needed' 10 extremely important - must have Comments are optional, but I would appreciate as many responses as people are willing to share. Thank you |
Bible Answer: I Greek You in The Name Of Jesus Christ This happen to be one of my favor subjects "The Church." The word church comes from a greek word "ecclesia" which means "Assembly" or a congregation of "called out ones" IT IS NOT THE KINGDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So to quickly answer the question I feel my church on a scale from 1-10 is a Big "10" One reason is because of the fellowship with God and his people. Notice I give reference to God's people "The Body of Christ" because that is the Church not the BUILDING. When the Rapture comes and go the BUILDING will still be here. Now to answer the second part of your question "How important is my church in my personal relationship with Jesus" I think that's a very difficult question to answer for anybody. Here's Why: We as Christian have the Church (building) mixup with who we are in Christ (relationship). Question: Have You Ever Seen People Having Sex in Church? Have You Ever Seen People Smoking in Church? The answer to these two question is NO I'm sure, yet from a man's point of few He will remove his HAT before he walks inside the church House!!!! Why because this is GOD'S HOUSE WERE HE DWELLS God refers to us as "The Body of Christ" created in his Image. So if we are The Body of Christ created in his own Image why can't we respect our selfs as God's people like we respect the BUILDING. My point is We are God's people (Christian) and we focus on the building more so than on our personal relationship with Him and We are the Church not the Building...
