Subject: Is thea a difference btwn a church,temple n synagog |
Bible Note: Hi jily Church 1) A building as we use the word today. - - Christian Religion 2) New Testament times to the present - - the people. 3) Jesus was not talking about a building. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Temple 1) A building Old Testiment times and today. - - Jewish Religion 2) The building in Jerusalem built by Solomon as per the plans given to David by God for the dwelling place of His Glory. I personally believe that to be the Holy Spirit. 2Ch 6:2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 3) New Testament times to the present - - the people. 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Synagogue 1) A building as we use the word today. - - Jewish Religion 2) The people - - the worshipers Psa 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. While it is true these three words are descriptive of specific buildings which are used by different religions for their worship of God they are also descriptive of the people of God themselves. lightedsteps |
