Re: "that God may be everything..." to each one of us.

I understand that corporate worship has SOCIAL value (unity of the body, fellowship), but it is only philosophical that it should have any spiritual value regarding our dedication and devotion to God. It has no bearing on our Godly behavior and treatment of other people during the week (that can only come our heart and mind). Whether we are just or unjust to other people (fairness) should be a matter of conscience, not a matter of the book, institutional guidelines/policy (church politics) or any adherence/devotion to group rules. There should be no partisanship in our devotion to The Lord...

"WE" (His BODY) ARE "one with" The Lord (we should choose to be). We should therefore be VERY careful not to afflict (wish to impose shame, guilt, humiliation, or intimidation upon) and "imprison" each other (such as "suggesting" that someone is deserving of PUNISHMENT, and worse yet,...a PENALTY). This very polite and cowardly way of ACCUSING each other (remember who our ACCUSER is?,...SATAN!!!, we should not imitate him) is a very grave offense to The Lord and HIS BODY.

What's more, in order to do this "accusing", it becomes necessary to badmouth/defame The Lord as a PUNISHER (the brethren should not feel comfortable doing this). Institutional Christianity ignores alot of the EXPLICIT teachings of our Heavenly Father (such as 1 John 4:18, "...for fear has to do with PUNISHMENT"). God is not a "punisher". With the right attitude (LOVE), we should want CORRECTION "IF" The Lord decides that there is no other way that we will learn the error of our way (at the time, we may be too pigheaded/stubborn to learn, or we're at a certain point in our life where we need to learn to be happy/love ourselves so that we can love others AS we love ourselves). IF and when The Lord decides that there is a NEED for any of us to learn any "error" of our ways, we should WANT The Lord's GENTLE [and it will be gentle] touch
. The Lord has no use for the rebellious and will likely IGNORE them) touch and wisdom.

This behavior of SUGGESTING/accusing each other is the way of SATAN, not the way of God (it is disgusting, abhorrent and repulsive). It is the BLOODTHIRSTY way of a predator, the way of "THE destroyer" (Abaddon, satan).

There is philosphical, theoretical, and social value in "CORPORATE", but "God is ONE" already, Galatians 3:20 (another thing that institutional Christianity has conveniently "overlooked" in scripture, there are many) and there is no need for us to "improve" on God with "corporate".

There is a tremendous lack of dedication in society to OBJECTIVE "TRUTH" (John 14:6) today (there always was, but never so much as today,...Da Vinci Code, and other esoteric "PSEUDO" wisdoms). Sure we can appreciate the continuous falling and exposure of the televangelist con artists (time is short). Many brethren have become accustomed to following "hirelings" (John 10:13) in church institutions and comfortably join these con artists in their disrespect of humanity by accusing each other.

Romans 2:3 says...
"Do you suppose, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?".

The church institutions do serve a purpose as gathering places (one of the places that corporate worship can be done, ministry supplies can be stored there, etc.), but they serve no role or determination of our PERSONAL relationship to The Lord.

It's time to draw a hard line.

The pharisees also were comfortable making accusations against people concerning "sabbath", it's not a good habit to do anything the pharisees did.

The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.

That there is a devil there is no doubt, but is he within us or is he without?

That there is a God there is no doubt, but have we let Him live within us, or have we decide to treat Him as an outside influence/master?
