The CHURCH (outer temple) hung on the cross.EDITED

dreamr,

No doubt, Jesus would prefer that we have high regard for what He did on the cross.

His Father would also.

"in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). Jesus was speaking of the temple of His body.

If Christianity took notice of what Jesus did on the cross, we would have been taught about the 'water and the sword'. I'm not talking about a glass of water that Paul drank or some water that spilled when Jesus ate the last supper. I'm not talking about any mention of water that is only found in scripture as a result of intensive scrutiny and research, I'm talking about water that was AT THE CROSS and flowed out of CHRIST'S BODY.

God foreknew that, true to form, humanity might not notice this water. He tried to make it more obvious...

1 John 5:6
"This is he who came by water and blood" (John 7:38, Acts 1:5, Rev. 7:16, Ephes. 4:5).

...but many people simply don't want to make a clear division (as a sword would) between GOOD/EVIL (the tree in the Garden) and have a Godly nature/spirit. That is why humanity has never really had the tendency to notice the LIVING water that flowed from Christ's side. That is why humanity has never noticed the true word of God ("sword of the SPIRIT", Ephesians 6:17). We are supposed to know God in SPIRIT and truth.

We are taught that the introductory doctrine of Jesus (Hebrews 6:1) is "THE FINAL AUTHORITY", but Jesus said...
Matthew 28:18
"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me..." (we read it as a "whole verse" and miss the truth we need to understand).

The "word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 1:13, John 14:6) tells us that we should live under the law of liberty (James 1:25 and 2:12) and that the bible is only good for TRAINING in righteous self discipline, etc. and that after we learn the introductory doctrine, we should mature in our RELATIONSHIP with God so we can "enter by the door" (John 10:1) and "walk by the SPIRIT" (Galatians 5:16, 25).

When two or more are gathered in Jesus's name, He is there ALSO, but even when we are alone, He is (should be) IN US.
1 Corinthians 3:16
"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?"

1 Corinthians 6:19
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within"


I'm not a spiritual teacher, there should not be any spiritual teachers, "anointing" will teach everything (1 John 2:27).


"God is ONE" (Galatians 3:20).
Colossians 2:9
"For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily".

You're not supposed to "GO TO" church (no public prayer), our temple should be the place of constant worship by our behavior/demeanor. We're not supposed to worship with our lips or "flatter" God with our patronizing or gestures. Our complaint/prayers that His grace is not sufficient ("Gimmeee, Gimmee, Gimmee") for us are not really the attitude that God would prefer.


Now, He will "POUR" out His spirit on ALL FLESH.
