Re: The CHURCH (outer temple) hung on the cross.EDITED
dreamr,
Wordy, sophisticated replies come from the "PHARISEE" types that have no regard for real/OBJECTIVE truth (so be glad you're not one of them).
God had Pilate ask Jesus "What is TRUTH?" (Pilate was referring to the fact that humanity has little concern about what is really true, humanity prefers SUBJECTIVE truth instead of OBJECTIVE/unbiased truth).
Pilate wasn't a philosopher (but nobody seems to notice it as a strange question) and the question wasn't answered either (still, nobody notices), but "TRUTH" is extremely important to God....
2 Thessalonians 2:10
"because they refused to love the [objective] truth AND SO BE SAVED".
So be encouraged that you don't have the mind of a fast talking intellectualist devoid of genuine humility.
Romans 12:2
"be transformed by the renewal of your MIND".
I'm not saying that Christians cannot meet together and "share" understanding/learning, I'm saying that sincere "worship" should only be "INNER" (your personal worship should not be with "lips"/public prayer). A home gathering should not be an assembly specifically for "worship" (gathering in His name to celebrate growing in Him is different than "worship"). The way YOU worship The Lord should be PERSONAL about His grace TO YOU.
Amos 5:21
"I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies".
Share and celebrate (not "solemn", not "offerings" of "works", etc.).
