Congratulations Rainy Day, mankind's moneychanger empire has not impressed your heart of hearts.

The "strong delusion" has been in effect all throughout history because mankind rather love the bible (churchgoers want intellectual superiority and status of being "SCHOLARS") instead of loving God only, but also because pastors, scholars, etc. make their living off of BUILDING ATTENDANCE and money.

Jesus built the new temple (outer) in His own body in the three days from crucifixion to resurrection...
John 2:19
"three days" verse 21 "He was speaking of the temple of HIS body".

We each are the INNER temple...
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 you, which you have from God?".

There is to be no public prayer and we are not to worship vocally (with "lips"), but are to "worship/pray" (practice our own devotion) in private (in our "closet") and "HEAR" (John 10:27) when God replies so we can "enter by the door" (John 10:1). God does not want to be patronized or flattered ("Oh Lord, you are so good", etc.) and is not an ICON (that we "salute" and "march to" a certain way). The Lord tells us that the insincere are "partisan" (James 2:1, like a club/organization, etc.) and make GESTURES of holy behavior putting on PERSONALITIES of being holy. "God is no respecter of..." PERSONALITIES, He only has regard for a person's true nature/spirit (only expressed this way in the KJV, Acts 10:34).

God has always seen your heart (AND mind, Romans 12:2) and taught you to see how shallow man's moneychanger empire is (because you love HIM and His ways of "good and right and true"). God will teach you what you need to know when He has decided that you should know (according to His timing, don't fret, wisdom is on a need to know basis). Don't take your eyes off of Him, develop eyes to see and ears to hear (strive to know more, "depths of God" 1 Corin. 2:10) and REST "IN" Jesus.

I'm 54 and was a "BAD" Christian for 21 years (because the moneychanger empire did not satisfy my heart). I never had a good record of "church" building attendance, but 2 years ago, I simply GAVE UP trying to know God by going to buildings/institutions (I became "clay to the potter") and let God be my only spiritual teacher. I feel safe in saying that humility is not a problem with those who "walk by the SPIRIT" (Galatians 5:16), but, in some cases, God will give a "thorn" when necessary (2 Corin. 12:7), and remember, humility is the requirement of wisdom.

Read my other posts and you will get a better idea of how much we have been taught wrong because mankind has always had the bias of maintaining a "moneychanger" empire (but also because churchgoers want to glorify themselves as intellectual "scholars").

The brethren that are "IN" Christ did not hang on the cross (they are only our KINFOLK in Christ) and should not get any special treatment (partiality)...

James 2:1

"My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory".

...and should recieve the same as the brethren of humanity (our fellow human being) and should find The Lord's graciousness sufficient for them.


The particular version of scripture you use can be very important (many modern versions have been watered down for marketing purposes and made politically correct). I use the RSV (Revised Standard Version) and find it the most true/accurate/explanatory.


Read my other posts and you will see how far we have been misled from God's truth.
