What is a catholic church?

[arunangelo]

A catholic church is not only a place of worship but also a place in which the perfect and eternal sacrifice of Jesus is offered. Furthermore, in its tabernacle, Jesus, who is God, dwells. It is therefore the holy of holies, the house God and the earthly presence Heaven. Therefore, we must genuflect before the tabernacle upon entering the church, maintain silence in the church at all time and wear clothing that are respectful.

From scriptures I've learned and experience regularly that it is on the cross where the perfect and eternal sacrifice of Jesus is offered.
Not in a building made with hands. Not in a denomination.

From scriptures I've learned that my body is the tabernacle/temple of the living God, who has Come and dwells within me.
Not in a building made with hands. Not in a denomination.

Within me dwells Christ Jesus in my purified Holy of Holy's within the innermost self of me as I am the Temple of the Living God dwelling in His Heavenly Presence.
Not in a building made with hands. Not in a denomination.

I bow my knee to Jesus Christ my Lord and my God dwelling in the Temple of my body. I am not bound my men's traditions of silence or attire.
I am free in Christ.

I praise His Name and He is Pleased

Jesus, my Lord and my God!

Well said!
God is not restrained in a church building.He dwells inside those who have opened the door to Him and accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

John 14:23
"Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

Revelation 3:20
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

John 15:5
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

1 Corinthians 3:16-17
"Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

Those buildings built by men of wood and stone and mortar, etc. where we sometimes meet in His name are very nice and convenient, but without the two or three gathered there in His name the man-made structures are nothing at all!
