What do you consider the difference between a church n a temple especially now a days there are what I consider temples all over the place n a new one popping up constantly

(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
 
It depends upon how the words are being used.

In a general sense, a Temple refers to a building where believers of a like mind or religion congregate. Mormons and Jews like to use this term.

The word Church, on the other hand, is generally used by Protestant Evangelicals to mean the Body of Christ, or the group of people that have organized themselves into a local community of believers. These typically meet in a Church Building, but quite often the word building is dropped out of conversation.

Hope that helps.

Temples are the living bodies of death used as messengers to bring the living will of another not seen. addressed as Apostles the ones with the beatiful feet shod with the gospel of peace

First demonstrated in the wilderness as a ceremonial sign to wonder after to the as sounding pagan nations and their godless foundation ."Out of sight out of mind: God not seen calls fools

One demonstration as a sign to wonder after to the unbelieving nation to another nation 40 years It was not a sign unto their own dying selves.(sign seekers)

The believers had prophecy till the end of time. Not led by signs to wonder after Jesus called them the evil generation (un-redeemed)

In wonderment many were drawn into sola scriptura. When the 40 years came to an end, they had received the temporal land represented as eternal. The ceremonies (shadows)were no longer needed to cause a wonderment. The gospel seed was planted.

1 Samuael 8.. The Atheist Jew became Jealous of al the surrounding pagan nations they refused to serve an invisible King of kings .God gave then over to do evil until the time of first reformation. (Hebrew 9) Sola Scriptura the blueprint for all reformations

In the new order there will be no temple no need for apostles' beautiful feet

Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
;And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Synagogue is a building of Hebrew worship . As a temple made with humans hands, , a abomination of desolation.

Our Invisible God does not live in temples made with dying hands.

In that way it does not prevent believers from gathering together under one roof when they do it as is ceremonial sign or a shadow to the unbelieving world in a hope of drawing the into the living word .Believers have prophecy till the end of time no need to wonder after signs

One new cerinimoinal law as a shadow that points ahead 1 Corinthians 11

A good example not to perform the cerinimoinal shadows in respect to the performers and not a sign to the unbelievers is when Aarons two sons joined the priesthood of believers

They added to the word with their own perisomal touch called strange fire .

The fire consumed them not a hint of smoke on the the priestly attire .

Some are called to demonstrate the gospel to the world under one roof. Others sent out into the world .

I haven't seen a church in many years.. see a lot of synagogues of satan popping up all over..
Last church I had been too was in Phoenix Arizona.. I so miss them..the people there where like a family..I been searching for another true Church for the last 13 yrs haven't found One..The places around me their pastors lead them into sinful ways instead of the Lord n it' sadden me n fills me with sorrow when I see n hear them blind leaders lead their people into darkness..

I say to my husband all the time how can this be??how can they not see what is happening to them.. yet it's all written what will be n what is..still boggles me tho..

The kingdom of God works from inside a believer. Not by sight. Not the historical but the spiritual unseen.

The parable must be mixed. The things seen temporal historical with the unseen eternal or no gospel rest.

Christ has given us the interpretation tool needed to rightly divide the parables which without Christ spoke not . .even once

It should be at the forefront of any study

2 Corinthians 4:18;While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are Eternal

Don't think it really matters whether a place of worship is called a church or a temple as people are so particular about things these days. What matters is who do they worship. Do they worship Jesus as Lord and savior or is it some other character.

I argue the same point when it comes to the churches in general. The point is is that do they follow the core belief that everyone else believes or do they have something new and different.

What I'm trying to say is that everyone who is a child of God follows a core set of beliefs. Jesus is God, Jesus is the son of God, Jesus became human, a man, and lived Among Us. Jesus died on the cross, for the Forgiveness of sins. Jesus rose from the dead. And ascended into heaven. Jesus opens his heart for all of us to be with him. We need to be baptized. We need to seek God's forgiveness. We need to receive Jesus as our Lord and savior.

I would say that virtually everyone here believes these core beliefs.

The problem that we have as the children of God, is that we argue with each other constantly. We don't look at each other as brothers and sisters are the same father. We always think that we're right and they're wrong. And this is where the problem lies with everybody.

The fact is simply this, if you love God and love your brothers and sisters then I will see you in heaven. You must forgive each other, you must accept each other. You may not understand the Catholics the Catholics may not understand you you may not understand the Baptist you may not understand the Pentecostals you may not understand all these other groups, I really don't care. You have to forgive and you have to be forgiven. And this is even for those who feel they have nothing to forgive you still have to. Because if you do not accept your brothers and sisters just because there's some other faith, then you are needing to take the log out of your own eye before you take the stick out of your brothers and sisters eye
 
You have to forgive and you have to be forgiven.
You may wish to put this at the top of your list. (Curious as to why it hadn't been included.)

It's the collateral damage of Martin Luther. (Making salvation dependent upon who is RIGHT.)

Hey, if you're wrong, maybe you're not saved....

You remind me of the 3rd and 4th centuries where all these Bishops ran around excommunicating one another.

.... good times....

That is funny. I'm sure there's all sorts of crazy experiences that people went through in this church

I believe words are very important it's why so many are confused so many see a building n call it a church all's it really is a dead building made by man.. the church of God the Living God is His people n his people don't need to go to a building to worship Him it is a life style it's the way of Life for one.. for it is written..

But the hour cometh n now is when the True worshippers will worship the Father in Truth n Spirit..


Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the way of sinner nor sits in the seats of the scornful but his delight is in the Law of the n does meditate on it days n night he shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water that brings forth fruit in his season.

N let's not forget about Big brother Jude n how he warns us of all the evil men that crept into unawares..

We r told we will know His children by their fruit..

If I go to a building because I want to be around believers n I walk into what looks like a movie theater a concert hall I can see what their fruits are..any one can live in a mirage He tells us mine is a house of prayers..if I see no table for the Lord set if they do not break bread together like we r told if they r more concerned about politics n worldly issues over the salvation of their soul I find that troubling in my spirit n I must leave n I do not return..

we r told not to burden our brothers n sisters n we r told the Holy Spirit can Not be bought or Sold..I find it horrible for anyone to take a dime to tell other about the Lord that there shows me the character of the person but juda tells us about the men that crept in..

Many made the Word of God a profitable world value to get what one wants in a worldly sense why discernment is a must in these times frfr..

Welp hope all's well with you n yours as for me I need to go nap been spending my nights just talking n listening to the Lord.

Yes sola scriptura all thing written in the law and prophets proves God is righteous . It did its work during the first century reformation the 15th a carbon copy.

Uh Oh... I misspoke. (That's what happens when I don't proofread...and am in a hurry.)
:scream:
I had said:

I ought to have written
THIS reminds me of the ... Bishops excommunicating one another.
OR...
I am reminded of...
I hadn't meant "you" personally.
Sorry... (gettin' old)

I'm sure there's all sorts of crazy experiences that people went through in this church
You realize this was endemic throughout the entirety of the Catholic church in the 300's.

Kind regards,
Rhema
 
You could always start one.... (really).
Ya like be another Joyce Myers? Lol that's one wicked woman she tried reaching out to me yrs ago..
As it is written
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

I have church just about on a daily basis with whom ever the Lord send our way..

I don't need a building made by man
nor do I like concerts n movie theaters which is what most of these man made buildings have become..

It is written we r all brothers n sisters one can go to a building on a weekly basis get gussied up but unless they love each other like they r brothers n sisters it's all in vain

It's written you will know them by their fruitS

Many are stuck in n on the flesh as it is written

And he will become a sanctuary and as stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.

Them buildings "churches" keep people spiritually immature n that what he who roams the earth wants..

An immature tree can not produce any fruit..

Many like making a profit off of the Word guess He being nailed to the cross wasn't sufficient enough for them..

You really have one wicked spirit of condemnation.


Well then ya got what you deserve, right?

According to your faith, so be it.
Nope called discernment called seeing their fruits called not being blind smh like I told you @Rhema I can tell you have learned the secrets of Satan n you enveloped yourself in them.. but I see your arrogance your pride your words show your fruit..

Fyi like I told ya before I just ignore you your so prideful n ignorant that it does no good conversing with you only the Lord can take them scales off your eyes.. but hey you know everything because you been taught by man .
Sure hope you grow closer the Lord n allow Him to teach n reveal to ya instead staying in the teachings n the traditions of man..

(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
 
I told you @Rhema I can tell you have learned the secrets of Satan
Indeed, right there is an example of your accusatory spirit of condemnation. One doesn't need secret "discernment powers", one can see it all in your posts. The hatred is just seething.

You give no gentle words of correction, and there are no teachings of edification in your posts. I have never read any helpful encouraging post from you. Again, I'm just looking at the language you use when you post. You may not see it, but it's full of bitterness against everyone.

All I did was suggest that you start a "church" since you hate all the other ones you ever visit.

I have been in cathedrals, the generic 1800's Protestant "castles", the movie theater churches, as well as home churches. And I've found heartfelt disciples of Jesus in everyone of them.

Since you dislike EVERYTHING (because of course YOU have the utmost perfect special "discernment") then at least start a home church. Are there any members here that you "discern" to be saved or follow Christ? Or is everyone here from Satan?

From what I've read, though, life has put you through the grinder, so I can understand your bitterness and hatred for all things Christian, but just don't fool yourself.

Go do something positive instead of belittling everything else. Go post something useful instead of accusing everyone of being from Satan.

But since your personal identity seems completely entwined with condemning everyone else, I don't think you'll ever get your spirit clean. (I hope I'm wrong.)

God bless,
(Having tried, I'm done here.)

Right there. This shows you're clueless, dear. You don't know me and your "discernment" is noise.

I don't wanna know you @Rhema I wouldn't trust you as far as I'd be able to throw you you can talk a talk all you want but like I said your fruits are pride n arrogance your so busy knowing everything that you have no room to be taught by The Spirit of the Lord.. too busy leaning on your own understanding too busy believing you above n must teach the peasants.. you don't get it not even the most simplest things ya think the Word need you.. how arrogant n prideful is that? The Spirit of the Lord needs you @Rhema to translate for Him if that ain't a kicker idk what is..


Like I said hope you grow closer to the Lord n grow less in yourself..

Heartfelt disciples which disciples ? Ones that add to sola scriptura with what are called gospels of dying men ..Like the gospel of faithless Thomas or Enoch ?

It would seem you are promoting Roman mythology in disguise. . . . trying to destroy the one Shepard as the one author of living words .written in two tablets .written on both sides with no room for the gospel of faithless Thomas

One gospel, one Christ, the husband of Christians. Named by the Holy Father in Acts.

Ecclesiastes 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
