It looks to me that you are putting in a lot of effort trying to justify not obeying God word and adding your own opinion which is not God’s word. Your response misrepresents both what was said and what Scripture teaches. Nowhere have I seen anyone who claimed that going to a church building is...

I agree. Many religious groups today claim to represent Christ, yet openly support evil, whether that’s the shedding of innocent blood through abortion (Proverbs 6:17), or the endorsement of violence and injustice under a false theological banner (Isaiah 5:20). Yet these same groups often demand...

According to Scripture alone, giving is a principle that flows from a heart transformed by the gospel, not from a legalistic or location-based requirement. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity, for God loveth...

The passage you quoted, Ephesians 2:19–22, is indeed powerful, but it is being misunderstood if it is being used to argue that salvation is about a physical building. The context clearly shows that Paul is speaking spiritually, not literally. He is not referring to a church building made of...

You're right, Matthew 18:20 clearly states, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” That affirms that Christ’s presence is not limited to a building, denomination, or institution. What matters is gathering in His name, meaning under His...

I want to clarify that I never said, nor implied, “You don't look clean enough for me.” That kind of judgmental attitude is exactly what I experienced as a teenager in a church where the so-called leadership looked down on me. It was hurtful and unbiblical, and it nearly turned me away from the...

According to Scripture, elders and bishops are not tied to church buildings or formal institutions, but to the local body of believers, wherever they meet. In the New Testament, the words "elder" (Greek: presbuteros) and "bishop" or "overseer" (Greek: episkopos) are used interchangeably to...

I agree. Consistency in fellowship can be a very good thing, but only if that fellowship is grounded in the truth of God's Word and a shared faith in the real Jesus Christ of Scripture. The Bible teaches that true unity and meaningful relationships among believers are built on truth, not just...

You said that pointing at a church and saying "they do ___ wrong" is no different than Adam blame-shifting to Eve. That comparison falls apart under Scripture. Adam shifted blame to avoid personal responsibility for his own sin. But when someone exposes error in a church based on Scripture, that...

So, how are you going to go about doing that?

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” — Luke 6:46

I’ve noticed a lot of people are taught that once you join a local church, you’re expected to stay there long-term, even made to feel guilty if you visit other groups or fellowships. But I’m not finding that in Scripture. The early church met in houses (Romans 16:5, Colossians 4:15), from house...

Hebrews 10:25 commands believers not to forsake assembling together, but it does not say this must happen in a church building. The focus is on the gathering of believers for mutual encouragement, worship, and exhortation as the return of Christ approaches. In the New Testament, believers often...

That doesn’t carry much weight coming from you, since you consistently misread Scripture and twist what it says. If you're trying to get a response out of me, you'll have to do better than that.

Yes, I said you were defending the Pharisees, not because you openly claimed them, but because your words and attitude reflect the same resistance to truth they showed. If you talk like them and react like them when Scripture corrects you, then don’t be surprised when someone points it out. And...

Hey, I hear what you’re saying, and I agree, no church is perfect. We’re all flawed people growing in Christ, and we do need grace with one another. But let me ask you this, what should we do when the “bad” isn’t just personal shortcomings, but actual teachings that go against what’s written in...

Just so I know, where does it say in the bible where God said this, "He has required me to fellowship, with a community that has a building"

You clearly didn’t read what I actually wrote, or you’re deliberately twisting it. Nowhere did I say the unjust would be saved, what I pointed out, and what Scripture clearly teaches, is that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust, just like Paul said in Acts 24:15. That’s...

Mary, the issue is not about whose “truth” is right, it’s about what God’s Word actually says. Truth doesn’t change based on denominations, church fathers, or popular opinion. Jesus said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). The Bible is not open to private...

You're right that the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost to indwell believers and that we now worship in Spirit and in truth, but that doesn’t cancel the comparison Jesus made with the Pharisees. Their issue wasn’t a lack of spiritual access, it was rebellion and pride. And here’s the key point...
