CHURCH

Cheat House Usually Reserved for Charlatans and Hoes.

Ah!

jesusjnr2020:
Jesus doesn't care about all the magnificent edifices church leaders were busy building these days as He will never dwell in them.

He only dwells in the hearts of His people.

So our priority ought to be building and preparing the hearts of the people so it will be a befitting dwelling place for the Lord.

God bless

is it this heart on my chest?

How you wan take convince Naija pastors like this when every church has a building project.

Antichristian2:
Ah!

Abi na. Pastors are Charlatans
Women who open their kpekus for pastors and choir masters are Hoes.

Ah!

The building is the temple .... the people gathered to worship in the temple are the church. We use church to refer to the people and building ... so what? ...is it a sin? Indomie is a company .... noodles is a food made by the company. Have you ever eaten Indomie with eggs? Really?

Roman Catholic Church always want to take credit that they started Christianity... Or I don 4get dat specific word dey used

Absolutely

CodeTemplar:
and in you mind na human be church. You be mumumu(mumu with munni and jara)

you're one of those who go to a meeting without knowing it's purpose. You can be easily inducted into a cult

Church Is Not The Building. It's The People!

Matthew 18:20 (KJV)

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

So wherever people gather in Jesus' name, Jesus will be there, because His church is not a building but the people.

God bless.

But nigerian pastors prefer to invest in buildings than factories that will create employment

So human being no be church? Lol🤣🤣🤣

U be real oponu

Without a building, church will still exist through the members but without members there is no church... Learn

Illiterate

I thought it was Asgard.

Yeah, it is the naked people

CodeTemplar:
Goat talk. The people, under right conditions, are the body of Christ and the church building is the closest thing to a 'church' because that's where the gathering of the church body takes place most.
By now this cyber fraud parading as a preacher should have had a vibrant youtube channel or website to promote his building-less church model he so much uses to hate on others .

What is the Greek word for "church" and does it refer to a building or people?

God bless you too. This as always been my problem with the African pastors/charlatans. Build the ppl. Even Jesus didn't ve a building he built. Neither did he's apostles. They gathered in each other's house and shared love till non of them lacked.

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus clearly states that those who serve people in need (the hungry, the prisoner, the stranger) will enter his Kingdom

I'm so sorry
I don't mean to arrogant but you are very wrong and he's very correct

The bible passage he cited in Matthew does not do justice to what he said. However he's very correct
In some Paul's letters, you will hear him greeting the Church that meet at someone's house, showing that church is people
Paul discussed this further when he said that church is the body of Christ and we are members of it. hallelujah

Kennitrust:

Yes God doesn't care about magnificent buildings, however Church is not heart

Church is more like family
A group of people bound by one belief and purpose

Good morning dear
Please I'm not being arrogant but you are wrong
Temple is where God lives and temple is individual,bible said that you are the temple of God

God no longer lives in buildings but in human body
Group of human bodies where God lives is the Church

Didn't Jesus chase out the gamblers and whoever that were in the temple?

...to propagate hate against churches an twll peoplw to embrace faceless apostles of shrines.

Just laugh at them, they are children of the Devil,
Muslims don’t come here online and say nonsense about their mosque, no Muslims wish they should eradicate their worship center
But all these agents of the devil posing as Christian always looking for how to pull down Christ work because of jealousy
Before Tithe was theirs headache
Now they are against going to church or building a befitting house for God
Next they will say Bible is a scam
One of them said yesterday that his own fashion of Jesus Christ is Palestinian and speaks Arabic
And some of these idiots even said there is no God
Let the children of perdition continue, non of their blasphemy moves us
The gate of hell cannot prevail against the church

But today these pulpit bandits compete amongst themselves who owns the largest church building.

but this heart already occupied by blood vessels na

Where can God stay in it

CodeTemplar:
Yes but Jesus cares about the sheeps gathering under one roof in His name and the bigger that roof, the more souls can be reached out to per time. I am sure you prefer only two views or replies to this thread than 1000 replies and views because, off course, Nairaland is not the church, the people are. Nonsense.

Totally wrong please read your bible

APOPTOSIS:
GOD doesn't dwell in churches
But Nigerian churches have made it look like they have God inside their churches

Exactly
Like it's even only inside their own "church" that God is
And not in any other "church"

Sirmwill:
Exactly
Like it's even only inside their own "church" that God is
And not in any other "church"

So where does God dwell?

This is what we teach in church today

Exactly

The Church (ecclesia) is an organised group of Baptised believers who meet in a place. The "Church " is a spiritual building made up of it's people!

Truthseeker10:
So where does God dwell?

That's a funny question

Thus says the LORD: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? (Isa 66: 1)
21. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them." 22. Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, "Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?" 23. Jesus replied, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. (John 14: 21-23)
I hope you have found the truth now

Mention one place where God or Jesus said this
