Buildings dedicated to Christian worship first appeared about the middle of the third century.Etymology of the word ecclesia (church) is assembly. Remember, during is life time people assembled around Christ. Those who assembled around Christ during his life, continued to assemble after the crucifixion. At some point Christians began to build places for these assemblies, i.e. churches.According to Christian theology, Christ began building his church after his crucifixion.
Yes. I am merely pointing out the word "Church" did not exist in the time of Christ. Jesus most likely used the Aramaic word which signified an assembly that worships God. A more accurate translation might be, "I will assemble the people to worship God."Buildings dedicated to Christian worship first appeared about the middle of the third century.
John the Baptist had disciples, too. Maybe the church started with him. Ecclesia is not just an assembly; it's an assembly of those called out.
The kingdom of God arrived during Christ's ministry, which he declared repeatedly in the present tense. In that ministry, he said "I will build my church" (future simple tense).
Jobs for illegals!Talk about a blood sport......................JC this would be great way for states to increase revenues and wipe out the troubles in life....lol
That is because the god of this world, your god, Satan is who brought illness, sickness, death, war, famine and pestilence in to this world.I am sure it is yet God has proven he has no cures for those that attend church in mass and get sick and die, nor does he bear the cost of the illness that the pandemic has created.But we ARE instructed to meet with each other. Yes, you CAN be a Christian in isolation, but it's a whole lot better to be in a group.One does not need a church to have a relationship with God.
haha, another "I got confused somewhere along the way and now think not getting special treatment is oppression" whinefest by religious folks.
Fences go up around church in Canada; officials declare it shut down 'until [church] can demonstrate the ability to comply' with COVID-19Â mandates | Blaze Media
The pastor's attorney called the action 'draconian and aggressive' and said the government just 'wants to push its weight around'www.theblaze.com
The early church history was meeting in secret at the homes of Christians. This was done due to the persecution that came their way, as Christians were routinely thrown to the lions.
But today it seems we are returning to this level of persecution, so perhaps Christians need to begin meeting in secret again.
As for Canada, as churches are closed down by the state, they either meet in secret now illegally or give up their right to fellowship with each other.
The choice is theirs.

gays are the ones who think they are offensive...nobody else gives a fuck what they do with their anusWhen did Christ set up the church and tell everyone being gay is the worst offense known to humans? Christ had a ministry that traveled.Why did Christ set up the church?One does not need a church to have a relationship with God.
liberals hate choice...if you choose to go to church, or choose own a gun, or choose to watch fox they will hate your guts forever...they hate choiceMatthew 16:18 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.When did Christ set up the church and tell everyone being gay is the worst offense known to humans? Christ had a ministry that traveled.Why did Christ set up the church?One does not need a church to have a relationship with God.
I'd say it's safe to say we can add Moonglow to the list of what won't overcome the church.

A church is a building with no spirit, the Bible speaks of the church as the body of its members.Matthew 16:18 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.When did Christ set up the church and tell everyone being gay is the worst offense known to humans?

Easy now...I side with Conservatives, I vote with Conservatives BUT they are the most nutless, spinless, big mouth pieces of shit that ever were. Come on man...they didn’t have the balls to keep heterosexual white Christians cool in a nation founded, built, run and funded by heterosexual white Christians. The Left has owned their sackless asses for decades....Sad but true.
