And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. According to all that I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it...And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain.
And of course, only PERFECT males were allowed inside. God doesn't want to see blind or crippled or disfigured humans.
Leviticus 21: 16-23
16 The LORD said to Moses, 17 “Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.
There is no command to build a dedicated church building. That is something 'religious' people do.
Emphasis mine.
Apparently, Drippy, you don't even bother to read your own bible. You just spout denial all over the place whenever someone says something negative about that stupid holy book. Perhaps you need to study Exodus. Particulary the part that Dr. Fuzzy mentions where it specifically states gawds instructions for building a sanctuary.
And in case you wanted to play semantics with words, a sanctuary IS the same place as a church, ie, a place to worship an imaginary sky daddy.
