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.
apparently sport you do can not fathom the simple idea that the bible represents more than one religion. Otherwise you'd know that because their are no more OT Jews, all that you quoted and embolden are meaningless.
Seriously, do you not understand that a Christian is not an OT Jew?
Apparently, sport, you are doing what you always do. Twist words, move goal posts and use word salad to suit your own agenda. I quoted you directly, according to your own words and now you want to say the bible represents more than one religion.
So, instead of sticking to what was originally said and what I bolded to refute your claim that god didn't direct anyone to build a church, you're now going to switch up things. Sorry, that isn't how it works, sport. You stated and I'll quote it again just so there's no room for error here:
Quote:There is no command to build a dedicated church building. That is something 'religious' people do.
Let's see, according to your most recent claim, the bible represents more than one religion. If that is true, then there would be more than one god, correct? Either way, that still doesn't have anything to do with what the bible directly states about (a) god commanding that a sanctuary be built, with specific instructions, right down to the furniture.
The command is still being given by a god. Why are you making an issue out of which god said it?
Oh, and FYI - the Abrahamic god is still the same god that Christians follow today. Christians still read verses from the OT in church. That has nothing to do with anything, but since you were intent on relocating your goal posts, I figured I'd toss it out there for you.
Back on topic now.
