"sacred" spaces - just musing

Holy crap are you serious? ROFLOL You don't know the bible represents OT Judaism and NT Christianity, yet your going to preach to me on how things work???? This should be fun.

First: Old Testament Judaism is one religion that you have to be blood born into, and then keep all of the laws.

New Testament Christianity is the exact opposite. One can not be born into NT Christianity and it's primary principle revolves around freedom from 'The Law.'

Quote: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,
Again I stick by what I said because OT Jews did not worship at a Church nor ever were called to worship in a church setting.
Never once.
The worshiped at a tabernacle (which was a tent with a very specific layout) a Temple (1 of only 3 ever built)
but these were not for common people to come and have a weekly service. they were a 6 day aweek priest hub of activity.

much later came Local had synagogues, but again weekly services were not held. they were simply meeting places jews went to congregate on occasion, pray and celebrate their Holy days. but again not a church and not a temple nor a tabernacle as they did not follow the lay out you are so keen on.

Quote: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: 
Indeed that's why I've taken the time to school you on the differences between OT Judaism and NT Christianity.
rather than just make fun of you. (i'm doing both Big Grin )

Quote: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?
.... Dodgy

So no. A 'religion' is a method of worship. Judaism, Christianity and Islam claim to worship the same God. the three could not be more different if they tried. Again for the very slow In the world now there are 3 major religions and 1 God they all claim to worship.

Quote: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. 
Actually genus it does matter. God commanded The OT Jews to build such a structure. He did not command Christians to follow suit. Christians had a different model and again that was meeting in people's houses, or even in public venues on a daily or sometimes weekly basis on the first day of the week (Sunday) rather than the Sabbath which was Saturday.

Quote:The command is still being given by a god. Why are you making an issue out of which god said it? 
Because again, what was said to the OT Jews does not apply to NT Christianity or we'd be OT Jews.

Quote:Oh, and FYI - the Abrahamic god is still the same god that Christians follow today.
very good, you want a cookie?
Again, what makes a Jew a Jew and not a christian is the religion/laws the OT Jew had to follow that the Christian does not. Included in those laws are your instructions on how to build a tabernacle or temple.

Quote:Christians still read verses from the OT in church.
So? We also read from the Koran when studying Islam and from book of Mormon when studying mormons.

Quote: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.
cute.. Your like a guy who heard someone once describe how to fly a plane, who is trying to teach a certified pilot with 25K hours of actual flight time how to fly... Based off what you heard, maybe once.
