Yes, agree, but many people speak of church buildings. Tour a church for example.
When we hear ' tour a church ' we don't think of ekklesia as touring the congregation.- Philemon 1:1-2; Romans16:5
When he hear ' going to the chapel ' we don't think of going to the assembly or congregation but...
"The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you" [Exodus 31:12-13]. Here the Sabbath is clearly...
Pentecost always fell on a Sunday:
"Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with...
The apostles only went from house to house to lodge with other Christians in various towns or those who were receptive to the message concerning Jesus Christ, who then invited them to lodge. They did not go from door to door of strangers as the Watchtower instructs it members to do and takes...

And what is the truth? Whatever some random people in 1800's America decided it was? Why would God wait nearly two thousand years to re-establish the Truth? Why would He let the true Faith...
Your assumptions about what I said and what I mean are all wrong.You are entitled to your own opinion, even if it is incorrect.As far as the holy scriptures are concerned,many do not even have a clue as to what it really says, or means.Many do not study thoroughly.

Colossians 4:15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
It should...
Going back to my OP. The Church does not teach to worship statues. Please show me what they have in their bible exodus 20 and catecism is wrong and/or give me scripture or doc that reflect your view that they worship statues.
Show me in King James that exodus in the catholic bible is wrong.
That's the thing many do not understand.People think you have to listen to the "Church." This is an incorrect view and unbiblical.First of all...people think church means a building.It really means the people.Followers of Christ.
1 Corinthians 16:19 The churches in the province of Asia send you...
