Is Christ the head and His body ‘the church?’ “GOD DOES NOT DWELL IN TEMPLES [OR CHURCHES] MADE BY HANDS!” (Isa. 66:1-2; Acts 7:44-50; 17:24.)

————————————————
“GOD, WHO MADE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT,” SAYS HE “DOES NOT DWELL IN TEMPLES [or churches] MADE WITH [human] HANDS…” (Acts 17:24.) BUT CHURCH CLERGIES SAY, “CHRIST IS ‘THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH;’ THIS IS “CHRIST CHURCH.” AND ‘THE CHURCH IS OUR MOTHER; OUTSIDE HER THERE IS NO SALVATION.’ THIS IS 'MOTHER CHURCH.'” SO THE BODY OF CHRIST IS ‘THE CHURCH;’ CALLED CHRIST-IANS OR “LITTLE CHRISTS.” And no, this is not merely Roman Catholic dogma. The entire ‘Christian world’ was born from “the church” in the latter part of 1 A.D., (Acts 11:26.) To this day all her Christian and other denominations or DIVISIONS remain attached to her norms, forms, and dogmas in some way or another, to form “the church,” (Rev. 17:1-15.) So, Paul asked, “Is Jesus Christ DIVIDED? Were [clergies] crucified for you? Where you baptized in the name of [church?]” Repent from ‘church’ and believe, follow, and live in God’s Word!” (1 Cor. 1:12-13.) ILLUSTRATION: ► Search Results [is Christ the Head of the church?] Featured snippet from the web. “…The church is the Body of Christ, the People of God, and the Bride of Christ. Christ is the head of the church (Eph. 1:10; 4:15) and Christians are the body. “People of God” is another image of the church.” [What Is the Church? - Focus on the Family.] But their quoted verses in this declaration actually read in the KJV, “God made known to us... that in the [N.T.] dispensation… He will gather together all things in CHRIST, [not the church;] both what is in heaven and in Christ. [How can a manmade temple where “GOD DOES NOT DWELL” contain what is in heaven and in Jesus Christ?] …MAY WE GROW UP IN HIM [not church dogma,] WHO IS THE HEAD - CHRIST: FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY, [not 'the church,'] FITLY JOINS TOGETHER…” ► Where clergies did not already push their “God and His body are the church” dogma into Scripture, they abuse God’s Word to support their allegations as illustrated above. Yet, Paul warned, “…IF ANYONE DEFILES THE [real] TEMPLE OF GOD, GOD WILL DESTROY HIM. FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE [all true believers ] ARE,” (1 Cor. 3:16-17; Jn. 3:1-18!) THE O.T. TABERNACLE VERSUS THE O.T. TEMPLE. The Hebrews were under the Theocracy of God their King until they wanted a human king to equal the political pomp of Gentile nations,” (1 Sam. 8:4-22.) When they insisted, God told Samuel, “[Make them a king,] FOR THEY HAVE NOT REJECTED YOU, BUT ME, THAT I SHOULD NOT REIGN OVER THEM.” ► GOD COMMANDED SAMUEL, “GO ASK DAVID: CAN YOU BUILD A HOUSE FOR ME TO DWELL IN? ...HAVE I EVER SPOKEN A WORD TO ANYONE SAYING, WHY HAVE YOU NOT BUILT ME A HOUSE?” 1 Kings 8:27 affirms, “…NOT EVEN HEAVEN CAN CONTAIN [God,] HOW MUCH LESS THIS TEMPLE!” God confirmed in both O.T. Isaiah 66:1-2 and N.T. Acts 7:48, “…‘HEAVEN IS MY THRONE AND EARTH IS MY FOOTSTOOL, WHAT HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?” ► Since God wanted nothing to do with temples or churches, He added, “…ON THIS I WILL LOOK: ON HIM WHO IS POOR AND OF A HUMBLE SPIRIT, AND WHO TREMBLES AT MY WORD!’” (Isa. 66:2.) Still, David was so persistent, God allowed his son Solomon to build the temple. But God NEVER intended that this physical, O.T. temple and the material things pertaining to it, should be moved to a literal, MANMADE, CHURCH TEMPLE during Jesus’ N.T. Covenant!
THE O.T. TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED, NEVER TO BE BUILT AGAIN. Before going to the cross, the Lord Jesus prophesied, “DESTROY THIS [literal] TEMPLE, AND IN THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS, [by rising from the grave,] I WILL RAISE IT UP [as the spiritual N.T. temple.]” This One and Only N.T. temple, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is the Only Body of Christ, (Jn. 2:19-22; 1:12-13; 3:3-6! 1 Cor. 3:16-17!) ► After describing the symbolical, sacramental workings of the O.T. temple, which Jesus fulfilled and then annulled at the cross, Hebrews 9:8-12 testify, “THE HOLY SPIRIT PROPHESIED THIS, THAT THE WAY INTO THE HOLIEST OF ALL, [God's direct presence,} WAS NOT YET MADE MANIFEST WHILE THE OLD TEMPLE WAS STILL STANDING. [Under the O.T. covenant before the cross,] IT WAS [merely] SYMBOLIC… [until] CHRIST CAME AS HIGH PRIEST OF THE [N.T. Covenant,] AND [erected] THE PERFECT TABERNACLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, WHICH IS NOT OF THIS CREATION. [This is the spiritual temple of the Holy Spirit that is inside all true believers: His authentic believing disciples, the Body and Bride of Christ.] ...Christ did not accomplish that through [O.T. animal sacrifice but] WITH HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED THE MOST HOLY PLACE ONCE FOR ALL; HAVING OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION [for all true, N.T. Covenant believers in Him,]” (HERE TOO, NO CHURCH IS IN SIGHT ANYWHERE! Mt. 5:17-20! Heb. 10:14; 1 Cor. 6:15-20!)
THE LEVITICAL TEMPLE PRIESTS WHO CRUCIFIED THEIR CHRIST. God said in Malachi 2:1-16, “THIS COMMANDMENT IS FOR YOU, O PRIESTS. Because you [disobey Me] I cursed your blessings… The lips of a priest must keep knowledge [of My Word…] But you departed from The Way, corrupted My Covenant, and caused many to stumble [at My True Word.”] Also, “I Am Witness [of your adultery] and hate you divorcing your wives to get pagan [harlots;] covering your garments with violence. [Where there is violence in a home there is adultery.]” Mal. 3:1-18, “WILL A MAN ROB GOD? [The priests, NOT N.T. Covenant believers, stole the O.T. tithes and offerings!] You [priests] are ‘[also] cursed with [another] curse!]” (see Gal. 3:10-18.) ► In Matthew 21:12, The Lord Jesus got so fed up with the cheating and greediness of the priests, He literally chased their trading out of the temple. In John 8:44, He called them ‘Satanists,’ saying, “Why do you not understand what I say…? It’s because you are of your father the devil… whose will you want to do.” And in Mark 7:6-13 He warned them, “You hypocrites… In vain you worship God; rejecting His commandments to hold to the commandments and traditions of men, and many such things you do! …YOU MAKE THE WORD OF GOD OF NO EFFECT [for the people] THROUGH YOUR TRADITION [and false dogma!]”
THE LORD JESUS WARNED, "TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.” Genuine believers must know, time to repent from deceptions to fill our “lamps with enough oil” or Real Truth, is running out! (Mt. 25:1-13!) That is why The Lord continued so seriously, “[The main sign of the end times is deception.] TAKE HEED WHAT… AND HOW YOU HEAR! …WHEN I RETURN, WILL I EVEN FIND [true] FAITH ON EARTH?” (Mt. 24:3-14; 7:13-14; Lu. 18:8.) Here is what generations of clergies from all denominations do to grow church memberships: 2 Peter 2:1-3, “There were [many] false [teachers] among [the Hebrews;] JUST AS THERE ARE [many] FALSE TEACHERS [in ‘the church,’] WHO SECRETLY BRING IN DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES, [options,] TO EVEN DENY CHRIST [Himself, His full atonement, and His True Word.] They bring destruction on themselves [and on their church members…]” CURRENTLY, THIS MAKES FOR SOME 2.38 BILLION DECEIVED CHRISTIANS WORLDWIDE! ► There was no church in sight before the cross and Pentecost, and until the latter part of 1 A.D. when the first Judaist/Roman Catholic church and Christianity were established at Antioch, (Acts 11:26.) But since then, church clergies replaced much of God’s N.T. Word with ‘the church.’ For example, the Lord Jesus supposedly said to Peter, “ON YOU I WILL BUILD ‘MY CHURCH’ AND HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST ['the church' - which is ridiculous!] I GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM...” The Lord certainly did NOT refer to the mother church and her many denominations, but to His real body of believers; the actual temple of the Holy Spirit, (1 Cor. 17.) And He did not make Peter a “gate keeper to heaven;” deciding to unlock for those he will allow, (Rev. 17:3-18.) The ‘keys’ are Jesus' Gospel and teachings, which ‘unlock’ eternal life for those who seek His True Word to obey and glorify Him, (Mt. 16:18-19.) ► Crafty clergies also use the illustration of God’s spiritual, N.T. building to justify the church building as ‘the body of Christ,’ (1 Cor. 3:10-11.) ‘Paul’ supposedly wrote, “We are God’s fellow workers; you are His building. [‘The church’ is not in the picture! This is the unique temple of the Holy Spirit; consisting of ALL loyal believers globally: see 1 Cor. 3:16-17!] …As a WISE MASTER BUILDER I laid the foundation, and others build on it…” Paul would not promote himself like that. Instead, he declared, “I AM THE LEAST OF ALL THE SAINTS, [for instigating the Jews to persecute and murder the first believers; The Followers of The Way,] YET GOD GAVE ME THE GRACE TO PREACH…” (Eph. 3:8; Acts 9:1-3 KJV.)
“…THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH [N.T. believes in Christ;] NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT I MADE WITH [the Hebrews] IN [O.T.] DAYS. […They] did not continue in My covenant [but crucified the Christ.] So I discarded them… THIS IS THE [N.T.] COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH [the spiritual nation of ALL N.T. believers from ALL nations: Jn. 3:16-18; 1 Pt. 2:9-10!] I will put My [Moral Law] in their minds, write it on their hearts, and they will be My [blood-cleansed, Holy Spirit filled] people, [NOT the ‘church!’]” As seen, in ALL God’s interactions with people, ‘church’ is nowhere to be found. All true believers must be in a RELATIONSHIP with GOD. Full stop. ►► “THAT HAPPENED IN THE O.T. BECAME N.T. EXAMPLES AND WARNINGS TO [Jesus’ N.T. believers.]” 1 Cor. 10:6-11, “[The O.T. now only shows how] we must NOT lust after evil things as they lusted and so became idolaters… [Thus,] it was written for our admonition.” As everything else, the apocalyptic prophesies of the O.T. and symbolism like in the Revelation Book, must confirm God’s N.T. Truth and the teachings of Jesus Christ to apply to our lives in Him, (Heb. 1:1-2; 1 Ths. 5:21-22!) If not, even if it is written in the Bible it cannot be God’s Truth, as clergies had their dirty hands in all distortions of His Word! The Lord Jesus said, “They worship God in vain; teaching the commandments of men [and church tradition!]”(Mt. 15:8-10.)
"REFER SYMBOLICALLY" TO GOD AND THE BODY OF CHRIST AS ‘THE CHURCH?’ We find some illustrative symbolism in the N.T., but neither God, the Body of Christ, nor ‘the church’ can be symbolic like the O.T. temple was. THE N.T. COVENANT AND GOSPEL TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST FORM THE UTTER FULFILMENT AND REALIZATION OF EVERY RELIGIOUS THING AND ACT IN THE O.T., (Jn. 19:28-30! Heb. 8:4-13; 9:8-12!) ► Hebrews 9:9-12; 8:5 clarify, “[O.T. sacrifices and other literal things, as well as the temple itself] were “SYMBOLIC… THEY WERE COPIES OR SHADOWS OF THE HEAVENLY THINGS THAT WERE TO COME [at the cross, where Jesus established His eternal N.T. Covenant with all true believers globally.] The O.T. temple and ALL the other symbols of that era, only had power while they pointed to “THE LAMB OF GOD WHO [would come to] TAKE AWAY THE SIN OF THE WHOLE [sincerely believing] WORLD!” (Jn. 1:29.) [No church anywhere here!] ► Hebrews 10:14 and Colossians 2:9-10 certify, “BY ONE OFFERING HE [spiritually] PERFECTED THOSE WHO ARE [constantly] BEING SANCTIFIED,” through the renewal of their minds by seeking and understanding the knowledge of God to obey His will, (Rom. 12:1-2!) Again, NO CHURCH here! It's all one-on-one with God! ► “[Yet, the church impose O.T., ousted ‘saving’ or sacramental rites, objects, and works on God’s believers.] BUT LET THEM NOT JUDGE YOU [for NOT keeping to ritualistic] FOOD, DRINK, FESTIVALS, NEW MOONS, OR SABBATHS. [It was] SYMBOLIC OF [what was FULFILLED and ANNULLED at the cross,] TO BE THE SUBSTANCE [reality] OF CHRIST,” (Mt. 5:17-20; Col. 2:16-17.) ► It is dangerous to attach symbolism to the façade of “the church” to overlook satanic agendas behind it! The entire literal church building and system is unscriptural, AS GOD DOES NOT DWELL THERE, (Acts 7:44-10.) So, “the church” cannot be a symbol of what WAS to come in the O.T., what Jesus DID at the cross, the TRUTH of His Word, or what IS to come. The manmade “church” cannot stand as a tangible symbolic object, or as anything spiritual under Jesus’ eternal N.T. Covenant. ► As Jesus perfected every detail of the O.T. sacramental temple law, the inward Moral Law, and everything physical that pertained to the O.T., there is absolutely NO place for any kind of N.T. 'symbolical' worship. (E.g., clinging to a literal cross that has 'power' to save, and so on, (Jn. 19:28-30!) ► The Lord gave only three N.T. ‘symbols’ that show towards something significant. The wine and bread of The Lord's Supper; the baptism of true disciples that constitutes the burial of the “old man of sin” and the resurrection of the “new creation in Christ;” and the anointing with ordinary oil that symbolizes Holy-Spirit power in Divine healing, (Lu. 22:19-20; Col. 2: 9-15; see Jam. 5:14-18.)
CLERGIES SPIRITUALIZE CHURCH BUILDINGS AND MATERIALIZE GOD AND THE BODY OF CHRIST AS ‘THE CHURCH’, (Heb. 8:10; see Eph. 4:22-23!) Again:“God does NOT dwell in temples made by hands! ” ( Col. 1:18 KJV -Acts 17:24-25) Yet, clerical blending of the Two different Covenants of the Bible attempts to turn the literal church into a 'spiritual shrine where god dwells;' while materializing Christ and His Body, (the spiritual temple of the Holy Spirit,) AS 'the literal church.' (Christ Church.) ► They can do this to people because "the natural man, [not truly spiritually born again in Christ,] does NOT receive the spiritual things of God, [Jn. 1:12-13.] It is foolishness to him [as] he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned," (1 Cor. 2:14!) Jesus commanded in John 3:3-6, “UNLESS [your human spirit] IS BORN AGAIN [through faith in and acceptance of Me,] YOU CANNOT SEE [understand] OR ENTER [the Spiritual] KINGDOM OF GOD. WHAT IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; [a building of stone and cement can NOT BECOME human or spiritual.] WHAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT… [Spiritually born again believers cannot become stone and cement,]” (Jn. 1:12-13; 8:12; 31-32! 18:36!) 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 detail, “[Literalism such as buildings; even] FLESH AND BLOOD, CANNOT INHERIT THE [spiritual] KINGDOM OF GOD…” ► Just as “the church” cannot pertain ‘symbolically’ to anything, turning God and His spiritual body into a literal building and vise versa, cannot be 'symbolic.' What's more, so-called ‘holy shires’ as well as evil buildings, do not exist. A building is a building... The spiritual atmosphere in buildings is termed by the people who use it for whatever purpose. A ‘good’ or ‘haunted’ place is not the building itself, but what people did and do there, (see Hab. 2:11.) ► It is different with the peace and presence of the Almighty God, Who cannot be impressed by outward religious pomp and splendor. He looks at the heart, soul, and life of every individual person. Hence, only the personally reborn, human spirits of true believer follower/disciples of Christ, can be the Body and Bride of Christ, who will go to heaven. “It is appointed for men to die once and after that the judgment. Christ was offered once to bear the sins of all [genuine believers.] FOR THOSE WHO LOOK FOR HIM APART FROM SIN HE WILL RETURN…” Everyone is standing one-on-one with the God of heaven and earth; NOT with “the church!” (Heb. 9:27; Mt. 25:1-13!)
► This is the true, N.T. Covenant priesthood of the High Priest Melchizedek, “[Church clergies] STUMBLE, BEING DISOBEDIENT… But [the true Body of Christ] ARE A CHOSEN, [spiritual, N.T.] GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, HIS HOLY NATION AND OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, TO PROCLAIM THE [truth] OF Him, Who called them OUT of darkness INTO His marvelous Light [through their personal, spiritual rebirth in Christ!]” (1 Pt. 2:8-10! Jn. 1:12-13; 3:3-6 KJV.) ► According to God’s “All Truth,” it is ALSO IMPOSSIBLE THAT HE WOULD HAVE AUTHORIZED THE MATERIAL, N.T. REPLICA of the O.T. TEMPLE and its Levitical priesthood in the form of the church system of numerous Christian divisions, (Jn. 16:8-15; Heb. 7:11-19! Acts 7:44-50!) ► From the beginning at Antioch, (Acts 11:26,) and especially during medieval times, “the church” operated as murdering crusaders and inhumane inquisitors; proving they are more corrupt than the ousted priests of the O.T. temple were, (Acts 11:26; Jn. 8:44; Mal. Ch. 2 & 3!) “The church” never confessed and repented. Their hands are still full of blood! And so are the hands of 'her' church members as they share in 'her' sins! (Rom. 1:32 KJV; Rev. 18:4!) ► Despite all these Scriptural and literal facts, Christian clergies and their church members cling to church materialism to ignore the fact that GOD LOOKS TO THE TRUTH, SINCERITY, COMMITMENT, AND FAITHFULNESS OF HIS REAL BELIEVERS, (the “Followers of The Way;” the disciples of Jesus Christ Himself through all generations.) Empty church glamor and sensationalism definitely do not impress God at all, (Acts 9:1-2; Isa. 66:2; Mt. 25:1-13!!) ► This proves “the church” is indeed an unscriptural building; “used as an enterprise,” where its clergies do not only follow, boast, and model its corrupt outward façade, but also teach lies to practice occultism and immorality, in order to demean God and His Word, and to derail His sincere believers from His Truth, (Jam. 4:4 KJV!)
WHAT GOD’S WORD SAYS ABOUT “THE CHURCH SYSTEM.” No matter to which of the many church denominations one refers, only a few people understand that “the church” attempts to REPLACE the True God of Bible Scripture and His Body, (the Holy-Spirit temple of genuine believers,) with “christ church," "mother church,” and christ-ians or ‘little christs;’ the body of ‘the church!” ► But this is how Revelation 17:1,5-6, KJV, describe “the church.” “[I saw] THE GREAT WHORE, [or a shrine filled with spiritual “adulterers and adulteresses… who are in enmity with God,” James 4:4.] Her name is MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE [church] MOTHER OF [church] HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS. [She is] DRUNK WITH THE BLOOD OF THE [true] SAINTS AND THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS OF JESUS. ► Hebrews 11:36-40 describe and prophesy centuries of Christian crusades and inquisitions by both Catholic and Protestant church fathers John Calvin, Martin Luther, and so on. "She sits on many waters, [Ch. 17:15; 18:15: people from all walks of life,] and on the merchants of the earth, who were made rich by her; while she fornicates with the kings of the earth.” Religion and politics have always been in cahoots – ‘king and priest;’ president and pastor.’
THE ETERNAL, SPIRITUAL TABERNACLE OF GOD. The Lord Jesus Christ unquestioningly demolished the O.T. temple when He died on the cross. And when He rose from the grave, He created His ever-living, spiritual tabernacle: the Body of Christ; the Holy-Spirit indwelt temple, which could NOT be “made by human hands,” (Acts 17:24!) The perfect Holy-Spirit indwelt, N.T. temple, the Body of Christ, is also the eternal, spiritual “TABERNACLE OF GOD; [the bride of Christ who goes to heaven at the midnight cry, Mt. 25:1-13!] FOR BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE IS [among] MEN, [since the Holy Spirit indwelt His N.T. temple at Pentecost.] THEY ARE HIS PEOPLE AND GOD HIMSELF WILL BE [IN AND] WITH THEM [forever,]” (Rev. 21:3-4!) ►►God has never and will never command that the literal O.T. temple must be rebuild, restored, or brought into His eternal, spiritual N.T. Covenant in any form – especially not in the form of the Christian prostitute; the lying, money-making harlot of Babylon! (Rev. 17:4-6; 18:4-13.) However, acting on their own accord without even slightly heeding the Truth of Scripture, temple history, and above all God’s will; old as well as modern, literal Israel and the N.T. CHURCH SYSTEM, remain firmly focused on tangible kings to rule them and demonic gods that indwell their corrupt shrines. ► When Stephen, God’s first N.T. martyr, addressed this most great issue, the temple priests stoned him to death. But not before he said exactly what God declared from the beginning when David wanted a temple resembling pagan ‘houses for their gods;’ rejecting God’s tabernacle - the O.T. SYMBOL of His N.T. Covenant, legitimate believers. ► Stephen cried, “...YOU STIFF-NECKED UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART AND EARS, YOU ALWAYS RESIST THE HOLY SPIRIT! (Acts 7:51-60.) The same disobedient, self-willed spirit still rules Judaist Jews and the entire Christian church system. ► Revelation 18:4 cannot be ignored any longer. God commanded, “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, [all sincere believers in Christ, who remain addicted to the false church system,] LEST YOU SHARE IN HER SINS AND RECEIVE OF HER PLAGUES.” 2 Corinthians 6:11-18 confirm, “...For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness…? What accord has Christ with Belial? ...What agreement has THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, [the real Body of Christ,] WITH IDOLS? FOR YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD… ‘COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE. DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU. I WILL BE YOUR FATHER AND YOU WILL BE MY CHILDREN,’ SAYS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.” |
