Religion / Re: Can The Religious Status Quo Can Produce The Perfect Church? by 143papa(f): 2:37pm On Mar 03, 2007
It highly depends what you mean by the words "perfect church". from my own understanding of it I see that a perfect church is one where God and only Him is adored, glorified, magnified etc. it is one where each soul comes to church to receive and have communion with Christ in the presence of other fellow Christians, like for example how children come together at break or at lunch to eat, they spend less time talking to each other and more time concentrating on their food. this is how its meant to be especially during the service. outside the service people can bond and talk as they want, as long as they know that they have come and received from God as they left home desiring. after church is the time for communion with friends, meeting and loving each other as a family (of believers) is meant to do. But as well as that a perfect church is one where the word is not compromised, where when the word is released, everybody in that sanctuary receives light from it as it is based upon the word of God and the revelation given by God alone. it should be a church without sincretism- this is with no joint affirmation with the world, one where the world does not determine the word on the pulpit, one where the word of God is released as it is meant to be, an awakener, like a two edged sword piercing the innermost of each soul. it should be a church that will produce pure word-fire brands that have been baptised by the Holy Ghost and by fire and that know the word of God with God revelation. although these and many other things matter the most important is that, God be the drive of that church, that He alone be the one in control this therefore means that the church should dwell in God presence always without doubt, in the Holy of Holies, in the place of continual communion with the Holy One. It should be a church in love with the beautiful three- God,Son,and Holy Spirit. Hence based on this I do not believe that the religious status quo will get us anywhere, not even close to a perfect church.
