I am so glad you're not going to stop short of the mark. Originally church was where the Ark was housed, and God literally stayed in the Temple. That is why they were told to bring a 10th of everything to Malchesidek and others, so they wouldn't be starved, naked, and without the slightest human comforts. Why? Because they were supposed to spend all of their time with God in complete prayer and personal fellowship. And when they failed, remember what was supposed to happen--they were to drag the dead body out by the sash. Serious stuff indeed. And of course we all know this is no longer ancient Isreal in 1500 b.c. or earlier. But just keep looking. I maintain to the death that the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ cannot turn anyone off in the slightest. He is without the ability to turn us off. Good clue to look for along the way to finding where He does hang out.

<< We are all sinners (i.e., "bad people"). Human nature is to be bad. >> Human beings are created to be evil. I guess it wouldn't have been as much fun, if human beings were created to be good, instead? << Jesus' purpose on earth was to pay for our sins. >> Thank God! Too many evil people would've had to suffer the consequences for their acts! << He loved and forgave the prostitutes, murderers, and the worst sinners around. >> It all makes sense to me. Create humankind as evil beings, with all kinds of defects, instead of good, healthy beings, and then reward them for their wickedness, if they ask Him to forgive them. I really don't think that there could've been a more perfect scheme to use to create this world. I always marvel at the perfect design and praise God for it! Regards, Bob
