DID JESUS CHRIST TEACH HIS DECIPLES TO GO A BUILD A CHURCH?
NO, HIS FIRST WORDS WERE REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. READ MATTHEW CHAPTER 4. THEN HE SAID TO THE FIRST TWO BROTHERS, SIMON CALLED PETER AND ANDREW, (FOLLOW ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN). THEY IMMEDIATELY LEFT THEIR NETS AND BEGAN TO FOLLOW HIM. HE ALSO CALLED TWO OTHERS, JAMES AND JOHN. THEY IMMEDIATELY LEFT THEIR SHIP AND THEIR FATHER, AND FOLLOWED JESUS. JESUS WENT ALL OVER, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASES AND TORMENTS, AND THOSE WHO WERE POSSESSED WITH DEVILS, AND THOSE WHO WERE INSANE, AND THOSE THAT HAD THE PALSY, AND MANY OTHERS FOLLOWED HIM. MATTHEW CHAPTERS 5, 6 AND 7 STATES THAT JESUS BEGAN TO TEACH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE. WHAT JESUS TAUGHT IS HOW TO OVERCOME ALL TESTS SO THAT WE CAN ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN , AND THE FIRST TEACHING IS TO REPENT. MATHEW CHAPTER 10 STATES THAT JESUS CALLS HIS TWELVE DECIPLES AND GAVE THEM POWER AGAINST ALL UNCLEAN SPIRITS, TO CAST THEM OUT, AND TO HEAL ALL MANNER OF SICKESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE. JESUS TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO. JESUS TOLD THEM TO HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST OUT DEVILS, FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE. JESUS TOLD THEM TO PROVIDE NEITHER GOLD, NOR SILVER, NOR BRASS IN THEIR
THE BODIES OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN-AGAIN IS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AND THAT BODY BECOMES THE TEMPLE OF GOD . JESUS SAID THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN LIES WITHIN, NOT WITH OBSERVATION. JESUS BECOMES THE HIGH PRIEST TO THE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER. JEREMIAH'S 31/31 PROPHETIC MESSAGE WAS FULFILLED IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 8. THE BODIES OF THE BORN-AGAIN HOLY SPIRIT FILLED BELIEVER NOW BECOMES THE CHURCH ( TEMPLE ) OF JESUS CHRIST (THE WORD). ACCORDING 1 JOHN CHAPTER 2, THE ANOINTING WHICH WE HAVE RECEIVED OF HIM ABIDES IN US (THE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER), AND WE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH US' BUT AS THE SAME ANOINTING TEACHES US OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH AND IS NO LIE, AND EVEN AS IT HAS TAUGHT YOU, YOU SHALL ABIDE IN HIM.
JESUS IS THE WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE. NO ONE GETS TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM. HE SENT HIS SPIRIT TO GIVE US ALL THE HELP WE NEED TO OBEY HIS WORD.
Shalom to all my friends

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Hi Marcia, Good job on putting all these passages together. It's a good reminder that the building is not the church. I am a little confused regarding your title. What are you saying exactly? We are told to gather together in the name of Jesus and not to forsake the assembling of ourselves with other believers. Thanks for your help. Shalom, TeresaHello TeresaThank you for responding to this article. I am sorry that I could not get back to you sooner. I was out of the country and unable to access a link to go online.In response to your question. Yes we must assemble ourselves together, especially as we see the day approaching. (the day of testing). We can assemble in twos or a multitude to support each other and keep each other accountable to His Word, and that is what is important. The assembling is to study His Word and do as He says. The following chapters and verses are the instructions that Jesus left His disciples:-Matthew chapter 28/18-20 (Mark chapter 16/15-20 ) (Luke chapter 24/46-52).I read in Exodus chapter 21/23-26, God gave Moses His instructions for building a temple, and told him if he lifted a tool upon in he will pullute it. He also told Moses that he should not put steps to go up that his nakedness be discovered. Nowadays, I see an altar in every church with steps that a man or woman go up to preach to the people. I also see carvings and tools were used to make these altars. What I see is that even if they were told to make an altar (which Jesus NEVER instructed anyone to do), they are in disobedience to God's command to Moses. Is this not anti-christ and rebellion to the laws and commands of a Holy God? Also the book of Hebrews tells me that Jesus Christ made a way into the Holy of Holies for everyone who comes to Him. The bodies of the born-again believer is now the temple of the Holy Spirit so there is not longer a need for a physical building, which God says He does not dwell in. The book of 1 John chapter 2/27-29 tells me that the Holy Spirit will teach the born-again believer all things and we need not that any man teach us.I pray that I have answered your question to your understanding.Shalom to you my friend.Teresa, I forgot to tell you that my title is a "sister" to all born again brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. NO! I am NOT a Catholic Nun, LOL!
Hellow fellow brethren. am pleased to meet yu, in fact what yu wrote sister Marcia is the true revelation am here standing or preaching that. Becoz God told the children of Jacob that they should hav one place of worship, yet there were more than ten provinces in the promisland. I mean Jesus our Lord said if two or three are meet in my Name, i am there. so that means Jesus knew that we would meet, but not in our Names shall he join our meetings. so how do we check if all the denominations on earth or the ministries people are meeting for the Name of Jesus or any ruler of that church; first of all Jesus only joins the meeting not sombodies christian organization. for he said to his deciples You are the CITY BUILD ON THE MOUNTAIN. Therefore if someone accept Jesus to rule his life he or she should seek the pure milk like baby so that he or she might grow with it, and taste that the Lord good. then living that milk or elementery teaching about Christ, he should draw nearer to the Living Stone that he might be built as a living stone, that would build the Spiritual Temple. yu kno there is much tu say but i wish i knew yu before my brethrens. plz yu still on this page i so wish we can chat live or communicate more becoze i never thot somone knows this somtimes people think am crazy when i teach about this. thakx a lot Jesus be with yu and his Revelations flow over yu through the communion of his Spirit.
