I had to break this into three (not two) posts to get it to format in sections...Post 2 follows:

I’m going to quote a whole segment of your last post: “You can’t be Christian without acknowledging the sanctity of a church and its’ grounds. A church is where God dwells. Jesus showed that and said that. Better check out the New Testiment again.”

Sorry, the New Testament teaches that the ecclesia, or “church,” is not a building, but a body of people — those who have come to faith in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. They can meet in houses, synagogues, catacombs, or the marketplace...it makes no difference.

To say you have to “acknowledge the sanctity of a church and its grounds” to be a Christian is sheer nonsense. Sorry if this offends you, but you can’t just arbitrarily add your own personal requirements for salvation, requirements which the New Testament makes very clear.

You missed His point. I pointed out before, Jesus demonstrated that the House of God, aka temple was important and sanctified when he drove out the moneychangers and animal sellers. By your view, Tiller's murder should have been horrid because it happen in the midst of believers. Don't bother taking issue with this, because I know you can't understand this. Sorry if this offends you, but you can’t just arbitrarily add your own personal requirements for salvation, requirements which the New Testament makes very clear. I never add anything. I am not easily offended as you may think. But you do keep pushing. Well, I'm not going for it. You just have to critically think about my points above.
