So, you have a scripture someplace that says the Court of the Gentiles in the Temple does not exist?
And you think Jesus didn’t mean it when He cleansed the Temple and said, “My House shall be called a House of Prayer for the NATIONS (Gentiles), but you have made it a den of thieves!”?
I actually think that you are a little group and it might fit in a house, and I think a bigger group needs a big group sized building.
The Bible says were to praise God with everything imaginable, including musical instruments, which would include an organ.
Do you use musical instruments in your worship?
No doubt but it's simply a matter of convenience, not a requirement.The Bible says were to praise God with everything imaginable, including musical instruments, which would include an organ. Do you use musical instruments in your worship?
But it doesn't HAVE to include an organ. There's no Scripture that demands that music MUST be made with musical instruments.
On the contrary....
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
What does it matter of a group doesn't use instruments?
From what I read of church in the the Book of Acts, I am not sure that they're recognize what we do on Sundays here in America as church.
I have never said there were no larger gatherings. What I have said it doesn’t need to be large gatherings. The attitude here seems to be that unless one is “affiliated” with some organized religion set up by man that it’s somehow not part of the church. The “church” is not an “organized religion” as people now seem to think. It’s all of the believers whether they are affiliated with some organized group or “where two or three are gathered in my name”. This attitude of “my church is better than your church” has got to go. Christ’s body, the church, is anywhere “two or three are gathered”.

Did I say anything was wrong with that? My point was that the “cookie cutter” image that most people have is not necessarily what happens everywhere and every time. When a group of Christians meet in Haiti, South America, Africa, or anywhere else in the world there are many different types of music used in worship.

LOL Is it required? Do people dance in your church like Daniel danced?
2 Samuel 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
