>> So, you have a scripture someplace that says the Court of the Gentiles in the Temple does not exist?<<

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”.

>> The Bible says were to praise God with everything imaginable, including musical instruments, which would include an organ.<<

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.

>> Do you use musical instruments in your 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.

They save it for their 'church dance night' in their church building and hire a band. Maybe even have $door prizes and crown someone the 'best dancer'. There is no telling what else 'man' will do in these 'worldly church buildings' - maybe even have a 'decoration committee', 'menu committee' - you just never know as the world has so much to offer man.
