The goal will NOT be to see how few can band together!


Of course not. Neither should you seek large numbers or any number for that matter, that is the point. Yet you continue to argue with God that two or three are not sufficient.

So what is a church then? Your discussion has emphasized structure and organization. That is all you have presented. We like structure because we can control it, we understand it. We find comfort in it.

Now when God takes that structure away what is left?

You want to know God, Let him take you out to the wilderness where it is just you and Him.

The church is those who God has given to Jesus. It is those who have a relationship with God. His body is all his chosen ones through time and space, He has always uses individuals not institutions................

I have pastors, teachers and elders throughout the ages that God has given me.

Now, you have criticized and judged someone here telling him his church of family and friends is not right. Yet God has put him exactly where he needs to be.

You need to go to the corner and think.

“Yet you continue to argue with God that two or three are not sufficient.”

I’m not arguing with God. I’m QUOTING Him. 2 or 3 is NOT the church described again and again in the New Testament.

“You want to know God, Let him take you out to the wilderness where it is just you and Him.”

Not biblical. You wouldn’t throw a finger out into the wilderness and expect it to thrive without the body. You wouldn’t take an eye out and throw it off by itself. There is no way to reconcile your rejection of the church with the New Testament.
