"Do you believe the Vail was rent giving us access to the very throne of God and no longer need those?"

"You don't believe anything changed after Christ's death and ressurection? 'wherever two or three are gathered in my name there I am in the midst of them'. 1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? "

=============================================================

You're totally missing the point of my replies to editor-surveyor in posts #737 and #740, relating to God (the only God that is, was, or ever will be) choosing to use things made by the hands of men for God's purposes. (See my reply regarding this to metmom in post #834.)

While I appreciate your clarifying what you said and what you meant, did it occur to you that when more than one person misunderstands what you said, that perhaps you didn’t express it well?

I’m not missing your point at all. I believe it is you who is missing the point. In large bolded print you said “Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst”. That was Old Testament prior to the death and ressurection of Christ. We are no longer to build that sanctuary. The rending of the veil removed that barrior between us and God. No longer does God sanction those “ sanctuaries”. Jesus said “wherever two or three are gathered in my name there I am in the midst of them. Prior to Christ’s death and resurrection only the high priest could approach but now we can go directly to the throne in Jesus name. Jesus now dwells in the hearts of believers.
