The Trivia

Where in the scriptures does it tell us to ‘go to church’ each Sunday morning?

The Greek word translated as ‘church’ is the word ‘ekklesia’ which basically means ‘assembly’ and is used in the book of James to describe the ‘tabernacle in the wilderness’ (Horeb).

There was no church building at Horeb, and there were no ‘churches’ in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, but there were ‘temples’ some devoted to Yah, others devoted to other gods.

Rome was full of buildings devoted to other gods, and when Constantine defined his ‘Universal Church’ it was these pagan temples that became the core of his new religion.

When Cain built his walled city, the wall was to keep Yah out, Cain refused to do things Yah’s way, he did it his ‘own way’ as pointed out in Isiah chapter 53.   Cain invented his own religion, presumable based upon the teachings of the serpent from the Garden of Eden.

Yah wants us to make a personal decision to trust and rely on Him (to ‘believe Gr; pisteo) and to keep His commandments and not invent our own as did Cain.

Religion usually implies a collective belief as ordained by religious leaders, but the apostle Paul talks about being a “follower of the Way”.   We must make our own decision to follow The Way, we, personally, leave the pigsty in all humility, willing to give up our princely status and become a servant/slave to Yah.

Do the ‘princes of the Church do this?. Do the ‘elevated’ ones (Rabbis) do this?

Or do the make up doctrine on the fly and expect us to obey or be cancelled…..
