Christian church like Catholic

[garee]

I'm talking about actual churches, not an online site..

I find it interesting that people attribute technology to solve some of the mysteries of the parables. Even calling them smart phones. Like what does 666 represent? This (electronic chip) is that in which men must of had no idea before 50 years ago. Almost as if technology was the god of this world beware, as good increase so do those who consume them.

Rather than a tool for going out into the world in a hope to make disciples for Christ. Eye contact is important as gathering together but we walk by faith. It is not about believing each other as walking by sight. Many time the apostles when not understanding the spiritual meaning a parable rather than looking at Jesus as the greatest they would set up a manner of spirit "Who is the greatest"? .Jesus rebuked them and said to them... you known not what manner of spirit you are of.

I think God can use technology to accomplish the good purpose of his word. Just as can the father of lies has deceived men into thinking it is a literal sign. rather than a sign that was understandable when the word mark first appeared inspired by God I think John knew the answer.

.In order for Satan to draw man away from where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus (the faith of Christ) He promises he is there with us even before technology the new god of this world would bring lying wonder .


I hear you and do not take away the importance for some to gather together of more than one family . But the qualifications for a church is two or three who gather together in agreement to the authority of God, as it is written .

Three constitutes a family a sect or denomination .A house of two or three walking together is the smallest. Many lively stones make up the spiritual house of house of God. His chaste virgin bride the church.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Great description of the Elect . Called out ones.

What is a "Church, and monastery of one!"

Well? "A" Church? Is "any/every ONE" "Called OUT" from the "world!"

Using a U.S. Army term in the describing/defining a "monastery of one?" "Advanced Individual Training." Which is one way, I have come to describe it.

Another, mostly "European" way of describing monastery of one, would be "like" going from "grammar school" to "University!" Majoring in "Higher Level Spiritual Warfare."

So then you are exchanging the word church for monastery?

How does "Higher Level Spiritual Warfare" describe monastery of one? Are you saying Christian growth increases the more we are taught, as in he must increase and we must decrease ?

There is a saying that "veterans" are oft times asked by "green" recruits, when asked to "describe" a war zone!"

ALL the words in the world, could not perfectly describe to "any" man's liking, a war zone!

On the the other hand? A "vet" talking with a "fellow" vet? NO words, are NEEDED!

Meaning? You can strive til your blue in the face. And, I could "explain" it to you, as I have? Yet, in doing so? Only ONE thing gets done! The "NULLIFYING" of the "Word of God!"

Not to say, you aren't "saved!" Yet, you "sling" around a heavy weight, you are wishing EVERYONE in the "bearing of it!" EXCEPT? YOURSELF!

Wanna KNOW what I'm talking about? Start becoming MORE of a living sacrifice! Meaning? "Pick up your own Cross!" THEN? You wouldn't deem it as necessary!

Meaning? As many "a Priest", Jesus has?

His Father has His "Priests" as well!

So then you cannot help me understand a "Higher Level Spiritual Warfare" describes monastery of one? And I am "NULLIFYING" of the "Word of God!

"Does a monastery of one mean you are a one man Army?

It does not get any higher than the church not seen . Where you speaking of wrestling against flesh and blood the things seen ?

No protestant church in Europe can compare to various charities, hospitals, caring for old people, caring for homeless people, monasteries etc of the RCC.
You are right that there is almost always some RCC organization "open" for you to come.

In the USA, I think that methodists run some hospitals?

In Florida SDA runs the second largest hospital system in the US.

This might come across as a bit sarcastic but its not meant to be,
its just an observation.

Supermarkers in the UK are open 24/7 but I would not go to a supermarket
to find out how to be saved or for wisdom and encouragement.

Likewise I would not go to a catholic church to
find out how to be saved, or for wisdom or encouragement even if it was
open 24/7.

I was in the Army and remember AIT quite well. The atmosphere was less stressful than Basic Combat Training (BCT) that's for sure. I remember a Friday night at the Cadence Club during AIT at Ft. Jackson, SC. I am surprised that the MP's didn't come to break up the party.

Are there a Church like Catholic that is for regular Christian that may have family living in there that have Church open 24/7 like Catholic does?

The reason I ask is cause Catholic is very reliable, but it's not the kind of Church I go to, and every time I need something the Christians are not available because the church is every Sunday, and even once every Sunday is not enough, but the Catholic has more advantage, and is available 24/7.

I think you'd have to call around to your local churches or the church of choice and ask about their entry policy's "after hours". A great many churches were open around the clock years ago. But due to vandalism and other offenses that would occur from time to time many found it necessary to lock up after dark.
The post office in my home town was like that. The lobby always open to box holders. Then it became quite perilous for folks that worked the graveyard shift to check their mail after work and due to homeless people occupying the lobby and being a threat.
The Christian is the temple of God where His sacred Holy Spirit dwells and guides the faithful into all truth. You do not need a church building to enter church. Just find the quiet in your own daily grind, in your own mind and through meditation or prayer, and you are in church. Blessings.

I'd also correct the title of your thread. The Roman Catholic Church is not, per its own Catechism, a Christian church. Article 9 dictates the "good Roman Catholic" believes in the holy Catholic church.....".
And the Council of Trent dictated what that good Catholic does not believe about Christ and his word in order to be one that believes in the idol that then is that holy Catholic church.

A lot of stores and businesses in Florida are open 24/7/365 too. I agree with your estimation. The best source for wisdom or encouragement is the bible.
