Quote: 'We can rejoice that in the ruins, new forms of Christian vitality and ministry will be born. I expect to see a vital and growing house church movement. This cannot help but be good for an evangelicalism that has made buildings, numbers, and paid staff its drugs for half a century.'
Response: Perhaps one of the biggest problems with the church...is just that...the church. Christianity is really Churchianity. Christianity has very little to do with Christ...especially the Teachings of Christ. Where did Jesus tell people to build churches? Where did Jesus tell people to attend church? Where did Jesus ask for money? The Christian church is all about ancient Babylon, Egypt, Israel, and Rome...complete with temples and rituals which include human sacrifice. Jesus tried to set us free...but was trampled by this brutal gang. Jesus has been at the back of the bus for 2,000 years. People should stay home and read the Teachings of Jesus...and pray privately in nature. Nature is the true church of the true God of the Universe.
However, the churches which have the best architecture, acoustics, pipe organs, historical value, etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxBjq...eature=related should be preserved...and used as sacred concert halls and museums...but church attendance and participation in rituals should not be required of people...for them to feel that they are 'saved' or otherwise in good and regular standing with Jesus Christ and the God of the Universe. The expense of paying preachers and priests...and paying for extravigant buildings...is a grevous waste of money. God does not need to be worshipped and praised. Satan is the one who requires worship and praise. Who exactly do people worship when they go to church? Think about the parallels between the 'Christian' eucharistic liturgy and Luciferian or Satanic rituals.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTcF-7opGLU Have they been playing the parts of BOTH God and Satan? I mean no harm or disrespect to religious people who are doing the best they can to be good human beings. This includes their leadership...right up to the Pope. We are all in this crazy world together. And I think it's going to get crazier.
I hesitated to include this mysterious video. I generally agree with the editorial bias...but it's very strange. For relevance to this thread...skip to the 28 minute point. Commander X may be accurately describing what is coming next regarding religion. It's something NOT to look forward to.

People still need to be ethically and psychologically well balanced. People need to recognize that they are spiritual, as well as physical, beings...and that spiritual life continues beyond physical death...but they need to get rid of all the non-essentials. Living room meetings where the Teachings of Jesus are discussed...and long walks in nature...are probably good places to begin.
I certainly don't have all the answers. I have participated in churches...including mega-churches...and I have a love/hate relationship with Churchianity...but I have decided to follow Jesus. Though none go with me...still I will follow. Please don't stone me!
