Where IS God In The Church.


In the people?

God isn't in the church...Persay...He should be in the people who belong to that church.

A church is just a building, its the people who make it a home, an escape...a refuge, I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful Church family. And I'm sorry for any who don't find that.

"Love is in the House" TobyMac

"If We are the Body" Casting Crowns...this is a good song for making people realize that we aren't perfect and sometimes a person, sadly, walks into a church and doesn't feel the love in the house. Again I am very lucky to have my church family. But I don't always go to church...He is with me always, Guiding me, Loving me for who I am.

Well anyhow...

Are you sure about that.
What about "Whenever two or more of you gather in my name, I will be there."

Aye...HE will be there...but He is there for you alone as well...in fact...when we are alone that is the most important time for us to have Him in our lives. He's there, no matter what...He carries us through our bad times, support us in our good times.

I'll put a little twist on this...

If God [only] lives in Believers and Christians, doesn't that just make Him only a "belief"?

I would venture to say, that if God lives "in" someone, He lives in non-believers as well. Proof is that He gives EVERY man the measure of faith, not just the elite group who profess that faith. Didn't that faith reside in you before you accepted this fact? Wasn't that measure of faith already there? Does that measure of faith leave you when you reject Him and come back again when you change your mind?

"Hell" is the absence of God's presence. None of us have ever been absent from the presence of God before, in fact, we were created in His image, body, soul, and spirit, and will die in His image. The reality is, God lives in the spiritual "realm". It's probably safe to assume that this realm exists everywhere.

God is not just a belief.

Aye God is not just a belief...and He lives in all of us...this is most definitely true...we're all His Children...no matter who, where, what we are...This I truly believe.

Maybe the reason people don't see God in church is because they are looking at the people as the source of where He exists. Big disappointment there. When people do this, they only see "beliefs". Everyone has them, they're not all the same, or even all right or all wrong. You gotta look beyond the people to see God. You take all the people away, and He still exists. You put all the people back and you cloud His image.

oh my God someone needs to teach y'all about God and his words... God is everywhere ... in the church too. it is said where two or more gather in my name there shall i be ....God is not a flesh... thats why God is 3 FATHER ,SON AND THE Holy Spirit .... So unless we really open our heart to him and HAVE REAL FAITH IN HIM he will not be seen in the flesh for us because we are sinful....

But on the last day when Jesus come back y'all see his grace....

Please ask if you have more question because we all needs to understand Gods words....

the church is not the building. the Church is the body of believers. those of us who believe in Christ are the church. the building is the place the Church meets.

Which God? There is only one true God. He is the Creator of all that is.
