Then WHY are we in Christ SO DEAD SET against Him by going back to what he came to change?
Has it dawned on anyone that Jesus Christ was a REVOLUTIONARY teacher - radical prophet - provocative preacher - contraversialist - iconoclast - and the biggest opponent of the religious establishment?
Granted, Our Lord is loving and non judgmental with us, His Bride, BUT He did NOT COMPROMISE with the TRADITIONS that His people were held CAPTIVE by. He constantly defied the traditions of the Scribes and Pharisees. The Pharisees were those who, for the sake of their own truth, tried to cover up the truth they couldn't see. That is why Jesus always went up against the "traditions of the elders".
Jesus healed on the Sabbath. He healed a blind man by mixing clay and spittle and putting it on his eyes. He ate with unwashed hands. All of these were man's traditions according to how one should conduct, worship, and live as a God fearing man. Jesus came to do away with that.
When Christ came, He did away with religious rituals, clergy, and sacred buildings. This was strictly followed by Christianity for the first 300 years knowing the only sacred building that was raised up was Christ's body, and then later His body, the assembly of saints. When Christ was here He said that no one would worship in, or on a geographical location anymore.
So with this in mind, I ask you:
Why was it SO important to change this formula knowing that the only building we dwell in is the Spiritual one and still take pride and push the material building that we sit in?

George the fredom that we enjoy is not freedom to do whatever we want, yet frredom from the bondgae of sin, not freedom to continue in sin! Freedom from the burdens of sin! and we who attend a local church most certainly do know we are responsible to read and study ourselfs I dont know where you get this half whitted ideas about what we do and dont do! I rea every day inmy bible and nobody talks over me in the church! You will have a master in this life people called Jesus master, that does not suggest the sort of freedom you speak of! We are free from bondage of sin but not free to sin if Jeus is our master then satan and the world no longer are!

To elisha:
Which part of these words are WE not understanding
EVERY ONE of YOU
EACH one of YOU
EACH of you
1 Corinthians 14:26
(KJV) How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
(KJV+) HowG5101 isG2076 it then,G3767 brethren?G80 whenG3752 ye come together,G4905 every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalm,G5568 hathG2192 a doctrine,G1322 hathG2192 a tongue,G1100 hathG2192 a revelation,G602 hathG2192 an interpretation.G2058 Let all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifying.G3619
(LITV) Then what is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, he has a teaching, he has a language, he has a revelation, he has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.
(YLT) What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;
When the saints meet together,the meeting is dependant upon the relationship each person has with Yeshua,not on the so-called pastor ,or worship team.
