The Resurrected Body of Christ according to Scripture, is “wherever two or more are gathered together in My Name, there am I in their midst, is the invitation from Christ. The concept of a “church structure” today is wrong because a church is just a New Testament synagogue. They are both just man made buildings. But we are “living stones assembled together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. And because God is spirit and God is truth and seeketh such, A physical structure is totally unsuitable. We are asked to convert into his look a likes, taking on the angles of the “Chief Cornerstone that the builders rejected”.

Even as He spoke to David; “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall NOT build Me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have NOT dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but you have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar? 7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel (born again Jacob). 8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and I will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own (to mean separated from and sanctified) and move no more (for eternity); nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that I your God will build a house to include you. 11 And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your SEED (Christ) after you, who will be of your lineage; and I will establish HIS kingdom. 12 He shall build Me a house, and HIS throne will be established (and oporational) forever. 13 I will be HIS Father, and HE shall be My son; and I will NOT take My mercy away from Him, as I took it from those who were before you. 14 And I will establish HIM in My house and in My forever kingdom; and HIS throne shall be eternally established”

Therefor we say; Enter The New Covenant era. And “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. To mean that it is within reach to the re-spirited mind of faith. Even as Peter said “5 Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. To mean you will be able to grasp these truths.

And because of these promises, Christ came and BECAME THAT CHIEF CORNERSTONE, and the 12 foundation stones are the Apostles all of whom He chose. Then the 12 gates are the Prophets. And “we are (His) living stones assembled (Assembly?) a habitation of God in the spirit”. To mean, we are in Him, in His structure, and He is in us, and that we are His members and feelers in a dying world.

And it all started right here; (17 Christ spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, ² as You have given Him authority over all flesh (in an eternal way), that, for Him to give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. ³ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and the Christ whom You have sent, who said. ⁴ I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do (meaning all the scriptures). ⁵ And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” And these all fulfilled, He is now “seated at the right hand of the Father, waiting for His enemies to become His footstool, because of His previous work that is still being played out TODAY, so as not to need an addendum, modifications or anything else you can think of for Him to need to come back to do something else. Those are all forms of disbelief. For IT IS FINISHED!  (The Holy Spirit Now is at work in us, as is Word already spoken and laid out, or splayed, with arms wide at the cross (Our cross over point into Eternity), to “Come unto Me”

And we can confirm His “Will and Testament, which describes the distribution of the testators goods as the result of that death to mean the cross. That we are joint heirs of the things even NOW that were written back then. Check the scriptures, there is no other point of distribution. The only difference is the time of your new birth, to mean those “born of the Spirit as joint heirs of the things “In Christ”.

As you can see, it was Christ, after He put off His flesh assembled the 12 Apostles as the foundation laid back then that we are standing on NOW! To then have as door ways or entry points described as the 12 prophets according to the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to show His servants things which must shortly (also translated “immediately) take place. And it did. To mean within their time frame back then. Even as Christ had said, ” for I tell you the truth, their are some standing here who shall not taste death until they see (Me) the son of Man coming in Glory in My Kingdom”. To infer that what was written was meant to whom it was spoken to back then. That “The Kingdom of God was at hand” back then. (Go to your scriptures and look for the phrase “second coming”. It is not there, because His comings are many. And it was the wicked servant who said “my Master delays His coming”. So you have been warned!

And because Christ built with “living stones” like “Peter”, not the man so much but his inner man. You don’t visually see this, but if you are perceptive, you should be able to perceive it (to mean an inner seeing), with your heart. “For it is with the heart that one must hear and see to receive the things from God”.

And this is how ALL revelation takes place because even as Christ said “My Kingdom is NOT from here (at that time standing in THAT Jerusalems (not so) holy place, to continue and say,) “if it was I would fight but hence My Kingdom is NOT from here”.

To understand Gods Kingdom in this way, frees us up to say Yes, We are living stones assembled a habitation of God in the Spirit, and (structural) members of “Heavenly Jerusalem the Mother of us all, who are born of the Spirit. That this “Mother of us all”, is to infer that it started with them, to include as many as are born again and borne from above, as those born of the Spirit. (John 3, abc’s of faith). To mean us too!

Are you starting to get the picture? Living stones? A habitation of God in the Spirit?  Because if you want something more actual, factual and substantial, you are trying to appease your carnal nature when scripture declares that “Old things having past away, behold ALL things have become new, and ALL things are from Christ”. Not the man, but who He was before He ever “became flesh and dwelt among us. These are the rightful heirs of the Kingdom. He only became flesh to show us how to put it off. Not so much the flesh body itself, but the fleshly appetites demands and fears that promote carnal preservation. That is the mindset that is “enmity against God”, that enshrines Temples, Cathedrals and Churches….

But the scriptures say that Christ is the first born from the dead, as the Chief Cornerstone. (The stone that the builders rejected has become the Chief cornerstone”. And that is a marvelous work in our sight”?) These verses all speak of the Christ for while He was here in the flesh, He fulfilled, or, filled to the full all of scripture up till His day to include the gospels as the ending of The Old Covenant, for the New Covenant to start after His death and resurrection. To leave no open ended scriptures to fulfill in some future.

And as He told the disciples right before the cross. He said “I go to the Father and ye see Me again no more“(John 16). However you would never know that now by the current teachings of a second coming Jesus man. For “flesh and bone does Not inherit the Kingdom”. And if that is not enough? Hebrews chapter 1 states that Christ is seated waiting for His enemies to become His footstool. Why? Because, as He said at the cross “Father, it is finished. And from John 17. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

And to enter His Glory, like with sports. There is no glory or trophy until the task is completed. But Christ is seated waiting for His enemies to become His footstool, (Hebrews 1.1) as He watches everything being played out to perfection.

This is the institution in the spirit of your mind, of “Heavenly Jerusalem the Mother of us all, started with “and I say you are Peter, (to mean Petros and Rock) and on this rock I will (NOT build My church but, I will assemble my church!! (The Greek word translated church, is ekklisia and means (those who are called). That we are the living stones built up a habitation of God in the spirit. That we are His members. And where ever two or more are assembled (also translated built) there am I in their midst”.

And because kind begets kind and associates with such. Physical structures are completely unsuitable to house those who are born again and borne from above and borne by the Spirit. That “the spirit blows where it wishes? You can hear the sound but you don’t know where it comes from or where it goes?” So is everyone who is borne from above”, to mean of the Spirit. So that yes, born again believer’s, These are the bricks for the building of God. The brick that the builders rejected became the Chief Cornerstone.

We are “built up a habitation of God in the spirit. And, that wherever two or more are gathered on My name, there I am”? We are His assembly. His “general assembly and church of the firstborn. See that you do not refuse Him who speaks from Heaven! For if they did not escape him who spoke on earth, how much more will they escape Him who speaks from Heaven for the removal of ALL (all visible) things for the invisible to remain?”

Separating the wheat from the chaff.

It was the “Ekklesia” erroneously translated “church” was to mean an “assembly of believers” as operating off of these truths and NOT a physical structure where the word “church” gets inverted to confuse these final generations.

Of which church has no Hebrew or Greek correlation and is etymologically associated with the Scottish words kirk, curse, circus and sorcery and has no real relevance with scripture other than what people have been taught to believe about church today. But their church refers to a visible, physical structure. But we are living stones!!!

God had already made it crystal clear in Exodus 20. That “if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone (or if you use your tools on it) for in the day that you use your tool on it? You have profaned it, Do NOT associate Me with such”.

And in New Covenant lingo “22 In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

And not a physical man made building of any sort at all ever. For it was even the whole population of the Old Covenant that were called “children nearly 1200 times in Scripture, because they could not understand that what they were doing was playing with toys. They put up and took down over and over using training instruments, but never made the cross over. They all died in the wilderness which just describes their bewildered mindsets.

So goes the whole of Christendom today with churches and cathedrals. But we were warned that “The wheat and the tares grow together? How much more deceptive can you get than building with bricks, and how much more blasphemous can the final era church extend her defiance in the face of the scriptural evidences. And with the obvious observation, there is of a lack of knowledge or repentance. That “if per chance God gives them a knowledge of repentance? So as to escape the snare of the Devil who has taken them captive to do his will? So as to repent and change?  And from Peter “it would be better off NOT knowing the truth than to know it and turn from it. But as a dog returns to its vomit and a pig to the wallowing in the mire, do to these go back to the old way of doing things. And with more quotes directly from our Savior, “when the Son of man comes, will He really find faith on earth?” Even as Christ was asked, “are there many or few that will be saved? Who told the disciples. “Strive to enter the Kingdom for the narrow is the gate and few there are that find it, but broad is the gate that leads to destruction” and many find it. And “wicked men and impostors grow worse and worse? You may find you have to go it alone in the flesh. However the validations from Gods Holy Spirit will reward you tremendously for doing so.

As we hope you can recognize these truth here. That God rewards those that diligently seek Him! Because we will all have to face a time when you feel you have to go it alone, for that is a test of obedience and personal sovereignty acquired as being fulfilled as His image.

And again from the gospel “Those who love brothers, sisters mothers and fathers more than Me? are not worthy of Me”, said Christ. This is a concept you have to face as testing your intentions for that is what our life here is for. A separation process. Even as Hebrews states;  4.13-16 dividing of soul and Spirit, and there is nothing hidden from the sight from Him with whom we have to do”, to mean, with whom we must give an account.

“The wheat and the tares nature together”? But “first gather the tares in bundles to burn, to gather the wheat into My barn”. To mean that the wheat will see the bundling in terms and conditions for uncountable contending counterfeits.

How snug it feels to have comfort in numbers among the man made church buildings, but that is NOT a promise from the Heavenly Father or His Only Begotten. And again “are there many or few that are saved?” To mean avoid being bundled to burn. And Christs answer? “Broad is the road that leads to destruction and many find it”. Our rout is the narrow path and treacherous. To mean one at a time, and “each one in their own order, Christ first”. (1 Corinthians 25)

Here is our warning explicit and clear from Hebrews ”

²² you HAVE (already) come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the ^[j]general assembly and the Ekklesia of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, ²⁴ to Christ the Mediator of the new covenant, and of His blood that was sprinkled that speaks better things than that of Abel.

…………

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks (to you through these words). For if they (under the Old Covenant) did not escape Him who spoke on earth? How much more shall we NOT escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven (to us by His Holy Spirit), ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet one more time I ^[k]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷ Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken (even as we speak here), as of things that are made (associated with the seven days creation with Adamites), so that the things which cannot be shaken (meaning the Eternal) may remain (to mean without competition.)

²⁸ Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we ^[l]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

For God had said “And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for in the day that you use your tool on it? You have profaned it, do not associate me with such”? So goes all physical structures, to include all your brick and mortar churches, cathedrals or other built structures such as are common to man, as blasphemous, because of how a physical temple distorts our perceptions of these truths. Even as Christ said to Petros, or Peter “For I call you Petros for upon this rock I shall assemble my church, in Greek  from “eklesia”, which simply means “My called out ones”. Called out of the old testament teaching tools into the invisible. That is why we are called “Living stones assembled for a habitation of God in the Spirit. And why Peter in Greek is Petros and means Rock. And from the revelation “built up of stones that are the measure of a man that is of an angel”, as once again associated with the part that intricates us with Spirit and truth and not churches. That is part of “the illusion with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect. And if you are NOT sure that you are of the Elect, then if I was you? I’d reconsider my affections for buildings of worship. For sinse “the wheat and the tares mature together”, and “the first shall be last and the last shall be first”. And “if possible to deceive the Elect”, to mean,, if you are NOT sure that you are among the Elect? And your not sure if what we say about the church is true? It may be your view of church that may prevent you from receiving the validation from the Holy Spirit that you are of the Elect. Because if you have not received this revelation by the spirit of what we say about church? It could be because you are hanging on to the concept today that is common about church, that just does NOT fit with scripture. And if you wonder how this could happen? You need to go no further than Matthew 13 that states

“The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.

So for us, we have to scramble through the debris of weakened understandings and translations of Gods gospel of His Son, to uncover these truths. So we borrow this verse that Paul brings up later, to show you where we are going through the mumbled text in its current condition, to say that  18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the self same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit.” To use the mirror metaphorically. So as too set aside the notion of some future coming Jesus to give you something later as though we are left here bereft and  ill-equipt, waiting for our change to come, when we have the scriptures and the Holy Spirit to deliver us the goods.

That, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these (PROMISES) you can be partakers of the divine nature (NOW), having (already) escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” And how? Through the knowledge, to apply what you know As Paul says “sown in weakness, raised in understanding”. So unless you know where we are going, you might get lost as we fumble through some distorted texts to get through this juxtaposition, to where what we just quoted makes more sense.
