while some dude is killing your wife and children...or worse, giving them a life time of memories nobody wants...you will prepare a nice meal when the event is over. interesting how you can use those verses to make a doctrine that is not actually present in scripture, but you deny anyone else 'using' a verse to illustrate their rebuttal to your hilarious passivity
get off it
don't forget the kool-aid...it seems you have some on hand already

Should we give to others undeservingly or require working and responsibility of others?
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Vs
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Can you imagine the abuse if Christians in this world if we lived by Matthew 5:42? Can you imagine giving to anyone who asks and require no payment in return?

Before The Lord called Paul to teach to the body of Christ new revelation. Btw, during the early part of Acts, the Church was made up of Jews only and the kingdom of heaven was still at hand. The kingdom was postponed at the stoning of Stephen, Israel’s last chance to receive their Messiah. The spiritual kingdom of God would continue through the Gentiles.
Almost every word out of Jesus' mouth was spoken in parables and yet people think we are to take the bible literally.... SMH.
The whole bible is an esoteric book, the entirety of meaning hidden underneath the words. It's no wonder there are over 33,000 denominations. <--- That was an esoteric message by the way.

I actually agree with much of what you are saying. However, I believe you are missing something...
Please bear with me for a few posts, and I will try to help you see exactly what that something is.
Go read this web page:
http://mywebsite.us/ABA/Topics/Local_New_Testament_Church.html
Then, come back and tell me (be honest) that you clearly understand the simple-but-certain difference(s) between the 'spiritual' church, the 'universal' church, and the 'local' church.
Then - I want to ask you a question.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. My position on the church is it is believers only, invisible with no physical presence in the world until 2-3 or more meet in Jesus' name. This can be anywhere and nowhere in particular. And then we return to invisibility when the meeting ends. Institutional Churches are man-made and do some good but always entropy into error. Where the truth does not change.
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Jesus and the apostles gathered together in the tabernacle with the apostate Jews. Gathering on the first day of the week.
Your position is like a family never gathering together. Not much of a family and no opportunity to share burdens. Those disposed to no hospitality are not showing the fruit of the Holy Spirit basically hypocrites.
