He doesn't donate to build a Church of wood and stone either.
What excuse did the Pope give for nit sending a single dime for the 'repairs to a building that was already undergoing a $60M repair.
My Church is open 24/7 and to enter all you do is open a Bible, or in your case start a thread and some Christian will come along and you are 'in Church'. Not much easier or cheaper than that. All that is in the book yet you continue to say groups like the RCC represent 'the Church' as defined in the Bible. With differences like that I'm not ashamed to hold onto the view I currently have while you have to struggle with that book and in the D. Icke forum it can't even be quoted. I can see how that would 'advance knowledge' as fast as possible, . . .not.
My God comes looking for the ones that cannot find Him before He melts the rocks on this earth as a way to clear things away for the next and last phase of the story the Bible tells. For the moment let's say that knowing that part makes me 'more informed' than you at the moment. To be born before that happens means you will be a witness to some part of it while being born after the earth cools down and people again live there. It also means you will be a 'seed' for the start of families in the era. The children born into that era never see anything that 'sin' can do, they will have stories to listen to, we will both. They would be like Job without any of the torment that Satan caused.
Christ was alive before Ge1:1 was spoken into existence, you and I are alive before the creation of 'the new earth' and at the end of it we are perfect witnesses because we 'saw it all' whole children born during that era do do have any witness of the 'beginning'. The Jerusalem mentioned in New Jerusalem from Re:21 BTW
Isa:65:16-19:
That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth;
and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth;
because the former troubles are forgotten,
and because they are hid from mine eyes.
For,
behold,
I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered,
nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create:
for,
behold,
I create Jerusalem a rejoicing,
and her people a joy.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
and joy in my people:
and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her,
nor the voice of crying.
Proverb:8:23-31:
I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning,
or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths,
I was brought forth;
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills was I brought forth:
While as yet he had not made the earth,
nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
When he established the clouds above:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his decree,
that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him,
as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men.
The 'beginning' includes all the time allotted for 'this earth' to exist, that is Ge:1-3 for the beginning and Re:20-22 for the end if this earth. We have not reached the end yet. If you don't like the new setting you can always opt out and go to the fiery lake instead, . . . your call.
Re:20:11:
And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.
