Our Body is the Temple of God so what is a Church but the Temple. Now you ask what is the best church well the disciple ask Christ who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them 18:3 And said "verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Who could build a house for God when the earth is his footstool. As far as the right church is the one that's out in the world doing the works of Christ . In prisons in Homeless shelters and soup kitchens on the streets sharing the word of God do you think these people are doing it because they want to be mocked spit on laughed at persecuted it's out of the Love for our Savior. God doesn't need pour money but if you meet at a place of fellowship it doe's take money to pay bill's.
NO you don't have to go to church to go to heaven John 3:16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

I have never seen a hint of greed at any church in any city I've lived in. Also, church councils usually have plenty of direction that plan events and keep the church involved in the community.
I think you are just seeing what you want to see.
By the way, if you attend services, you should give freely at the offering. The church is paid for by its congregation. If you think this is greedy then you really know NOTHING about how a church survives. God doesn't come down and pay the bills, the people have to.
You people who think church should be free should take a real good look at yourselves.

If you are in a church that you see as greedy with a lack of direction I strongly suggest you find a new church.
As for inheriting His kingdom, it's not going to church that makes you an heir to God's kingdom, it's your faith in His son Jesus as the Christ that makes you an heir.
One of the purposes of the church is for you to go and be fed the word of God, and to edify others while being edified; so if your in a church that is uncomfortable, your in the wrong place. I pray that God guide you to a church home that will enable you to truely experience His love and grace.

The true church is found in the book of Acts. Think about it. Jesus taught the twelve and when the church began they taught what he had taught them. So the true church is the one that teaches the Apostles message. What was their message? Among other things it was salvation according to Acts 2:38 and the experience of the baptism of the Spirit found in Acts 2. They knew this was right because they said of their own beliefs "1 John 4:6 (KJV)
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." If you are confused about all of these so called churches go to the original and you have come home. As to praying at home, the entire New Testament was written to churches so God is involved in HIS church. I can give you some adresses of original teaching churches if you are interested. Hope this helps.

I know of two people who asked God which was the right Church: George Fox and Joseph Smith. Both were told to found a new Church, Quakers for Fox and Mormons for Smith.
So apparently asking God which is the right Church is a little like volunteering.

God advised us contained in direction of the Apostle Paul-'do no longer forsake the assembly together'....He needs us to fulfill and strengthen. there is no longer something incorrect with assembly with and praying with friends and relatives. yet do no longer forsake the interior of sight church-discover one-or start up one-yet be in church. It does look that church homes basically desire money-some do. yet we ought to continually keep in mind that any valid church isn't in any agency. a valid church has no earnings different than the tithes and options of the participants. A church ought to never ask for donations from the community-no rely if via automobile washes, bake sales or raffles, or the different ability. What that asserts to the community is which you serve a puny little god who can no longer even pay the sunshine invoice. do no longer do it. It sends the incorrect message. Which church is sweet? i do no longer understand what component to the country you reside in. i assume the u . s . (I cant sustain with total international). there are various reliable church homes interior the South and Mid-west. They get narrow up North and out West. No offense to absolutely everyone. a reliable church will have faith in Jesus in basic terms for salvation, and that the Bible is the infallible recognize God. exterior that there is no reliable church. some total denominations are not any reliable. some are a sprint greater proper. you're able to be able to additionally stumble on a reliable pastor in a reliable church in a foul denomination. however the terrific ones I extremely have seen denomination sensible, many times conversing are: Southern Baptist, Methodist (previous-no longer united), Presbyterian (previous), Calvary Chapel, Missionary Baptist, Bible Church, some Independant Pentecostal. you basically have been given to discover one the place Jesus is Lord and His be conscious taught-reliable luck

Your best bet is to find a church that routinely forgets to take the offering. I found one. It's incredibly refreshing.

There is only one religion that truly makes sense.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

For me, it makes more sense than other religions.
