Buildings can fall and crumble, but the true church will withstand any wordly or otherworldly force. Real people, serving a real God, making a real difference. What do you believe the real Religion and real church are?

The real church is the one in our hearts. That's where we communicate with God. The real religion can also be the one in our hearts. But it must be built around the idea of treating others as we want to be treated. The moment a religion veers down a path that harms another person, it becomes morally bankrupt. And that's how you know.

The religion and church aspect are not my concern or even who or what people consider to be a real god. Working together to help each other in spite of our differences should be the goal.

The REAL church is NOT a building made with hands.
The real church are those who have believed God with regard to the death , burial and resurrection of Christ as being sufficient to RECONCILE a person to God.
The CHURCH today, which is called the Body of Christ, consists of those persons who have taken God at His Word and BELIEVED His testimony as recorded in the Bible.
Have YOU believed ?

I agree. the real church has survived. Even the temples in the time of Jesus crumbled. It is the true followers that pass it on that are the true church.

Jesus promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church.
He did not promise that hell was not going to give it one hell of a shot...
The Real Religion is the relationship Christ made possible for us by reconciling us to Himself. We can be friends again, if only we will.
The Real Church are the people who will...

Definition of "religion" from the Bible:
JAS 1:27 Pure and undefiled RELIGION before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
The best definition of "church" in Scripture:
1 Corinthians 12--13For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

The church is your body. Now its up to you if you want the devil to dwell in it or God.
