Can you find New Testament evidence that Jesus died for the church you go to?

He died to start the Church. The Church is made up of the people that are born again of the water and of the spirit.

Jesus didn't die for any church. He died and then was resurrected to fulfill the prophesies of old. He took upon himself all the sins of the world so we would have the opportunity to return to the Father. We do get into Heaven by grace. Only Heaven has three sets of glories that through our works will determine what degree of glory we will attain. Will our works attain us the highest degree (Celestial) and set us in the presence of God, our Father in Heaven? To inherit all that he has? Or will it just give the glory the lower degrees; terrestrial and telestial (to find out more on these kingdoms, go to lds.org or mormon.org). Christ died to save us all. Man created divisions in his Gospel, not Jesus. The divisions didn't start until the last apostle was taken from the earth.

Nope. In my opinion, Jesus probably would've thrown stones at most of today's churches for their interpretation of Gods' word. Religion is nothing more than one person's take on the word of God. And by the number of different denominational churches out there, you can tell that there are many different interpretations. I believe in no particular RELIGION, but I absolutely believe in God.

Your later questions are extraordinarily reliable. a million. No. He a) suffered the punishment for sins and b) died and resurrected himself -- for all of God's little ones. a number of them ensue to have been in his church. 2. for the reason that human beings did no longer have financial ruin and verse in those days, and since the word is the commencing up of a Messianic Psalm, no, i don't have self belief it relatively is achieveable. Jesus wasn't doubting God. (maximum Christians, for regardless of reason, think of that Jesus replaced into God.) He replaced into asserting that he replaced into the Messiah. 3. No, it relatively is not in all probability in any respect.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God?
1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
A church is just a building until the Holy Spirit shows up. And the Holy Spirit dwells in me and not buildings made by hands.

God so loved the world that He sent His only son to redeem it.
I am the way. Only through me will you be saved.
Churches that belittle other churches are like saying my daddy is bigger than your daddy - childish and prideful.
Psalm one....meditate upon the word of God all day and all night. If you do that you won't have time to criticize other churches.

Jesus didn't die for a church or a temple. He died for us. For our sin. So we can have eternal life.
I know some people don't believe in this. This is only my...MY belief!!

Are there actually 2,000 year old churches around? I would like to visit one just for history appreciation purposes.
