God's Dwelling Place.

We think that God resides in His House.

But the scripture says: 

"Heaven is my throne,

and the earth is my footstool;

what is the house that you would build for me,

and what is my resting place?

All these things my hand has made,

and so all these things are mine."

Isaiah 66:1 (NRSV)

And so God dwells everywhere in nature.

Not just within man-made buildings.

So perhaps we should worship in the open air as Jesus did.

The Prophets.

Just as St. Stephen said to the Priests and Pharisees:

"'You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you are forever opposing the holy spirit. just as your ancestors used to do.  Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute?  They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers.'"  Acts 7:51,52 (NRSV)

And they stoned him.

So the Fundamentalist and Evangelical Priests of Jesus own Church have become the descendants of those who killed him.

They oppose any incentives to help the poor, they deny God's mercy and forgiveness, and they persecute any prophetic voices, just as their predecessors did.

This is why the Kingdom never comes. 

Because the Priests of God's own Churches betray Him.
