Totally unbiblical. Jesus and the Apostles faithfully attended the Temple & synagogue until they couldn't. Then they worked to set up their own churches.
I could not disagree more strongly. "The Church" is not a physical structure, nor is it something organized by man.


Even I, who was brought up in the Roman Catholic tradition, an altar boy, and schooled by them for nearly 12 years, learned that somewhere along the line

We are all called to worship at the alter. The alter is not at your house.

The whole world, made by the Creator, is my altar.

And I need no human telling me otherwise.


The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
