Do you always make such inane leaps of reasoning when you find you’re lost in the discussion? I have stated not one thing about tearing down edifices. That they are built for someone or some org to pat oneself on the back for doing this great thing for God is waht I addressed. So, because you too seem to need to frame my posts in a fashion you can attack, Have Nice Day.
So you -aren’t- an iconoclast? Okay. Sure sounded like it to me.
Again those same edifices are perfectly fine. You may not like them, but there’s nothing in scripture which bars them from being built.
“That they are built for someone or some org to pat oneself on the back for doing this great thing for God”
Most of the really big ones took generations to finish. So the one that decided to begin the project wasn’t the one to even see it completed. So I’m not quite sure where the personal edification comes in.
Sure, Crystal Cathedral is an exception to this, which, hence the irony of it becoming Catholic. God can take what was done for the wrong reasons and use it to good ends.
Anyways, apologies then. Blessings to you and yours.
