How about to the gospel of your salvation? How about to where Jesus Christ's words ARE? In the Bible. Not in a religious institution. Eph. 2:8,9 is a good start. 1 Cor. 15:1-4 another. Also 2 Cor. 5:14-21.
BTW: "Satan is sitting in the temple."
"Know ye not that YE ARE the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in YOU?" 1 Cor. 3:16. Satan is NOT sitting in the temple of God. The believers in this age of grace are the temple of God. And we are IN CHRIST.
read Matthew 24.
BTW - the Church is not a “religous institution”, Christians know it is the Body of Christ on earth.
So how did folks manage before there was a New Testament? Such as during the early weeks, months and years following the Ascension of Jesus? Read Acts 15, for instance. A dispute arose in Antioch over the question of circumcision. Paul and Barnabas returned to Jerusalem to consult "the Apostles and Ancients". It was the Church, not a book, which gave a ruling.
The early Christian communities, such as those at Antioch, couldn't say "let's see what the New Testament says". There wasn't one.
First came the Church. Then came the New Testament. Not the other way around. The New Testament didn't drop out of the sky when Jesus ascended. The documents which are now contained within it, first had to be written, then collected and assembled, then distributed. In the interim, life went on. For quite some time. The Gospel was preached, disputes were settled, evangelists were commissioned. All without out a single New Testament.
In their philosophical wisdom, this does not compute...Before I was saved, it did not compute for me either...I know where they are at...
