Don't be so dramatic. I'm not catholic but I think the buildings are magnificent. There's nothing wrong with building a huge extravagent church. If God gave you great ability as an architect, why not build him a great house-it doesn't guarantee the people in that building are saved, but surely the fact you wanted to praise God with with your ability is worth something.

I love and appreciate great architecture... Loved the dome in Koln... But how many big churches have the same spiritual flavor as their buildings? Their majestic appearance does not measure up to how dead the faithfuls are... Thus my saying they are so full of dead bones of Ezekiel 33 * +

At the same time, it doesn't matter how humble or run-down a building is, it doesn't say the people inside are saved. Its always a people problem. Rich or poor, we're all sinners. We must all repent. * +

But the thing is. I like it when a person decides t o use their ability not just for secular purposes. We have Bach-one of the world's greatest composers-who took time to compose religious spiritual music. * +

So true but how many forgiven sinners pretend that that they did God a favor by repenting? How many walk is pharisical righteousness loading it over other members of the church? In the same way how many went to church thinking they find healing but were further broken? * +

To me the best thing is to be in the Isaiah experience... That when one sees the glory of God they'd be awed that it'd expose their sin and thus their need for God. And instead of condemnation it is purging. *
