I could stand to hear it a couple times. I do hear the "temple" part every great once in a while, I will say. During teaching on those particular scriptures. (our body is the temple...) I never hear either of the 2, that I recall, from a church service setting like in worship service. I do hear a lot of exaltaion on "the house of God"- building and title of it. Like thats where we need to go to get God, just not so much coming out and saying it. I do believe and credit that God is there, because as U said earlier, where 2 or 3... But is it "God's house", or the "House of God" (per N.T. scripture) if we aren't there?
Boy, I am partin hairs now- LOL

Re: Houses and Mansions
If we use "where 2-3 gather in his name" to show what building can be referred to as "God's house", then does it not somewhat conflict with N.T. scripture definition for "God's house"?
And if we do that, then whatever building we are in, (gathered 2-3 in his name), is that building "God's house"? be it coffee shop bible study and prayer, or wherever.

Yes conflicting is right... because I am sitting at Starbucks, ALONE, drinking a quad on ice and God is all over this place!

The REAL New Testament Church is not a building.
It is an organization.
It is the UPCI.

You need a place for that. And in the OT and NT they called it a temple. But we now have what we call a church. Not sure when and where that term got started.  |
Any time and any place two or more are together in the name of the Lord, they are a church. Ref Matthew 18:20

This is true. 99% of the time it is quoted, it is to show that God shows up where 2-3 gather in his name.
Actually the context of Matt. 18:20 is showing what we should do when we have " offence" with someone in the church. Go and reconcile with them, and where 2-3 gather in his name, he'll be there.
