SOLOMON'S PORCH

*********************************************

John 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

THE FIRST  NEW TESTAMENT  CHURCH  was meeting OUTSIDE in a Covered Place, called Solomon's Porch,
or Court ( sometimes the women's court ). They had NO BUILDING to meet in. They were eventually ran Off the Temple Mount where this Court was Located.  

Acts 3:11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in
the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

Acts 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;
 and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

There is NO  RHYME or REASON on where anyone ever Got the IDEA  that the NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
was to be  Gathering inside a BUILDING ??  Jesus  taught the people Outside and  the Disciples had their First
Service OUTSIDE in a Courtyard.

Then from there the Congregation was broken up, and went to HOMES or small gatherings. They had
NO BUILDING.  They were cast off the Temple mount.

Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes
 followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Later Paul rented a place to hold meetings  that he PAID for with his OWN MONEY and he did not Take any Offering.

 

BUT the NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH  Gathered  OUTSIDE  of the ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS.

This is where the BODY of CHRIST is at right Now.   We are being Called Out of Religious Buildings
to Gather together  in NEW PLACES  in CHRIST JESUS.   Outside  the Gates or Walls,  Moving
into a Place of LIBERTY.

Heb 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Heb 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Heb 13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

without, out of doors
an encampment, the camp of Israel in the desert
of the sacred congregation or assembly of Israel, as it had been gathered formerly in camps in the wilderness
