I'm not belittling the convention gathering at all! Just the inappropriate scriptural explanation... The bible is very clear in stating that believers should have fellowship together. Convention can be a wonderful place to nurture natural and spiritual relationships. You're right. Sorry. I didn't mean you, anyone reading these pages can see who is and who isn't.

~~ hmmmmm... Not WHERE WE ARE then why are you NOT attending the Catholic Church? the Jehovah Witnesses church? or the Pentecostal church? The Mormons church? and why are you attending the Baptist church. Why, did you pick this certain particular church if WHERE WE ARE are NOT that important.
Why people are jumping from one church to another if the WHERE we ARE NOT that big of a deal? If you believe the Holy Spirit is present in a convention shed (why oh why can't we say meeting building just as we used to say meeting tent), then there's no logical reason to say the Holy Spirit isn't present in the buildings where other Christians meet.
Oh. Does calling it a shed instead of a building somehow give it God's blessing? Now, that line of thinking is a bit silly isn't it.I can't speak for everyone else concerning the meeting shed, but it never occurred to me that anyone was calling it a shed and not a building for any particular reason other than simple word usage. For one thing, we went from meeting tent and dining tent, to meeting shed and dining shed: they have a simple ring to them and are easy to say. Secondly, particularly on a farm or ranch, out buildings are often called sheds. I understand that in some countries, conventions have been held in other types of buildings, such as a hostel. And special meetings have been held in schools and firehouses for many years. No big deal there. We call the physical building what it is. The important thing to friends and workers is that we are meeting together, God is there, and we don't need any special building.

AND, as an aside - I just looked up Pentecost again. Wikipedia has it in beside the Temple Court! I thought it was in someone's house! It is Catholic teaching that Mary and the Apostles were in the Upper Room. "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak. [Acts 2:2-4] Christ had promised His Apostles that He would send His Holy Spirit, and, on Pentecost, they were granted the gifts of the Spirit. The Apostles began to preach the Gospel in all of the languages that the Jews who were gathered there spoke, and about 3,000 people were converted and baptized that day." catholicism.about.com/od/holydaysandholidays/p/Pentecost.htmSo...perhaps the Jews were gathered in the Temple Court? ~~ The Pentecost miracle happened in the home first then later on they went to the temple court! to share with the non-believing Jews of their NEW found faith Jesus is the Christ.
Acts 1: 1-4 Jesus had commanded for the apostles and disciples NOT to depart from Jerusalem but wait for the promise from my Father, which ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water, but in a few days ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Acts 1:12-26 The apostles and 120 disciples stayed upstairs in an upper room waiting, continued with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brethren....... And in the day of the Pentecost was fully come, they were AL with one accord in one place... And suddendly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled ALL the HOUSE! where they were sitting.
Acts 2:41-46 They that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day were added unto them about 3000 souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread in prayers.... And they continuing daily with one accord in the temple (Court) and breaking bread from house to house did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.
Acts 3:1-3 Now Peter and John went together to the temple (Court) where taught and preached to the Jews Jesus is the Christ.... 4:4 And 5000 souls were SAVED.
~~ The apostles and disciples went to the temple court! and synagogues to make converts!Jesus command had to do with the Apostles staying in Jerusalem...I never read one place where He told them to particularly stay in a house, in the temple, on the street, on the mtn or in the sheep fold....He toldt hem to stay in JERUSALEM...period. to justify the home mtgs. as an absolure necessity is defying and denying the power of God to work in hearts and minds whereever He may find them! YES< we all spend a great deal of time in houses but it usually is our own and we all don't have mtgs.l in our homes...so Nathan, be careful you will cut yourself off from the dealings of the Lord IF you think He only works where there are house mtgs. Your own quote puts it this way... . And they continuing daily with one accord in the temple (Court) and breaking bread from house to house did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.they went DAILY with one accord in the temple and you put it breaking bread from house to house did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart...that sure seems like to me they ate their meals with one another and that is very likely as some had sold their homes and they sure needed some where to eat their meals....actually I think it was customary to eat only 2 meals per day.

The only scripture that I've heard a worker cite as the basis for conventions was 2 Chronicles 34:29-32 or 2 Kings 22-23. It didn't make much sense to me. At the time I was studying the various times in history when the temple was built and rebuilt in Jerusalem. When Josiah was reigning as king at Jerusalem, he tried to set things in order by restoring the temple and some of the worship practices of his ancestors. While fixing up the temple, they found a copy of the law. This "convention" in 2 Chronicles 34 was a gathering of elders and people to hear the entire Law read aloud because it had been lost for a few generations. Not quite the same as an annual convention! This is the scripture that comes to my mind; "And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together." It's logical that the Spirit would lead believers into fellowship, with God individually, with two or three others, with 1000; into fellowship that's blessed with words of edification, exhortation and comfort. It really is that simple to me, and yet it's criticised to no end. I don't understand why so many feel moved to belittle something God has blessed, what gain is there in doing that? "Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together"I think to take the explanation of this chapter a little further makes it expedient to believe that WHEREVER there are those who believe in Jesus, then there He will be with them as He so well promised whether 2 or 3 or whatever amount as long as the desire is to be with Him...then so He will be there. I like the KJV which says "carcase" because they speaks to me of Jesus death which we are asked to commorate until He returns...and that's why fellow believers gather together is to commorate Him, JMO

There always seems to be obsession when it comes to religions. It is all important for each one to prove they are the correct one and have the right interpretation. I wish everyone could see that God is big enough to be all inclusive. Then this never ending "I'm right, you're wrong" could finally end. ~~ Trouble comes when men tried to change and improve God's truth, way, methods. Look at the church history the last 2000 yrs and you will see all the killing, tourtured, murders in the name of Jesus. If people HAD believed in what Jesus teaches and tried NOT to change it to their own liking there would be a Big Mess like 30,000 plus denominations we have today.Jesus told of those who'd be killing and maiming others and thinking they were doing God a favor.....Paul wrote that it wass that there were those who had a zeal without knowledge, wisdom.

Well of course if God is not giving the increase/revelation then it will remain hidden in code, but if He gives the increase/revelation then it will be understood literally and no need for a code breaker Does this Jean Dixon equal God in interpretation power? Lots of people/groups CLAIM that they have been given the increase/revelation from God and that they hold the key so that there is no need for a code breaker. In fact many groups today such as the JWs (or the Mormons, or the Seventh-day Adventists, or the Cooneyites or some other fringe group) knock on people's door and claim to have "a true understanding of Scripture," and sadly many people can be taken. The tragedies of Jonestown, Waco and of the Heaven's Gate group all demonstrate the reality that people can be led to their destruction (at least physical, if not spiritual as well) by those who distort God's Word. Yea that's right lots of people claim. Do their fruits show what they claim? Many have what you could say have the Eve syndrome and be deceived by the deceiver of all deceivers. So here is the question, who do you believe?

My post above (#207) speaks to this. Besides, where is the deceit? Even if the friends and workers don't want to say the word "building", that is not being deceitful. They may want to differentiate, but that is hardly lying. Anyway, I still think the idea of the word "shed" fitting better and being a normal word to use for such a building, is more the case.

Sounds like purposeful deceitfulness to me. ~~ I don't think so because the workers NEVER care for building churches for the fellowship.... it was done to replace the meetings tents, and easy up keeping, and to please the government codes regulation.... If these building sheds caused too much trouble for the workers they will discard it and rent parks, or something big enough for conventions. I wasn't asking about the workers' involvement.
I asked about this:~~ It is NOT silly at all. If the Holy spirit was in the church buildings the early workers wouldn't have LEFT their churches to follow something different from what they were raised in. If I had felt the Spirit of God in the church buiding I wouldn't have LEFT it in 1978.If the Holy spirit was in the church buildingsSo. You're attempting to convince us that the Holy Spirit is in convention sheds. But not in church buildings. Have I got that right?

Acts 5:32 The Holy Ghost is given to them that OBEY him like in the day of Pentecost! The Spirit descended on Jesus apostles and disciples while they were waiting in the House and NOT on the priests, the high priests at the temple. Jesus established a new priesthood at the Passover with the apostles when he gave them the words of consecration, and told them to "do this in memory of me".

Jesus established a new priesthood at the Passover with the apostles when he gave them the words of consecration, and told them to "do this in memory of me". ~~ Peter wrote I peter 2:9 but ye (believers) are a chosen generation a royal PRIESTHOOD, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should praise of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
~~ The believers are priests NOT the apostles. I believe the Catholic church got the order backwards and many church offices were added like bishops, cardinals, and popes. The pope and cardinals are bishops."The first office to be established is what we now call the diaconate, which was created due to a dispute over the proper apportionment of the Church's charitable resources. Rather than oversee this area directly, the apostles appointed a group of seven men to oversee it, explaining "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables" (Acts 6:2). The next office was the priesthood or presbyterate. The Church began to grow geographically, with congregations in widely separated places. These congregations, many of which had been created by Paul on his missionary journeys, needed men to oversee them in the apostles' absence, to perform the sacraments, and to preach in them. Paul appointed presbyters in the congregations he created ( Acts 14:23), though the office had existed earlier (cf. 11:30). The presbyters had oversight of individual congregations, but what about when the number of presbyters itself grew large? Who would have charge of appointing them and disciplining them when they got out of line? Originally, the apostles themselves retained this function, but, as the number of local congregations grew large and as the apostles aged, they appointed men to fulfill this task as well. Timothy and Titus were among them. They had the function of appointing and disciplining presbyters ( 1 Tim. 5:19-22, Titus 1:5) and thus of ruling indirectly over multiple congregations, including evangelizing new areas and planting new churches. Today we call those who have these tasks the bishops or the episcopacy." www.catholic.com/thisrock/1998/9806chap.asp

Shed is a generic term. Kinda like barn. I call Morton style buildings barns when I'm around them. Some people call their pole barns sheds. What do you suggest we call these constructs? Buildings? Sheds? Mortons? Does it matter? to call a many thousand dollar building a shed is to give a false impression it is worth far less...that is not honest. A Morton Building is a Morton Building... a pole barn is a pole barn. To call either on isn't really honest OR it shows some pretty good lack of knowledge of terminology... I've lived on farms most of my life. My bro-in -law has a "Morton building" and it is a "farm building" and it is worth lots of money and in no way can it be called a shed....He as a 2X2 doesn't try to call it anything but a Morton building and that's what they call the new buildings on the conv. grounds that I know about. They call them buildings....typicall sheds generall are thought to have a roof, maybe one side or 3 sides...they are not known typically to have a roof and 4 sides...they become "buildings" or "lean-to's" or "sheds" My point is that lots of people use these words synonymously to describe these kinds of buildings, accurately or otherwise. In this case especially. Not everyone is so technical. Maybe someone raised in that environment. But a good number of people attending meetings and conventions are going to use one of several terms that seem to fit. Furthermore, there is nothing about it that is done to deceive anyone about anything, as earlier suggested. Nor is it being dishonest. It's just what we call these buildings. Shed may not be precise, but in our ignorance we simply call it that because it's in the vernacular.

The cold mornings wern't much fun though. Made you want to get to the kitchen to serve breakfast though.... I forgot about the nice 2 story barn at Marysville (KS). It was plush compared to Piedmont.I always cringed when Gram used to take a wet washcloth and wash my face before breakfast...it was so cold I'd be cold for several hours!
