Surely we must realize that the lord God of glory is not impressed by temples, mosques, cathedrals, vatican city and most so called churches in all the world. most of them do not honor him, know him, nor his son or denies him [Jesus Christ]. God does not dwell in temples made by human hands but in human hearts, born again believers in Jesus Christ. He sends his holy spirit into a church body of believers that honor him in truth and spirit and real christian worship, he hears only the prayers of the righteous saved[jn 3:3] All these other mortuaries he does not honor.

What is correct in sharing is our doors are open to everyone, but not according to their spurious doctrines and false religions. 2nd John 10 states: If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house[church] neither bid him god-speed: for he that biddeth him god-speed is partaker of his evil deeds, which means if someone does not believe in sound doctrine comes to my house or church for the purpose of espousing his false beliefs, I am not to receive him, nor say to him God bless him, because God does not bless false man-made religion. Love everybody, but don't agree with everybody, respect their right to choose whom they will serve, even God gives us a choice. He did Adam and Eve. But there are consequences in choosing.
