All we know is that Paul's letters to the new "churches" - really just gatherings of Christians - in Greece and Macedonia repeatedly emphasize the new faith in Christ's miraculous defeat of death be practiced in groups of bretheren. Paul encourages them to keep one another faithful. Nothing about buildings, however convenient. Lutherans don't want pastors to "interpret" anything for us; we read and study the Bible and ask hard questions of this man who was called by our congregation (we have a constitution and vote). He exists to lead a divine service and administer Communion as a servant of Christ.

Despite it being one his least popular posts, I agree with his post about churches being evil. Obviously I’m not a traditional Christian to say such a thing, but that’s ok. All my life churches resonated negatively with me. I see evil depictions all over them. Often Mary is depicted as greater than or more important than Jesus. Sometimes there will be statures that look satanic . The priest will often wear a black robe or some other completely unneeded vestment that elevates him above the ‘meek’.
