1Tim.3:16- There are two words here that we need to understand. The terms are Rock and Peter. The question is, did Jesus (as you have stated) say He would build the church on Peter or did He mean upon Himself? Ok, the term Peter in the original language is Petros; and the term Rock in the original language is Petra. Petros means a stone, a piece of a rock study John 1:42. Now, the term Petra(Rock) found in Mat. 7:24 is the same as in Mat. 16:18. (Study ICor.10:4). An important question to ask yourself should be; do you build on Peter, Petros or do you build on Jesus Petra? Study Luke 6:47-48 KJV | ||||||
2 | Hades shall not overpower the church? | Matthew | Truth31 | 123407 | ||
Perhaps this will aid: Notice Mat.16:18 "I will build.." letting us know that it had not happened yet. It wasn't until the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 that it went from going to exist to actually existing see Acts 2:38-47. Jesus spent a lot of his time specifically preparing his twelve Apostle's for the kingdom to come which is the church. There are many that believe that they are separate, but wisdom reveals otherwise, see Mat. 16:28. Here is one instance of what I mean by preparing them see Lk 24:47(to happen) compared to Acts 2:38,41(happened). The church could not come to pass until Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Look at Jesus’ response regarding Peter’s statement after he told them of his impeding death see Mat.16:23. Jesus knew who was behind this statement and knew he was trying to prevent it from happening. P.S. Please see 2Pet.1:20. | ||||||
3 | Where does membership come from? | NT general Archive 1 | Truth31 | 123400 | ||
I must have misunderstood your question. But, as for the church of Christ…the church and the membership is one in the same, there is no such thing as "a member of the body of Christ" and "Church memberships of today". I say this because, the church that existed then still exists now, we just have Satan's version all over the place confusing those that do not study to know the truth(John 8:32). Following the doctrines of men(Eph.4:14). The bible is the only guide we have(2Tim.3:16). As for the church of the bible which is the church of Christ which is Jesus' body, well there aren't any beyond that which is written through example and diligent searching the N.T. scriptures(Acts 17:11). Oh yeah, could you provide the scripture regarding membership only requiring salvation from sins? Thanks | ||||||
