1 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60650 | ||
Searcher, I'm not sure that I agree with your statement about two or three prophets speaking being part of the problem, although it may be a problem with the way services are conducted today. Paul actually seems to be in favor of it by saying, "Let two or three prophets speak..." Perhaps it would be better than one person dictating to the people. You are absolutlely correct in saying that we'd better pay attention. Speaking of the Bereans, Acts 17:11 says that that they were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Why are speakers insulted today when someone questions their message? Even Paul went through this, yet he apparently found these people to be, "of more noble character." Today, not many will consider you doing a good thing if you question the preacher. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

2 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Searcher56 | 60717 | ||
Aspilos, I think speakers insulted today because 1. they don't think anyone knows more than they do ... they (some) have been to school and studied for the message or lesson for hours 2. they are not focused on Christ, but themselves ... and there may be others. As I teacher, I want to always study and learn. Someone may see something that I missed or from other view I haven't thought of. The goal of teaching and preaching is to edify others. Searcher |
