1 | man's tradition | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 102648 | ||
junmeskie - Air-conditioned church buildings are not "biblical" either. Paul never preached in one in his life. But is it following "the traditions of men" to provide worshipers a cool place in the summer and a warm place in the winter? The Apostolic Church was not illuminated by electric lights either, so should modern houses of worship use lamps or candles? Benches at which worshipers can kneel and pray are not, in my view, a perversion of the gospel of Christ I say that, even though the church of which I'm a member does not have a so-called mourners' bench. Nor do air-conditioning nor electric lights pervert the gospel in any conceivable way. It is doctrine that needs ever to be scrutinized in light of the gospel that is the important consideration, not physical appurtenances. --Hank | ||||||

shalor: "Don't forget the indoor plumbing, padded pews, and leather bound bibles." ..... Oh, certainly one must not forget these profane 'man's traditions.' But those leather-bond Bibles are also printed, and on paper yet, and bound in book form. What an outrage! That's man's tradition carried to extreme lengths. We should all go back to hand-written parchment scrolls. --Hank | ||||||
