Hi, Bill... What kind of church? In Him, Doc |

Not sure how that comes into the discussion but I'm talking about the same church in the NT. Thanks for the dialouge, Bill |

Hi, Bill... It has quite a bit of influence on the answer. Church polity and administration factor in. In Him, Doc |

I guess that's part of my personality; never have favored the politics that enters into an organization with human beings involved. It's so much more ideal to just simply follow God's Word, agree on Doctrine and maintain options as God allows. That's why our group call ourselves christians; we're all in agreement. We find we get along better by maintain that kind of focus. Does your congregation leadership encourage this kind of adopting a ministry for everyone, especially after being a christian for several years? How does your group get the 80-20 ratio a little closer to 50-50 or better? Anyone else? Go with God in all things, Bill |

Dear Bill, That's too bad that you misunderstand that. Governments in general, and the church in particular, are organizations of God's mandate to human beings. Operating outside of these institutions is lawlessness. As you seek to teach, I would encourage you to study a broader base of Christian teaching. Primitivism is simply not taught in Scripture. It is alien to Christian orthodoxy. If you seek to teach, then prepare for it with study. These things do not come without effort. In Him, Doc |

Thanks for guidance. I am taking college level courses in Bible and I have taught Bible to teens and adults for several years. We do have some lively discussions as we encourage that sort of thing whereas I grew up in a fairly conservative church area. But now back to the topic at hand. How about responding to my questions on this thread? Looking forward to your intellectual responses and/or suggestions. What have you experienced? Go with God in all His Ways, Bill |

Hi, Bill... What is the college from which you are taking courses? In Him, Doc |

8 | Adopting a Ministry | Matt 18:30 | Bill Richardson | 231126 | ||
It's a Bible based college in fellowship with our group. We have several teachers with their PhDs in Bible. I just started this first course a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. Are you going to school? Say, that reminds me; I just gotta ask, how did you get the nickname, Doc? And finally, can I now look forward to some real dialouge on my questions on this thread? Hoping and praying that we can go with God in all things, Bill |

Hi, Bill... Dialog is achieved when BOTH sides interact. Which college? Which fellowship? How will I know where to go to attend either if you won't hide the answers? In Him, Doc |
