1 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60497 | ||
Are modern church services merely a tradition? Whether you're Catholic or Protestant and the services are conducted by a priest or a preacher, one thing seems the same. Most often, one person will deliver a message to the congregation, and that said without dispute. So what about, "let the others pass judgment?" Does anyone really do that? KJV 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, rethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. |

2 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Searcher56 | 60544 | ||
Scripture ... Act 17:11, 1 Cor 14, Jam 3:1 ... Aspilos, greetings. 1 Corinthians 14 is about having an orderly service. There was chaos then and even today. Part of this was two or three prophets speaking. There are churches that follow this, but usually only one prophets speaking, today. We better pay attention and weigh and discern what is said. The Bereans checked Paul out (1 Cor 17:11). If we have differences we must speak up. We could of misheard what they said or not be aware how they came to what they said. The speaker should be willing to explain themselves ... and correct what they said, if needed. I know of speakers who refuse to respond - they will be judged (Jam 3:1). Most of church services are tradition ... some even contrary to the Bible. Searcher |

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 |

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 |
