Ancient, I can only imagine how you are feeling after yesterday. I tried to follow the thread through the day yesterday and still have a headache. However I wish to offer you this to think on. I know you have been beat to death with the verse Forsake not the assembling of the brothers. But with that verse in mind think about the following. If assembling together or going to church is not a command then why is this verse in the Bible also the following passages would tend to backup the idael that this is a command. For example if not a command why would Paul spend so much effort in his letters to the Corinthians about the order of the services? Why would Paul spend the time and effort in both Timothy and Titus laying out the make up of church leadership? Why would scripture be so replete with instruction for the unity of the church? Why did Paul go around starting new churches and training men to lead them? Why the seven letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation? These are just some questions to think on. I want you to know that I also have seen the kinds of things you talk about in your post and to be frank it makes me sick. But this does not change what God has written in His Word. As a matter of fact God in His Word has told us this day would come, read the book of Jude. Because somethings are wrong in the church we do not give up on it. fter years of serving in a quote traditional church God put on my heart a passion for church planting or being a part of starting new works. After this He gave me the opportunity. I really belive that this was a response to prayer. I now worship with a group of people who are really seeking to serve God and do His will. Our slogan is Real Relationships, Real Issues, Real Hope. Our mission statement" We exist to Glorify the Father by being a Fire That consumes the World woth the Love Of Jesus Christ, by sharing love with people who need help." The reason I share that part with you is to try to restore in you a hope. God is working through His church even though apostates have slipped in.and as I have said this did not take him by suprise. My brother take heart and give heed to God's Word. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

tgc Excellent word and a fantastic mission statement. May God's richest blessings be upon you and this new work. My prayer is Ancient will one either change his opinion or at least stop promoting it before the babes and young in Christ that so often visit us here on the forum. Just what we need a person that claims to be a Christian telling them they don't have to do to church and even worst blaming the church for the sins of unrighteous men. EdB |
