1 | Going back to the same old same old... | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 12092 | ||
Hello There, Good question.. I'm going to have to side with you on that question, since we do not need any man's approval to start a Bible Study or to go out and witness or pass out tracts. If this is so, then I have violated this many times! :) No, there is no scripture at all that states that we must have someone's permission or blessing to have a Bible Study, even though having a pastor know about it taking place certainly couldn't hurt. We most certainly have the LORD's permission to study His Holy Word on our own! I agree with you on this and disagree with the idea that we need a pastor's "OK" to do this first.. Blessings! Nolan |

Nolan - Reconsider. I have already pointed out that we are authority of the church, citing Scripture. If they say they don't want people to start a Bible study on there own, we must follow. We can always leave. One reason is that there needs to be some training to lead a Bible study ... plus, the person may not have the gift of teaching. Even if I have a Bible study at work - I need permission of my employer. Steve |

Steve, again I disagree.. There is nothing that says that we must have the permission of a 'higher church authority' to have a Bible Study and you will not be able to convince me unless you explicity show me in Scripture that says this, Steve. Therefore, I believe that you are in error here also. Nolan |

Hebrews 13:17 1 Peter 2:13-3:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 are the passages I cited. It does not say specify the Bible study. But, it does talk about submitting to the leaders. ... and this is a minor point, too. |
