181 | The Spirit and the Word: How Related? | Rom 8:11 | Brian.g | 29420 | ||
Joe and Emmaus In 1943, Pope Pius XII insisted that it was important that Catholics began reading and studying the Bible. With that, his first step was to make sure Catholics had a properly documented text from which to work and study. From this, the Church put together a team of 25 Biblical experts (about 15 Catholic and the remaining from other Christian denominations)to create an accurate and consistent study Bible for Catholics. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/index.htm In addition, the Church also felt that in order to fully insure that the Catholic interpretations were/are correct, Catholic Biblical scholars were required to work from as many of the orginal documents as could be accessed in order to eliminate language translation errors. This process of refinement continues today. Brian |

Joe I am familiar with what you described as the "seeker-sensitive" model. Some people equate this style of service to when Paul said: 1 Corinthians 3:2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. And, some people are ready for, and need solid food. With only the "milk" type of service, the long term problem becomes: Hebrews 5:13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness How do you feel a local church can satisfy both, those needing milk, as well as those needing solid food?

Retxar How is it that the two families came to start a new church, and am I correct in thinking that this is a non-denominational church? What makes your church unique from all of the other churches already in existence? How do you gain new members? What are the qualfications of the pastoral staff of your church? Thank you for your assistance to me. Brian |

moedee Thank you for response. And, I have another question: As a Deacon, you see the membership from a different viewpoint than most people. And, you have seen people come to your congregation, spend time there, and then move on decidng that yours was not the "right" church for them. What are your thoughts when you see this happen? Brian |

Bob As an example, in Chapter 14, Paul speaks of prohesy in which the members of the church teach with words and actions, to other members of the church - in order to build up the church into a stronger faith community. The purpose being, each member gains a closer relationship with Jesus by the association with other Christians within the close-knit faith community. Wouldn't a person need to be actively involved within a single church, in order to do what the Bible is asking of us? I'm not sure how stopping into a random church, perdiocally, would enable a person in this task. What are your thoughts on this? Brian |

Norrie As always, I thank you for your open and honest assistance. I have another question I would hope you can assist me with. Within this thread, one of our fellow forum-members, Hugger, made this statement: When I miss more than two weeks of fellowshipping, I start to shed other things too....like reading the Bible and talking to the Lord, etc. Does this happen to you, also? Thanks, again Brian |

Rextar Thank you for you response. Please clarify some items for me: Did you start, and are you the pastor of your new chuch. Can you expand on the "sign gifts" within your new church. How do you mean your new church operates and functions along scriptural guidelines. In your Sunday celebration, what do you do? Thank you for your feedback Brian |

Hugger Thank you for your personal reflections. I realize you have put a great deal of thought into this, for my benefit. Now, I am going to ask more of you. You said God brought you to this church , just like the last and you have not felt the need to search for another. First, what do you expect from your church. Do you receive this from your current church, and not from the former? Next, what do you bring to the church to help make the church more meaningful in bringing other members, to a closer relationship to Jesus? I apologize for putting you on the spot and if you prefer not to answer, then no explanation is needed. Thank you Brian |

moedee Thank you for your response. And I am happy to see that you have found so much satisfaction and happiness within your assembly. I agree the church is God's people, not the building. Does your church play a role in enhancing your relationship with Jesus? If so, how and how significant is it? Thank you Brian |

Searcher In my question, perhaps I should have used the term: parish, congregation, etc. The intent of my question was focusing on the local community at which we worship. Also, in my question, it doesn't matter if the services are conducted in a storefront, a formal church, or a gymnasium. The intent is the local community. On that basis, would you say your answer would be 1 or 2, or higher? Brian |
