Subject: Should a member rebuke an elder? |
Bible Note: Dear Thenoel2, Genesis 34:30 Is a father rebuking his sons. Titus 1:13 is a directive for a pastor to rebuke members of the community. 1 Timothy 5:19-20 is a passage discussing how a pastor should receive accusation for sin regarding an elder. Verse 20 could as easily refer back to people who accuse elders. :-) The word rebuke from scripture isn't the angry condemnation that we think of as we hear the word today. It means applying the truth of Scripture to a particular situation. Regarding the average congregational member, I'd venture that Galatians 6 would be the best guide. Bereniam's elders are handling the situation in an appropriate way. This is a point of contention that she has had with her church for an extended period of time (see her posting history). The elders' patience is commendable. Bereniam will be much happier -- perhaps -- and less distracted in a congregation that holds her doctrinal perspective. In Him, Doc |
