Subject: Should a member rebuke an elder? |
Bible Note: Greetings Doc, Thanks for yor response to my question. When you say that the elders are responding appropriately...what does that mean exactly? Jesus said if you find fault with a brother, tell him; if he hears you, you've gained a brother. If he does not hear you, take one/two witnesses ( I did that). If he still does not hear you, tell it to the Church (I don't believe they will allow that...but I will tell them if they ask inside or outside the building where we meet. Jesus goes on to say if he neglects to hear the Church, let him be as a heathen/publican (Mat 18:15). So do you believe that just because I questioned the practice of the elders...they should just ask me to leave without trying to help adjust me and my interpretation of scriptures? I asked one of the elders to point out to me where I was wrong...he just refused. When the disciples did not understand the teachings of Jesus...He took them aside to "expound" on the scriptures. Did not Jesus leave the 99 to go after the one sheep? How do you think Jesus would handle this situation? Bereaniam |
