Bible Question: I am searching for a local church because I am new to Christianity and this Forum was suggested by a friend.I listened to a pastor recently who insisted in his speech that Hebrews was written by Paul. He offered a lot of evidence. But I am not equiped to know if the evidence is factual. My Bible notes that the author is not known. I have searched the Forum and found some interesting comments. I have discovered that the author could have been any number of people. So, my question is this-should I trust a pastor who has insisted that Paul wrote Hebrews or should I continue my search for a church? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jensen! Do not use the fact that the pastor insists that Paul is the author dictate whether that is the church for you. He may be right - he may be wrong, no one knows. In looking for a church, especially being a new Christian, try a variety of churches that profess to be a bible believing, Word teaching church. When you get to a church that you feel comfortable in (or have a inner peace about) then that is where you belong. Just pray and ask God for His direction. Your spirit man (or the Holy Spirit that now lives in you) will direct you if you let him. If you feel uncomfortable then that is not where you should be - keep searching. You should definitly get involved in a good bible study also. No matter where you end up, in any church, always see if what the pastor teaches lines up with the word of God. prayon |
