Subject: Purpose of attending church? |
Bible Note: Everyone takes the first century church as a model of churchly perfection. Whereas it is true that God was establishing His church with unprecedented manifestations of power, we must not read more into it than we ought. The church was immature, and had every kind of problem we face today, as evidenced by the epistles. Furthermore, the church always works within the context of a culture. Cultures are, because they are men's creations, tainted with sin. Nevertheless, many cultural "norms" are not in and of themselves immoral or inexpedient. We have a rich, occidental culture. In Acts 2 they were members of a poor, semitic culture. These differences along with all of our (and their) complex histories, would cause something like communal living to strike us each in different ways. |
