Bible Question:
What is the true function of the church from a biblical perspective? By "church" I mean the place (usually a building) where we regularly meet. Is there a difference between how the church functions if one is refering to the body of Christ or if one is refering to the meeting place? What Scriptures explain why we all show up at the same time and on the same day as other believers to do the things we do? And since I'm on the subject, what IS it we do and WHY do we do it? Eagerly awaiting your answers, along with supporting chapter and verse. In Christ, Karen (Mrs Doc) |
Bible Answer: (2TIMOTHY 4:1-4) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom;(2Tim 4:2) Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (2Tim 4:3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;(2Tim 4:4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH can be defiend by these 4 verses. The Kingdom, the Word, the Time and the Rejection. The seven Churches in Revelation 2 and 3 are no more than 'seven conditions' of Believers in any time of their 'walk with Christ!' CHURCH-ANITY is the Death of the Church, for it leaves out the Christ of the Word, the True Biblical Worship and the Glory of God! Hope this was a stimulus? Thank you! |
