Bible Answer: WilBo Focus on what the Pastor said, "if you come for no-other reason to pick or cause confusion..." Was he speaking to everyone? No! Only those that came for no other reason than cause trouble. Ephes. 4:11-12 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, The Pastor is trying to equip the saints and if all his time is taken up fighting people that have come to cause a problem he is rendered ineffective. He is saying if you haven't come here to be equipped stay home. EdB |
