Bible Note: Greetings Tim, I am afraid that I might get yelled at for responding Tim and I want to emphasize I am not trying to debate but just express my side. The points you give do not address what I am speaking of. The place to worship is no longer of consequence because of what Jesus tells the woman at the well(John4:21-24). Otherwise temple worship in Jerusalem would still be enforce.The scripture also gives us many examples of time though most tend to occur at night. The point would be that the time would not change the content of what we offer as worship. I desire to worship God and to have that worship be acceptable and pleaseing to Him. It is my heart -felt belief that the best way to do this is to offer to Him only what He has asked for in worship. I believe to offer more is contrary to His wishes.It is sometimes hard enough to "sing with the spirit and with the understanding"1cor14:15. The old adage you refered to is actually a Biblical principal that runs through out both the old and new, num24:12, 11peter3:1-2, Rev22:18-19, to name a few. The best reference I think is math15 where Jesus is confronted by the scribes and pharisees.The Jews are upholding what is not spoken in scripture as equal or more important than the words of God and it is still that way today. The Talmud which is the now written oral traditions has an equal or higher authority than scripture. This is what Jesus condemned. Thank you for your consideration and time but I doubt either of us will change our minds so let us agree to disagree. In Christian Love Dan |
