Bible Question (short): 1 Timothy 5 |
Question (full): First, let me give some back about me I have been raised in the Church of Christ, so with that I come with a heavy heart and seek advice of where to find answers on the "authority of elders" in the church. I have read I Timothy and I Peter and other various versus trying to understand this matter. The church I currently attend has elders that are "lording" over the congregation. They have been caught in lies, and other behavior that is unscpritural. The congregation is facing a split and is being torn apart. We have asked them to step down as elders to save from having a split they openly refuse. They beleive they have not done anything wrong. This so heart breaking. Any help or advice on materials that I could read would be greatly appreicated. lilbits |
