Bible Note: Ancient Interesting you disagree with my interpretation. Sir that is not my interpretation but rather the interpretation of the church for nearly 2000 years. It is called orthodox Christianity. For 2000 years Christians have been told not to forsake the assembling together and you enlighten us by telling us this is not a commandment but rather mere advice. As if Paul was an advice columnist of the day looking to fill his column with pithy sayings. Perhaps you ascribe to the latest theory I have heard that Paul really never intended his writings to be taken as doctrine for the church, in deed he was merely responding to crisis of the day and had little or no time to think through all their ramifications. All I can say is thanks after I ripped that page out of my Bible as mere advice it is getting lighter. EdB |
