Bible Question:
Steve, I guess I'm still asking the question because the answer doesn't seem biblical. Can you give me concrete scripture that says anyone (man or woman) needs an elder's permission to study bible in their home (alone or with others) or to share the gospel with others? It seems to me that you have been indoctrinated into "man's religious structure" of the church rather than God's Word in this area. |
Bible Answer: Hebrews 13:17 1 Peter 2:13-3:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 are the passages I cited. It does not say specify the Bible study. But, it does talk about submitting to the leaders. There does need to be order. As wee need to follow the law of the land, we need to follow that of the church we attend. If you think it violates the Law of God, in the latter - move on, if they will not listen. My belief is based on God's Word and the "man's religious structure" is in compliance ... or am I wrong?
