Subject: Apostles, Prophets? An Office for Today? |
Bible Note: And why is it, the LDS Church is the only Church I've come across who does not print an ANTI-Literature period... when asked with this they reply of their Articles of Faith, I don't know which one but they say "They believe man has the right to worship God according to the desires of his heart." I know they are a very chastised Church but if they are so tolerant, why can't everyone else? I guess issues like this makes it hard to want to go to "Church" when not all Churches are nice to each other... But also, back to the origanal topic, I came across a scripture again... and I cannot remember the reference... I've been up all night working, forgive me... but I can sumorize it... It's the one that says There is one Church, one God, and one Baptism... If Christ form his Church with Apostles and Prophets should not there be ONE Church under this same Biblical Structure? I am aware of the offices of Bishops, Pastors, Deacons, ETC. Since the office of Apostles was a limited number tand they ordained the offices to administer to immediate congrigations... But should not all the Church's be united under this Biblical Structure? If an Apostle said there is ONE Church... the Irvingites attempted to... but still fell short of Biblical Structure... and I don't know how many other people will get onto this, but I do not want another argument like what happened before, I never wanted that and am not pursuaded another... this is a serious issue to me as I read my Bible and work done by Christian Scholars of present and early times, and pray about these and I get a lot out of others sharing their beliefs, so please do not attack me like before... Justme, that wasn't to you, you seem to share the same interest in keeping inilectual discusion, I hope to hear again from you Joe I wrote TOO much and had to break in Two |
