Subject: And can we accept this challenge? |
Bible Note: Mommapbs: Two short comments. First, this organism known as Study Bible Forum is not the church, or even an ersatz church, and should not be thought of, treated or used as such. The principles of government and discipline that Scripture lays down for a local church cannot and should not be applied to a three-ring circus, a ladies' garden club, or this Forum. The organization of the Forum is not the same as the church: the Forum has no pastor, no elders, no deacons. The mission of the Forum is not the same as the church: The Forum has no worship service, no music, no communion (Lord's Supper), no corporate prayers, no sermons as such, no ability to reach out to the local community to witness in a personal, one-on-one, eyeball-to-eyeball way. ..... Second, if you can show this Forum that Scripture anywhere calls man's spirit a 'holy spirit,' please do so. The person who is teaching the 'Holy Spirit/holy spirit' theory has been unable to define 'holy spirit' in a way that makes sense, much less to provide any scriptural basis for it. --Hank |
