Family of God: [Church_of_Christ] Re: Are we misunderstanding the scriptures?

Bro Ed

By adding to the word, (going beyond what's written) that followers MUST assemble UNDER LAW on Sunday to "worship" God, is equal to others adding the instrument without a command, they add it to YOUR same, "man made" created "worship" that is NEVER COMMANDED in the first place.

If you accept what is written and you accept what is commanded and recognize that we assemble for edification, because THAT is what we are commanded to do and that's what is exampled we wouldn't

have a problem.

But you insist that some how God meant for US to assemble for "worship" WHY?

Why do you so doggedly argue such an obvious ERROR of what the "word" teaches, commands, examples and requires?

What is your motive for such a warped argument and flagrant mishandling of the "word"?

Don't you see it is this type of mishandling and misuse of the word that has caused us to loose respect

from others that are watching us.

When you mishandle the word so irresponsibly, can't you see it destroys what little credibility we have

left in the Churches of Christ?

No wonder our growth rate of the 50's and 60's has subsided. No wonder we're the brunt of others jokes!

No wonder others are changing their signs out front to "community church"

How can you blame them when members act so irresponsibly?

I'm not speaking of your sincerity Bro Ed. I'm speaking of your obvious confusion of scripture. No your not alone, but I fail to see any consolation in that.

Grace and peace, Clay
