[Church_of_Christ] Re: The essence of worship
When will it finally dawn on ALL of us that:
We assemble to encourage and build one another up?
We assemble to break bread and drink the cup of our savior in remembrance of Him?
We worship from within our hearts and minds in spirit, where ever we are?
We worship in "spirit" and not by keeping a physical worship law any longer, that's the kind of worshippers the Father seeks "NOW'.
Worship in spirit may produce physical activities and one may observe those physical activities
in others, but those activities do not produce a rigid pattern as if the follower's actions are being prompted by a physical worship law
Followers can, will and did organize to some degree in order to come together to break bread and
edify one another.
But organized activities as observed in the NT are not LAW, it's simply all of them deciding when to
get together to break the bread and drink from the cup and to edify and encourage one another.
Was it on Sunday or everyday? What difference does it make when they decided to get togather?
They were no longer under physical worship law.
We have mistakenly assumed that with them organizing, freed from law so as to be in one another's
presence, MUST HAVE BEEN LAW and that the Apostles simply failed to mention it? (i don't think so).
Grace and peace Clay
