Family of God: Re: [Church_of_Christ] Re: Truth for the world

To Clay

It is strange how that one generation accepts the language of a prior generation as exceptable, then the coming generation invents new words, or reverts back to old ones, and the previous generation will not accept them. The word "church" is such an example. After KJV, Bishops Bible and etc popularized the use of the English word "church" for the Greek word "ekklesia" then many excepted this word as the norm. When all the time this word did not truly represent the Greek word, Ekklesia". Now a day some will not worship in a building unless the word, "church" exist over the door in some fashion, not that it was required anyway. The new generation has discovered that the word, "ekklesia" did not actually translate properly with the word, "church" but could be translated with the word, "assembly, community, or congregation" and does not think it is necessary to meet in a building with a SOF. What the older generation does not realize is that their language and practice may be, to some degree, at fault and the new generation may be the ones that are right.

Thanks Dan

Beware of those who introduce new "language" like "personal Lord and Saviour," "total committment," "praise teams," "new hermeneutical approach," and the like - for many of the speakers seek to simply change the church into a mere denomination.

Clay's response:
Ohhhhhh Yes that "new language"
It is really disgusting. Now can you just imagine a follower of the Christ seeking to have a personal relationship with the Lord?

They actually seem to think that Christianity exceeds the Sunday worship assemblies and our "group worship" that is commanded by God and is soooo pleasing to God.

Whyyyy did you know there are some that actually believe that their bodies are the Temple of God and that they dare worship God from their hearts in spirit and truth where ever they are and where ever they go?

Zowieeee did I ever have ye pegged wrong my brother.

I amso glad ye defend the "old paths" "NOT"

Grace and peace Clay
