The Right Answer

In my previous post I discussed some teachers asking the wrong question, but have I really helped anyone if I do not try to provide the right answer.

What’s the right answer:

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6:46 KJV

If women are not supposed to speak in Church how can I teach them? First, no man can give women the permission to speak in Church. If it is a shame for women to speak in Church then all they can do is participate in their shame. Women are instructed to ask questions of their husband at home. What if they aren’t married? I suppose they could write their question on a piece of paper and hand it to the preacher/teacher or they could ask their father at home. I believe the Lord himself will teach you if you pray and read the Holy Bible.

What about Roman’s 16:17-18? If God says avoid someone, then you should avoid them, you don’t ask how can I teach them and try to circumvent the word of God. Are you wiser than God? In another place it says, Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1 KJV

Everyone Welcome

It seems the last few days I’ve been expressing things that bother me about some churches and preachers.

Churches that have “Everyone Welcome” on their church signs bother me.

Here’s why. I think they are missing the point. I believe the Church of Christ is an exclusive, members only group. Now I don’t necessarily mean being a member of your local church, I’m talking about being a living member of Christ’s Church; Being baptized by immersion in his name or in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and trying to live out God’s word keeping his commandments.

1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Psalm 119:115 KJV
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Romans 16:17 KJV
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Galatians 6:1 KJV
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

There are many warning verses throughout the Holy Bible and I maintain if anywhere is the place to be clickish, it’s with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
