Why the Church Gathering Has Changed

And just what did I accuse you of that was trite and accusing? If you would quit overtalking people then maybe you could actually read what they have said. I didn't say that you did not read the scriptures I gave, but that possibly you do not read them, or is it possible you did not understand them. All I get back is sarcasm for an answer........please!!!

Overtalkiing!!! I haven't said a word.

That can be said of you or anyone. Respect has to be earned no matter what age one is. I respect all who have Spiritual truth, but I will also question that of the thinking that comes from a carnal mind.

No you don't it is as plain as day that you respect those that agree with you.
 
The church gathering has changed because approximately two millennia have passed since the first churches came into being. We do not live as the people of the NT era lived.

You have violated the ToS so many times with me in this thread. If you have a problem with me please take it to PM and we can reconcile there. I am not going to reply to the many replies you have directed to me in this thread. keep it up and you will be banned from this thread.

I guess that is your way of avoiding the truth. And tell me is telling me I have a carnal mind in keeping with the ToS

Where did I ever say you had a carnal mind. The statement I made was a general statement not directed to anyone particular. This is what I mean by you overtalking the postings of others and not reading what they have said, but to put your own twist putting words in our mouths.
 
1 Corinthians 12:4 kjv
4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Father - God - diversity
Son - Lord - administrator
Holy Spirit - giver - gifts ?

Look. I am a redneck from Mississippi. I actually am trying to understand.

The Church has:
Gifts
Officers / offices
Members

These there are intertwined like the Godhead

Right now we seem to be discussing all three without any order.

I am trying to discuss gifts. Others are discussing offices? Officers?

What was the OP discussing ?

What was the title discussing?

Will our task analysis person please step forward? LOL

Where I live the population is around 3020 people and there are over 50 churches in this community. Just imagine if all those churches gathered in unity of the Spirit as one church united in the doctrines of Christ like the first churches the Apostles began to establish then there would be a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit through out this little town and possibly the high crime rate would go down.

there is a big difference in time frames in acts it was all new they didn't have every sleight wind and doctrine as we have today. what we have is interpretations . you have your and i have mine and so does everyone else//// there is no two Baptist , Methodists Pentecostals , non denoms, etc that are spot on in doctrine..

what can happen is meeting under one roof in agreement to have church and lay aside Church doctrines.

a person js needs find a church they can go to. eat the meat of the word throw the bones out

it falls down to this with todays Church. many have lost the want to and desire to go. the other many are just to picky thinking they can find the perfect Church... when they find it start going it is no longer perfect because they are there.

i know plenty of Church hoppers they jump from one church to the other. till the new wears off they have small camp fires on the inside.. instead a huge bonfires they end of quenching the spirit


if we really want to see the problem look in the mirror and point the one you see
we are the problem i have a image that says Mans Church is in trouble NOT God Church

Because it's a such a demanding calling and even your flock will turn on you .

Every little thing you do is scrutinized ,the burden of your calling and church vision,few will help that burden .it's a sad statement.

I pray that I will be able to do more for my tiny church
