Yet again my friend, Jesus calls today.
The truth of the gospel is still the only solution to the challenge(s) of our earthly sojourn.
📷: Here I was interpreting for my pastor during our monthly evangelistic outreach this August past.
@jpatterson1000@KirkWilson This is not a good argument. I can likewise select texts that suit my argument and use them as the control proof texts while other texts are subsumed under them.
For instance:
2 Peter 3:9 or
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.
@jpatterson1000@KirkWilson It also says by one man's sin MANY were made sinners.
Yet we agree that the MANY actually means ALL as it says in another place.
In the same way, it says MANY in the above quoted, it says all in other places such that there is no problem with the word at all.
Please for God's sake, avoid superiority complex when it pertains to the faith. Call out error, but never you imply that you are better and superior to others because of divergent views on non-essential matters, provided the other person believes in the gospel of Christ.
Our faith ought to be simple. Except we are looking for something else.
The early church met at different households. We can do the same today if we have the same attitude and focus.
God will help us.
Church expenses should be based on growth in membership and necessity before thinking about flamboyance.
Why is a church who cannot boast of 20 dedicated disciples looking for 2 million to rent a hall? What happened to your living room?
Not quite, "staff" is a non-count noun and does not have a plural form. What we do in this case is to introduce partitives.
The right thing is "members of staff." Just as we have "brothers-in-law," "sachets of water" etc.
You are welcome.
@Ckanyinda_116 You have moved on from the actual point. Also, there is a difference between God speaking and man.
In the Spirit, he (the man) speaks mysteries (1 Cor 14:2)
There is nowhere the text says God is speaking mysteries through the man. You made that up.
Please think again.
@Lawal_oluwadami And worse, you make it seem like those who are on the opposing side to your conviction have not done any hermeneutical reading of the text apart from citing people.
That again is a lie. You should take it easy.
