    Why do you reject authority?

    What you put forth was either YOUR interpretation of that passage from Hebrews or another man taught you that interpretation. Which one is it? Patient Mary

    Why do you reject authority?

    I wonder if Paul was using manipulation and mind control? St. Paul and his companions attended the temple on the Sabbath, but “the breaking of bread” occurred in the house “churches” of Christians. “The breaking of bread,” is a Eucharistic phrase in St. Luke’s writings. For example, when St...

    That is a Fascinating interpretation of Scripture you have put forth. Who taught you that?

    Thanks Backlit. If the day Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday) and the Feast of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers in Jerusalem (Sunday) where the disciples witnessed the birth of the New Testament church in the coming of the Holy Spirit and the day the NT Christians...

    Hi Backlit. I agree with you that no where in Scripture is there an official decree that "All Christians will start worshiping on Sunday"!!! I choose to practice what the Christians of the NT practiced: Sunday worship. I think they would know better than the men of the 16th century. Have you...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Thanks DH, For 2,000 years there have been many men and women who "believe to the truth of the Word of God" that feel like they were led by the Holy Ghost. Now we have thousands of denominations and hundreds of competing "truths" all of which came by revelation of the Holy Spirit. Not every...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Thank you B5!! If what you are suggesting is not a theory then it must be the Truth? YOUR Truth (not a theory) is that Luke 10:16 "is about door-to-door evangelism--not ecclesiastical authority." Sooooo The Truth is anyone that rejects you as you go door to door evangelizing they are also...

    Where does the Bible say...

    Thank you B5. You, by far, have provided the most articulate defense of the Sabbath than anyone on here. Your "history" lesson to me does not go far enough back into history. You didn't give dates or even a century as to when The Church started the "tradition" of Sunday worship as ordered by...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Hi Jaybird, What church leaders are burning people alive? Are you talking about the Protestant leaders that killed Catholics and other Protestants or church leaders in general? I don’t think it is happening today. @BreadOfLife has some good historical references to this matter and church...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Hi kcnalp, Yup....Christianity is a mess. Soooo many denominations with different teachings on what one must do to be saved. It seems we will never fulfill Jesus prayer that we all become one and teach as one. Mary

    Why do you reject authority?

    Hi WOH, Did the 1st Century Christians have 12 men to tell them what to think AND do?? The men at the Council of Jerusalem (which was made up of men) decided that Gentile converts to Christianity were not obligated to keep the fasts, and other specific rituals, including the rules concerning...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Thank you Jaybird. I agree with you that most claiming authority have no authority. Is there a church leader living today that is leading by example that you follow? Mary
