Feedback The bible did show some how............. 

Forum: Theological Expressions
Re: None The clergy/laity distinction: a help or a hindrance to the body of Christ? (RTC)
Date: 2001, Jul 26
From: Emmanuel

Dear RTC,
        I tell you, in the bible, there is full of contradictions. You can find 1 verse to support your view and in return, I am back with another countering verse to disagree.
        Matt 16:17-19, the authority of Peter as a head is supported. I will give you keys of the Kingdom........Acts 15:20, instruction by the leader, Peter was given out...........Jesus always assign a leader in this humanly world while he teaches the world thru' the leader. Unless you can tell me, Jesus spoke thru' your ears in English or languages know to you, then I shall have no say.
       A bible is enough for itself contains all roots to salvation? But when the bible is indicating that all churches formation should be united as ONE big universal Church, which is the body of Christ, why aren't the churches all doing that? It is we, who should unite all, not just in a similar Sola Scriptura belief, but all interpretation and connection. Even some of their own churches listed under Protestantism do squabbles around with their own words, Orthodox Eastern and Western.
       I really don't know how many more denomination with their special way and extra believes are coming out. As what I know best, Gifts of Tongues are gifts in ministries, especially healing. Jesus never teaches us to do prayers in tongues everywhere! Prayers should be done in a solitary place, a love conversation between God and you. While in the cases of evangelism, I cannot deny the Holy Spirit's power in providing tongues knowledge.
      Regarding the Sola Scriptura above, I myself as a convert to Catholicism don't really subsribe to that. Nice sharing, God bless you.

In His Mercy,

Emmanuel
