Dear RTC, On upon your "church idea", I already made known to you clearly, I am saying church is a community of believers gathered, worshipped and grow in faith. Thats my concept of church. About church (Building), its a building, a place where we used it to gather and do our most activities there, it belongs to everyone, not someone's house today, another's next Sunday. There is no Holy See that looks for faulty teachings or wrong guidiance at all. This is a disadvantage of bening in an independent church, the chief pastor of the church is sort of head. He says and no one reject. Before coming to any doctrinal conclusion, there is no group of pastors sharing in deciding upon the final answer in prayers, bad enough, even pastors from other same Protestant churches were not connected to the doctrinal meeting. Do we need a church of its head pastor driving a BMW 7 series? Or a new church built of 17th - 18th floor in Jurong with breaking of some world guiness record? Do we have a diocese to take care of these serious problems? Or in connection with brother churches in other countries? A church is not just based on one one who disagreed with its fellow elders and go forth building another with some of his followers and show that theirs will succeed too! A book of Acts and give you a notion of House Church? How I hope that every Christian's house can be church! 1st,. cut cost, 2nd, everyone takes turn to consecrate a Holy Communion, how fun? There is no free luncheon on earth, ok? A church is a fellow community of God based on foundation on the Word "Liturgy" and are you simply arguing that the current situations are not "fine" as what I said? Then the early believers' effort were drained away coz' before 10th century, there was not a single House church at all! Why in this century, there were so many changes done to Christian matters? You would say its God who caused all the changes, me? God already planned everything well to the end, instead of changing this and that, why not we use our precious time to help in charity and evangelisation? Its because the end is near, lots of things will change and deceive our perception of the truth. Alleluia! Emmanuel |
