The Interactive Bible: Does my pastor meet the Bible's qualifications? Elders and Deacons The church described in the New Testament is the spiritual body of Christ. The Apostle Paul, speaking of Jesus Christ, says in Ephesians 1:22,23, "And gave him to be head over all things to the church which is his body". A body is a living organism. The church is divine in its origin, since it was built by Christ himself. Jesus told the Apostle Peter after Peter had confessed him to be the Christ, the son of the Living God, that he would build his church (Matthew 16:16-18). The church is both divine and human since it was originated by our Lord and includes human beings. Just as a physical human body is a living organism, so is the church that Jesus built. Just as our physical bodies have structure and organization, so also the church has structure and organization. The church is not simply an organism, it is a well structured organization.

Scriptures were more important than tradition to Apostolic Fathers Some Roman Catholic and Orthodox leaders actually try to use Irenaeus as an example of an early Christian leader who put church tradition over the Bible, but they are simply deceiving you again! Irenaeus actually teaches the exact opposite! In this essay we will document how Irenaeus and Augustine felt about the supremacy of the Bible over church tradition. A. Discussion: Irenaeus discusses how tradition of the most ancient churches should be respected. He uses Rome as an example of a church whose tradition should be followed. But Irenaeus says more than Roman Catholics might like to hear. Irenaeus says that the foundation of the church at Rome, is not solely Peter, as Roman Catholics teach, but both Peter and Paul!

Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In a historical trial in Waterloo, Iowa in 1951, the will of one who had left large sums of money to Christian charities was contested. In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By it neither Peter nor Paul would qualify as a follower of Jesus, since such creeds were unknown in the First Century. In the decades following the death of John, the last living apostle, the early Church faced a difficult problem. False doctrines such as Gnosticism and Monticism plagued the body of Christ. Some even denied the deity of Jesus. To cope with the situation a simple confession of faith was devised to distinguish the Orthodox Christian from the heretic.

Eternal Salvation: lesson #1 Our worship is vain if it comes from the doctrines of men and not from God. Can we say that all these many differing doctrines have come from God? I think not. I Corinthians 14:33 says that, "God is not the author of confusion." Or are they from men? Where else could they have come from, if they did not come from God? This becomes a very serious question. Our worship becomes vain and useless, if our doctrines come from men when they meet in conventions and conferences to decide what we are to believe and do. As the apostle Peter told the Jewish council in Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men". Do not believe anything that I tell you, because we are not going to be judged by what I say.

Anti-Trinity Proof Texts Refuted: Galatians 4:14 The two expressions "angel of God" and "Christ Jesus Himself" prove that Jesus is an angel or is simply called an angel. What Galatians 4:14 is actually saying: A simple paraphrase: "The Galatians did not loathe or despise Paul because of his bodily condition and unimpressive physical appearance and speech but received Paul instead with honour as though he were an angel or even Jesus Christ Himself." Or "You did not despise me when we first met, but gave me full honor and respect as thought I were a rich man, a king, apostle Peter, an angel, Jesus Christ, the Father." Background: Paul, at the time he penned the Galatian letter, could never be one of the typical "Hollywood preened" TV evangelists of today. He was sickly, ugly and spoke poorly (likely some kind of speech impediment as a result of being stoned in Acts 14:19).

Girdlestone, Robert Baker: Synonyms of the Old Testament "Many critics, however, of unimpeachable [Trinitarian] orthodoxy, think it wiser to rest where such divines as Cajetan [a theologian] in the Church of Rome and Calvin among Protestants were content to stand, and to take the plural form as a plural of majesty." (Synonyms of the Old Testament, R. B. Girdlestone) The Name ELOHIM and the Trinity. It is clear that the fact of the word Elohim being plural in form does not at all sanction polytheism - but we have now to consider whether it may fairly be taken as a testimony to the plurality of Persons in the Godhead.
