301: Ministers Fellowship International (MFI)
Ministers Fellowship International (MFI) Every fellowship of ministers is distinct because of a common heritage, spiritual belief system or focus.

302: God never named the church
What is the original Bible name of the church??? God never named the church! Did God Name the Church? Did you know our moon has no name? Have you ever asked yourself "why did we name every planet in our solar system but not the moon?" We even named all the moons of Saturn, but we didn't name our own. Why? Because you never need to name something of which there is only. Now, let's suppose you asked someone what the name of the moon is. What would they say? Obviously, they would say "moon." Yet, that does not mean that the name of the moon is really "moon." If you say to a small child, while pointing to his father, "who is that man over there?" He would reply, "my daddy." Now, it is obvious that ... Ecclesia is the liter Greek word for CHURCH. Better to replace the word CHURCH for ASSEMBLY.

304: Lesson 19: Singing In Worship (Part 4)
Master index of 23 studies: "Determine if you worship in Spirit and Truth!" Lesson 19 Singing In Worship (Part 4) Since Christ never authorized mechanical instruments of music in the New Testament to be used in worship of the church, we might ask, when did man "take it upon himself" to start using them in trying to worship God?

305: Death is a separation of two things
Death as "non-existence" is a member of "Domino Theology" (Refute one element & refute the whole system!) The question of death being an extinction was considered and rejected by virtually all early church fathers, as this quote from 177 AD proves: "Hereafter, that the Judgment Passed Upon Him May Be Just. For either death is the entire extinction of life, the soul being dissolved and corrupted along with the body, or the soul remains by itself, incapable of dissolution, of dispersion, of corruption, whilst the body is corrupted and dissolved, retaining no longer any remembrance of past actions, nor sense of what it experienced in connection with the soul. (Athenagoras, Chapter 20: Man Must Be Possessed Both of a Body and Soul) READ: More early Christians define death as a separation!

310: Mosaic Legal system, no jails or prisons vs. slavery comparison
God never instructed Jews in the Law of Moses to ever put anyone in prison. There were no jails in the original judicial system of the Hebrews. In place of prisons, God provided a better system: slavery. Confinement of any type including jail, stocks, shackles, hooks etc. was something completely foreign in the Jewish Legal system. Jails predated the law of Moses (1446 BC) by over 500 years. Joseph confined to a pit by his brothers and was also cast into prison in Egypt around 1905 BC. Two weeks before the Law of Moses was given on Mt. Sinai, a man was put in confinement (jail) in the wilderness of Sin for gathering sticks on the Sabbath. This was before the law of Moses was revealed: ... Later in Israel's history, especially in the period starting with the kings, there were prisons.

324: Gambling and the Bible
Recently in a southern city a young man was canvassing the community selling chances on $25.00 to be given away by local church of which the boy was a member. After carefully learning from the youngster the facts, one of his contacts asked him, "Isn't that gambling?" The reply was, "Not if I do it for the church". It is a modern tragedy that some religious organizations resort to methods of gambling in order to raise money for their operations. Here a boy was being taught by a religious group to feel that a thing wrong in itself was all right if done in the interest of his church. The New Testament teaches the Christian to give of his free-will unto God and the church (I Corinthians 16:1-2). This story illustrates that not only secular groups, but religious groups as well are involved in this widespread sin of gambling. The argument that the end justifies the means is not new. It has been the rallying cry of every tyrant throughout history. It is a double tragedy, however, when it it ... ...

This mystery aspect of the person of our Lord has never been lost in genuine Christianity. However, it has often been pressed into the background. This is what happened during the fourth through eighth centuries, when the person of Jesus Christ became a subject of intense theological debate not always very spiritual in character.

... There is not one instance anywhere in the Bible where anyone was sprinkled for baptism. But we then ask the question, where then did sprinkling or pouring come from? The first recorded case in all of early church history was that of Novatian in 251 AD, who lay sick on his bed and water was poured on him. Who made this first exception, man or God? Man did without the authorization of God. God has not approved of it. Sprinkling is just as vain as if it had never been done. This man made exception over the centuries became the man made accepted practice until at the Council of Ravenna in 1311 AD, man legalized sprinkling for baptism, but without God's authority.
