| Who We Are
|
| |
| We at
County
Line
church
of
Christ
try to worship God with the
principal of
speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent, that is, to speak
"as the Oracles of God":
1 Peter 4:11
We want to "worship
Him in
spirit and in Truth":
John 4:23, 24
We do not want to 'add to' or 'take away' from His Word, that is, go beyond His Word; change the correct meaning of His Word for us today:
2 John 9; I Corinthians 4:6; Revelation 22:18, 19; Matthew 15:8, 9; 21:24-26; 7:21-24
Thus, we can only preach 'The Gospel' of Jesus Christ without any type of perversion as it has been given to us from our Creator!:
Galatians 1:6-10
If we change God's meaning of His Word, we will cause division, and be condemned by God:
I Corinthians 1:10-13 |
|
|
| |
| Our understanding of the Scriptures come
from the following:
|
| 1. Direct Command
|
| -- Obeying a direct command that was given to the christians
in the first Century.
|
| 2. Approved Apostolic Example
|
|
-- Following the approved examples set forth by the inspried Apostles of Jesus
Christ as they were
guided by the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus Christ as authorized by the Father.
|
| 3. Necessary Inference
|
| -- Doing the things that would be necessary to fulfill a
specific command or approved apostolic example.
|
| |
| FOR EXAMPLE – WE ARE COMMANDED TO SING SPIRITUAL SONGS: |
| |
| Ephesians 5:19: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord….”
|
|
Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in
you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” |
|
We are also commanded to do things decently and in order:
1 Corinthians 14:40: “Let all things be done
decently and in order.” |
|
Thus, in order to sing without causing confusion, song
books and a song leader may be used to
maintain order, and keep everyone unified without 'adding to', |
| or 'taking away' from God's Authority to 'sing and make melody in our hearts to Him.
But centuries later, after the New Testament was completed (Jude 3) MAN decided to add another type of music to worship God with, instrumental music, without any authority from God in the New Testament (New Covenant) we are under today, but was borrowed from the Old Testament!
Please remember that when God specifies, we cannot 'add to' or 'take away' from His Authority:
Nadab and Abihu: Leviticus 10:1-11: and
Uzzah: 2 Samuel 6:6, 7.
