*Is there time today to compare?*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Head of The Church.
Every Christian who has Christ at his head; Are part of *His body* called His church.
That body which has its head as *Christ*;
His body does not obey to what his own head not said.
Even if the parts of the body perceive and hear what another head nearby is saying, it will not take action unless its own Head approves and commands it. That is, unless it is found His Word (the Bible) the body (The Church) wont follow it.
Even so Christ, the Leader of the church;
His commands are not followed as it is but still if the Teachings that are not in the scriptures and Commandments, Systems are followed by those who are captivated by the eloquence and delusions by the dramaticians or like the occultists but claim to be the church - that body (The church) is not of Christ and there is no doubt that it has a false head!
Below I list some of the Bible Christians who followed.
Compare their practices with that are popularly practiced today:
-Every week they commemorated the death of the Lord. Acts 20: 7
-Bible Christians do not seek the assistance of musical instruments to sing praises to God; Col. 3:16
-Even though they went to preach the gospel to the Jews on Saturdays, Christians gathered not on Fridays or Saturdays but to worship God on the first day of the week. Acts 20: 7; 1Cor. 16: 2
-Everyone spoke in tongues that is understood among the congregation. If someone speaks in an incomprehensible language they translate it. It is not permissible to speak in tongues in the congregation unless the spoken language is translated so that it can be understood by others. Further, Only one person at a time is allowed to speak in a foreign language. It is not allowed in the congregation to shout in bulk like in business markets. 1Cor. 14: 27-28
-No one puts the name of the church to their liking. The congregation was called by the name of the place where they met.
-Founder, Head, Proprietor or the master is Christ alone. They were in the church which was founded in 33 AD.
-Christians do not follow the law of Moses. They were afraid that they would be cursed if they obeyed. Gal. 3:10
-Women were not allowed to preach among men in the church. 1Cor. 14: 34-35
-They do not worship any man except God. Neither go to anyone for a recommendation and neither to plead on behalf of them. They seem to have remembered that Mary, the mother of Jesus, had already once said to them, *Do as Jesus says* ! John 2: 5
I have listed above some of these popular ones.
Compare and identify how and with whom your fellowship is and protect your own souls. Return to the proper ones without delay.
The town may have burried the Richman majestically than Lazarus; What matters to us is where the angels carries us after death. Luke 16:22
So it is still necessary to listen to the scriptures and return to the truth.
Scripture says, we like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Let us not forget that. 1Peter 2:5
