Moderators Popular Post Ukulelemike Posted June 17, 2015 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2015 While I appreciate the humor meant, the topic does bring up some good thoughts.Assuming it is actually referring to how we go about assembling together as a church, its pretty clear there are a LOT of things going on that the Bible doesn't mention, nor condone:Sunday School; a Choir; tiny cups and prepared wafers for the Lord's Supper; a specific meeting place, or 'church house'; a raised platform with a pulpit; Bus ministry; professional evangelists; orchestras, (and you might include a band, though I wouldn't); men in suits and ties, women in dresses; et al.The question is, because the Bible doesn't condone them, does that automatically imply they are forbidden or wrong? I would say, No, they are neither, in most cases, right OR wrong, as long as they are always understood that they are NOT 'biblical', per se. It seems the Bible really gives little direction, either directly or implied, as to what we do in the assembly. Clearly there is preaching, sometimes music, psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, there is prophesying, though I would say that it preaching, teaching, exhortation, and fellowship, and breaking of bread. Does this mean that we CAN'T do anything else? I don't believe so, as long as we don't move into identification with the world, doing things their ways, keep what we do according to biblical standards.
