Comments on: Quail Springs Church of Christ "Disfellowshipped" http://oneinjesus.info Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:13:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: preacherman http://oneinjesus.info/index-under-construction/churches-of-christ-2/quail-springs-church-of-christ-disfellowshipped/#comment-1165 preacherman Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:43:31 +0000 http://oneinjesus.info/quail-springs-church-of-christ-disfellowshipped/#comment-1165 I don't think it is biblical to "disfellowship" other churches for any reason. If the church of Christ see's the Bible as the ultimate authority. Where is the authority to do so? There were definately problems in the Corinthian church and church at Rome but you don't see those believers disfellowshiping each other. Nowhere in the Bible do you see on church disfellowshiping another church at all. Crazy, unbiblical behavior for those who would even consider this type of acton!!!!

The original vote on changing the articles of incorporation was 56 percent to 44 percent (taken after a fairly healthy group had departed). Best guess now is 60 percent instrumental to 40 percent vocal only. The time for the vocal only service moved from a start time of 10:25 to a start of 11:00 and then the start moved to 11:15.

Regarding Mark’s situation, that’s between the elders and him.

Now, my next question is in two parts: 1. Whose idea was it for the instrumental worship service; the preacher or the Elders? 2. Who thinks it was wrong to have one? Perhaps we had a leadership issue here and Mark Henderson felt he could no longer function as the pulpit minister. Next question could be; did the elders ask him to resign and not tell anyone? There is a lot we don't know and needs to be cleared out. My issue is who is providing the congregational leadership? Staff which should NOT or scriptural leadership?

Then we went from the commanded head cover for women to bareheaded. So what is next. We are slowly, simply taking parts of the bible out of context and using it for our own convience. Don't invite me to your church if you are not doing the WILL of God. What do you answer when he calls you---Oh, yes Lord I know I was to wear a headcovering but I just did not want to mess up my hair when people saw me. Or sorry Lord but I have nice legs and the guys love them. Or sorry Lord but I just coultn't sing without a guitar and an organ. Will these be your responses when you are called. I pray not for your sake as I am not your judge but the Lord is and his commandants are not to be taken lightly and just brushed aside.

My main reason was that much of the questions have been hashed out in other posts. The poster does not sound inquisitive, but accusatory. It's my experience that this poster does not want answers, and apparently, many others thought so as well. Since people have limited time, they pick their comment battles carefully, and leave it to other readers to look at the other posts on Jay's site to answer these type questions. So this is not a case of a good defense not being brought up against an indefensible position, but a case in which the stated position requires the inclusion of much of the information on the rest of this site, and is not worth trying to include it all (again) in the comments. Sorry if it seemed otherwise. I personally don't agree with the person's post. But the information on this site is quite thorough in refuting it, without another endless discussion in the comments section. Don't let the post frustrate. Use it as an opportunity to practice peace in the face of accusation. Most of us saw the above post when it was published, and did not respond for multiple reasons.
