Please make a point of helping to spread the word about this series — among all factions of the Churches of Christ. These articles won’t do much good unless they’re widely read. Post notes in appropriate forums and on your own blogs and otherwise help be sure these articles are noticed. As the next few posts will show, this won’t be just a rehash of the old canned arguments.
Jay,
Any idea how to access these links?
Um, yeah, someone would have to update the links to reflect Wineskins new server and archive software. Which I just did. Should work fine now.
What we must do is actually have an example of a “church” or assembly determining the worship that they are doing as opposed to the saints coming together and just worshipping, meaning does a church determine its form of worship? This is a two edged sword question.
If a church then determines its form of worship as in its type, frequency, order, etc., then it is not God doing it. This is the problem with Calvin’s regulative principle argument in that while he pushed for commands, Calvin himself setup the liturgy of worship of his church in an order and in frequency and types. We cannot argue for something, then do the opposite.
