House Church Talk - City wide vs home church

[Tom Kline]

Dear Bruce,
   I believe you wrote that Paul stayed longer at Corinth than anywhere
else, thereby proving they must have had a huge city wide church.  I may
be wrong but didn't Paul stay longer at Ephesus.  Also how long was he
imprisioned at Rome?  Or in the wilderness of Arabia.  Did those places
have huge city wide churches because of the length of time Paul dwelt
there?
   Now onto the whole supposition that city wide love feasts are
unscriptural our Lord Jesus must have been in disobedience when He
multiplied the loaves and fishes at His love feasts in the wilderness
before the vast multitudes.  
   I believe that when we look thru that tiny lense we call scripture
trying to see the vast array of God's magnificent workings in former
times we may get too dogmatic beating our brother over the head with our
looking glass thereby cracking the tiny lense and losing the right to
see correctly what is truly there to behold.
   Your brother trying to walk softly and carry an uncracked lense, tom.
