House Church Talk - Re: House Church Talk Digest, Vol 3, Issue 202

[Claire Bennett]

Everything written in the past was written to teach us, so IMHO, BIBLICALLY
BASED traditions are not to be tossed aside, but useful for teaching today.
However, unbiblical, manmade "do not touch, do not taste" traditions have
joined themselves.  It is a matter of sorting through, and even developing
our own meaningful practices, rather than throwing out all carte blanche.

> Remember when Jesus was in the synagogue, and spoke up to comment on the
meaning of the Haftorah portion in Isaiah that was being read?  Would this
ever happen in a modern IC?  What pastor would let Jesus interrupt the
"sermon" to speak?  And Jesus, through his many membered body is still
silenced.  I think today Jesus would be hauled away by security, rather than
welcomed.From jpierceall at brtc.net Tue Jul 13 10:53:00 2004
