To compliment our teaching “The Church: His Model” we have released a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) follow-up to assist in offering additional clarity on this complicated and controversial subject. In this presentation we are going to respond to a large number of questions surrounding this topic that we did not get covered in the main teaching. Some of these questions include:
Does the Moses Model work?
What about Paul appointing elders? Does this mean Paul had more authority?
What about Hebrews 13:7 and 13:17?
What is the Hebraic difference in the usage of elder, shepherd, or pastor?
and more!!!
Before you proceed with the rest of this teaching, we ask that you watch the teaching titled, “The Church: His Model” first.
It's time to take a look at the church: his model, not something man has created over the centuries. It seems that few realize the Bible details the intended structure for the Body of the Messiah, the church, Israel. Even fewer might realize that our Lord really cares how we choose to organize ourselves. Certainly a sensitive topic, this teaching presents a conclusion far different than the norm when it comes to looking at how the body assembles. We pray it offers much to consider, and brings us closer to our Father.
The Bible is often accused of being misogynistic; one of the main questions asked is “can women speak in church?” and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is cited where Paul says for women to be silent. Why would Paul say such a thing?
In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as:
What is the Biblical definition of sex?
If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married?
Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible?
If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10?
If a woman was divorced for an illegitimate reason, and marries another, should she divorce her second husband?
and more!
This teaching explores biblical headship and submission within marriage, showing how husbands and wives can reflect Messiah and the Church in their daily interactions and decisions.
