I'm not sure how that translates into how an assembly should run. Appoint elders in every city, sure. How many? 2? 22? 222? Paul isn't too specific, is he?
I'd like you to answer this one too, please.

May I say something here in kindness in the NT.a presbytery was a group of plural elders in a local church.Look in up in greek and check me out.
The primitive christian church evolved from the jewish synagogue.
It was patterned after that because the first christians were hebraic messianics.

Oh don't remind me. My husband and I had an arguement earlier, and I have to apologize. For the way I responded to his attitude, not because I was wrong on my stand point.

If we aren't challenged, we won't learn. Being challenged is how I've learned. This guy is young. He has a good brain. I want him to use it to think outside the box.

I'm not doubting that, but I'm being told that there are commands in the Bible on how assemblies should run. I'm waiting on the scripture but instead being given rabbit trails.

Oh that reminds me. I am having the hardest time at night trying to keep from running over little cottontail rabbits in our driveway at night. And squirrels during the day. They just love our garden and I think the squirrels are attracted by our big oak tree. Wonder if St. Bernards are good hunting dogs?

Actually, I think Alex and I are doing something unusual for many around here.
We are having a pleasant conversation. We aren't throwing names at each other, insulting one another, and such like. In fact, I've agreed with many posts he's written already but I challenge him on other things. It's good to be challenged. Doesn't mean I'm right, doesn't mean he's wrong. I just want him to search out scriptures for what they are really saying and not what someone else has told him.
He wants to pastor someday. He will run into people who will challenge him more than I am, I promise you.
Alex, thanks for being a good sport on this thread. I've been hard on you, but not because I'm trying to prove how youthful and stupid you are. I have a son not much younger than you who will be preaching a message to his church this next Wednesday. I'd hate for someone to bully him, thinking he's young and dumb, but I do want someone to challenge him to study and not just think the Bible says something because the pastor or elder told him it does.
