Re: What Would You Say?
I wonder what the Apostles would have said to CRITICISMS of them making binding decisions in Acts and communicating them to ALL of the gentile churches to obey. Some probably would have told them or gossiped/slandered behind their backs - who do they think they are - men creating binding decisions and expecting others to obey them - they are not God - they are taking responsibility that does not belong to them - it only belongs to God - or the responsibility belongs to everyone to do what they think is write because all the congregation is holy - but definitely the responsibility does not belong to them to rule over us like that.
Instead of having humility of mind and humbleness of heart and submitting themselves, they want to buck.
But perhaps those who have departed want to try and do something to justify themselves and soothe their consciences.
