Re: Church Structure
Just a note of extra clarification - nothing really new from what has already been posted.
The boundary set by Moses was to keep the people away from God until He was ready, otherwise they would surly die. Only Moses and the invited (e.g. the elders) were allowed access on the mountain and only Moses was allowed to continue on to the top. But, as has been pointed out, the boundary separating God's people from "the mountain" has been removed. No one is permitted to reconstruct it!
No pastor (or other minister) sits on the throne of Moses, except in their own opinion. That kind of teaching is, I regret to say, self-serving and a spiritually dangerous misuse of scripture in an attempt to further an individual's personal agenda.
Again, these remarks are just an affirmation of what has already been posted.
