Have you found any specific NT injunctions against building a structure dedicated as a meeting place for Christians? If you have, I'd certainly be interested in reading them.  |
Nope, not a form of arguing from silence. The pattern of meeting New Testament church was from home to home per scripture, the bible isn't silent at all about that. Never was it taught to build some building, call it a 'church' or 'tabernacle' or 'house of God' or 'bro so-and so's church' and replacing that with the bible based teaching of house to house.
The Romanists introduced the building-based system with all it's trappings and the oneness pentecostals are following it very well. It's not according the teachings of the bible though.
So no, it's not arguing from a position of silence. It's arguing between following the Roman system or the New Testament system.
