Let's see here...that's less than 5% of the congregation of that "Church," which I figure is about the percentage of genuine believers in the PROSPERITY DOCTRINE/MEGA-CHURCH movement.
Name it and claim it! Just don't bother us on a Sunday holiday...
When I think of that, and then think of the people who have been martyred or put their lives on the line for God, like Perpetua and Felicity, Margaret Clitherow,(three of my current favorites whose memory strengthens me when I want to say lets go play) and so many others over the centuries, including the brave Christians in Pakistan and China, my heart is grieved. How sad we're living in a time where we're even having this discussion.
BTW, any answer yet to #119?
"Do YOU "break bread" EVERY Lord's Day, or does your church practice it only when it is convenient? If so, are you also ready to condemn every church that does not "break bread" on a weekly basis?"
That was answered in post #120 pretty well. Our Church does "break bread" every day of the year. But we aren't going to condemn any church that doesn't. That's above our pay grade.
That's pretty much what I would have said.
WE do. We've done it since the beginning.
Don't fuss at people who meet in good faith and don't. God bless you in your endeavors.
