The idea that the churches would have been run by committees is amusing. We can see the principle of organization in his instruction to the 72 by Jesus in Luke. The House church was the basis of the early church and the head of that house would naturally have been at least the nominal leader. Obviously, some women were very strong in the faith, which lends substance to the feminist claim. But social mores being strong, even a rich widow would have had to have had a “front man” to serve as nominal leader. The letter to Timothy shows pretty clearly how Paul organized his communities. But I think we can safely assume that Luke tells us that even before the Resurrection, the practical foundations for the spread of the Gospel were being laid down. His choosing of the Twelve with Peter as the evident leader and the sending of the disciples is a delegation of authority.
Amen!!
Also Why does it not read Faith Comes By Reading And Reading The Word. I am not saying it is absolutely wrong but true authority is in the verses mean Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing the Word.
Why Hear? Only an Authoritive Leader Can Speak it? Yes. I believe this makes sense.
ROMANS 10:
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
