Who are these leaders to whom you are to give obedience?


You did not acknowledge even one scripture that i named in order to explain to you why i do not join a Church, but now you come up with a scripture?

you are just dodging.

But any way, elders can be just that or they can be bishops or deacons which are leaders of the Church.

That means they are leaders over the members of the congregation.

I am not a member of any congregation.

Because like i said i do not want some one leading me that does not know the difference between tithes and alms.

I also do not want some one leading me that thinks that the Sabbath day can be changed to the first day of the week.

These are not things that concern me, but that doesn't mean there aren't churches out there that cover your concerns. It strikes me that the Messianics might cover at least one of those issues.

Nonetheless, I don't imagine a positive conversation with the Lord over them. "Well, Lord, I blew off the church for which You died over the alms/tithe thingie...."

"Oh, OK. Don't worry about it. I always meant to add a verse about how the tithe/alm thing would louse up the entire plan of redemption."
