Have you every been asked on a Sunday what you will be doing and you find yourself saying;
Am going TO CHURCH.
May I ask you, are you going to an event to be entertained only to be a fan, not an active participant, because everything has been planned for you to do.
OR are you going to fellowship with the King of Glory and His people where the people of Messiah Yeshua are active participants to worthshipping Him according to the Word of GOD Almighty.
1 Corinthians 14:26-33
Orderly Worship
26What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up; 27if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret; 28and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God. 29And prophets � let two or three speak, and let the others discern, 30and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent; 31for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted, 32and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject, 33for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
The difference between the church of men, and the Body of Messiah is that the ' church' does not believe the Holy Spirit has control of the meeting of the saints, that is why everything has been prepared by the so called worship team and the self called pastor for the sheeple to do, and to say.
That is why the church is not of GOD Almighty and cannot be found within the annuls of Scripture within the NEW COVENANT.
Just because you read the word ' church' within the distorted translations, this does not prove the 'church' exists.
Please do yourselves a favor and check the Greek Scriptures in the book of the Acts of the Holy Spirit in order to find the will of GOD concerning His people.
ELDERS, or pastor in the book of the Acts of the Holy Spirit
George, you are SO hung up on Elder vs Pastor and 501C3�s that you are Missing the WILL of the EVERLASTING FATHER Concerning the Matters and Doings of �MAN� that GOD Almighty Ordained when His People asked for �Kings� to RULE over them�HE gave them/us what (was) asked for�
So it appears your real problem isn�t with the �Church� or �Christians��it is with Yahweh and that is betwixt you and HIM...
May Papa GOD�s Holy Spirit show you that you are in error and watching Videos� that do not bring GLORY to the Most High GOD is exactly what the devil wants a person to do because it takes the focus off what the LORD Yahshua/Jesus has done and continues to do, and breeds fear, anger and hate. I pray and ask you once again to check your self and motives�and May GOD have Mercy upon us All!!!
1 Peter 2:13-17 (KJV)
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
George, you are SO hung up on Elder vs Pastor and 501C3�s that you are Missing the WILL of the EVERLASTING FATHER Concerning the Matters and Doings of �MAN� that GOD Almighty Ordained when His People asked for �Kings� to RULE over them�HE gave them/us what (was) asked for�
Do you and I agree that the BODY of believers are to be meeting according to the Word of GOD Almighty Yes or No.
If the people do not meet according to the Word of GOD are they meeting outside of the will of GOD Almighty Yes or No.
When the Word of GOD tells us that a Plurality of Elders is to have the OVERSIGHT of the body, but a pastor (singular) is set in place instead, have we violated the Word of GOD Almighty Yes, or No.
When the Word of GOD says that each and every believer has something to bring in order to share withjn the body, but the people are FORCED into silence, are we meeting to WORTHSHIP Messiah according to the Word of GOD Almighty written in 1 Corinthians 14:26 - 33 Yes or No
When the people meet together are they being discipled ( Made learners of Messiah ) or are they being entertained with stories and a lot of music. Learners OR entertained
If the answer to these questions is YES, then you will understand that the problem is not me, the problem is the 'church' people want a man made system, not the Word of GOD Almighty.
One last thing...George shared ~ 2. The assistant pastor(Not found in the Word of GOD,made up by man).
That is not True George because it is found and written...

*** This word "pastor" is interchangeable with shepherd, herdsman, teacher depending on the placement of the word especially in the Hebrew. As for the Greek...well...it must come as close as possible to encompass the complete meaning of the Word and what it is saying in the translation....just thought yall might want to know...
