For Non Catholics: Church Or Bible Which One Came First? by lacum: 6:29pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
Most christians except catholics believe that the bible came b4 d church. But the catholics blieve d church started at penticost and am sure non of the letters of d new testament have been written then. Again the apostles recorded what d church did or what d church is doing. Some others wil say d old testament was already there but every xtian know dat without d new testament d old wont be relevant to xtians because d new gave meaning to d old n dats y d church added it to d bible. |

alentyno: All I know is the bible is more important than the church (ie those doctrines and unnecessary dogmas) They didn't ask you which one is more important to you, they asked which one came first. My answer is that the Bible came before Bible-based christianity. However the Christianity that Jesus founded came before the bible. |

lacum: if d bible is more important dan d church jesus would have mentioned it and dat wil mean there wont b any need 4 a church at all.I never said we should not go to church! Rather to me what the bible teaches is above any additional dogma or doctrine! John 4:20-24 New International Version (NIV) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” |

lacum: ur positn is not yet clear. Are u saying dat neida d bible nor d church can help us worship God in spirit m in truth? I'll use this your post together in answering the OP. Firstly, Bible is a compilation of an historical books written by men through the inspiration of God in other to convey the very MIND of God towards His creation AND how God had dealt with MAN in the past WITH His future PLAN for man. Secondly, You have to know that the very word 'BIBLE' never appeared within the book itself. Thirdly, the Church In quote is not the building you go and worship every Sunday or sometimes during the week. church signifies THE SAINT(s) who have been made perfect by the finishing work of Christ. Jesus is coming for His church (the SAINTS) NOT denominations i.e those who has acknowledged Him as their personal Lord and Saviour. Although the term 'Church (as building)' has been using to identify the gathering of believers in Christ. Lastly, I can see that you're confusing church (the building/denominations) with Church (The SAINTS). Bible as we have it, is a book which serves as A GUIDANCE for Christians NOT a certificate for salvation unto eternal life. To your question "Are you saying neither the Bible nor the Church can help us WORSHIP God in spirit and in truth"? Either Bible or church(I'll take this as a building or denomination) can help us WORSHIP God in truth and in spirit depending on how you read the books and the doctrine you follow. The revelation of God in human history recorded by some men came before the Church (the act of believing in Christ's finished work by people) though this work has been for ordained before the foundation of the world BUT the CHURCH of Christ came before the compilation of the Christian Bible. NOTE: I'm not arguing with you but I am a fallible and finite being trying to discern the mind of an infallible and infinite mind of sovereign God. Remain Bless in CHRIST Jesus who is coming for His church not denominations. 1 Like |

Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever mentioned "bible" The Bible was created centuries later by the Catholic Church. |
Re: For Non Catholics: Church Or Bible Which One Came First? by Emusan(m): 9:59am On Jul 25, 2014 |
italo: Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever mentioned "bible" Using the Word CREATED is wrong. Compilation is the best word. |
Re: For Non Catholics: Church Or Bible Which One Came First? by Ubenedictus(m): 6:43pm On Jul 25, 2014 |
I agree with pastor aio. The church as founded by Christ came before the christian bible. The bible came before the "sola scriptural" christianity. |
