No, seriously. Sin...Ah, well, I haven't. ;-)<br /><br />No, seriously. Since 2005, I've posted again and again to the effect that (A) the first century church pattern wasn't uniform, whatever it was, (B) even if we could say 'the church was like X' that wouldn't necessarily justify our being just so, and (C) I've never met anyone who did church like I think Paul did church.<br /><br />Never. No one.<br /><br />So what could I possibly push?<br /><br />I think the way Paul did things was radically different from the way people today do things. My passion is to show that forth, to the extent such can be shown. But once we recognize the pastness of that (glorious, wonderful) past... there's nothing but God's voice to tell us what to do with that info.<br /><br />Seriously. Ideally, what I'm doing should benefit Catholics and Presbyterians as much as 'organic' church enthusiasts. In the final praxis, ideologically, I'm not much more radical than Howard Snyder.Bill Heromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-56583782673016718692010-09-28T15:25:01.789-05:002010-09-28T15:25:01.789-05:00What would you say to those who claim you've d...What would you say to those who claim you've done the same thing in your own research, Bill? That is, that you have gone about reconstructing the NT in such a way that it supports "organic", "house" church, or whatever?Josh Lhttp://jlawson23.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
