Convo #8 - Authority (Jay)

I have my doubts that this convo will take off, but who knows.

I'd like to have some discussion on authority. What type of Authority does the Pastor of a church have? How about a parent? The government? The rink guard at the skating rink?

In light of all authority being established by God what do we do will authority that appears unbiblical?

Finally what is a proper hierarchy of authority?

I'd say...

God
Family leader (Father / Mother) if still under their authority
Local Congregation Leadership
Government

Share your thoughts,
Jay

Convo #7 - Eschatological Optimism (Ben Schilling)

Is it fair to say the world is becoming a better place? Is Christianity spreading and will it continue to spread throughout the world as Christ tells his disciples to do?

What's going on here?

This blog was created in order to have a simple forum between a few friends over various theological issues.

The method is that one contributer will suggest a topic in a blog post, then the topic will be debated, discussed, agreed upon, or disagreed upon in the comments. The contributer of the topic will also include their stand on the topic in the post, but they will defend their stance in the comments.

The ultimate goal is that God would be glorified in us seeking a deeper understanding of Him.

Of course the way we will do this will change as we see how it works.
