Lin, my parents saw this, too, as well as other things that gave them pause for concern and it caused them to always be ‘fringe Christians’ because they could never fully buy into what they saw happening in churchianity. They were very devout Christians and lived their faith in a very real and practical way, however.
I am intrigued by Nate and Joanne Krupp’s description of what church and church leadership ‘should’ be like on their Radical Christianity website. (I haven’t investigated all their recommended links, etc., so can’t vouch for those but like what they have written per church and its functioning). They support home churches, and, again, the disclaimer would have to be that any group-home or corporate-has the potential to be good or misguided.
In searching out Catharine Booth’s bio (per The Better Bibles blog, per ‘Sue’s’ entries on the blog Tiro just referred to, discussing Bruce Ware’s latest message) was very interested and stunned to see her reference this verse (with much valid indignation): Psalm 68:11-“The Lord gave the word and great was the company of those that published it.” When I looked this up on scriptureforall’s interlinear, it says: ‘my Lord he-is-giving saying the-women-bearing-tidings host vast.’
Yet another example of translators doing an injustice?! What can we trust in the translations?!
