Bill Macourt always preaches, This is THE TRUTH, THE Way....bollocks Do you find it worrying that Bill says that? If so why? Do you feel what Bill says has an effect on your personal relationship with God?

Bill Macourt always preaches, This is THE TRUTH, THE Way....bollocks Why do you think what he said is bollocks? You don't believe the 2x2 fellowship and the 2x2 Itinerant ministry is the Truth and the Way of Jesus Christ as we read the Gospels and in the book of Acts?
Can you tell us what's so wrong with what Bill M. said?

This is the way and this is the truth when this is Jesus. I just reread all the above posts including the verse in John's epistle. I replaced the word truth with the word Jesus and it all fits perfectly! Someone suggested that we can replace the word "wisdom" with 'Jesus' in Proverbs and it fits. And we can replace the word "charity" with 'Jesus' in 1 Corin 13. So I have just been looking at the use of the word "truth" in the New Testament and trying out the word Jesus. It all fits.
So I suggest if we use the word "truth" in conversation or writing, we should test it. If, when we replace it with the word "Jesus" and it still has the same meaning then it is being used correctly.

Thanks, what what you've shared, David. It's a miracle really how the early workers in 1890's's received an awesome revelation of continuning the apostolic/workers Itinerant 2x2s and the New Testament fellowship.
John the apostle believed their Itinerant ministry and fellowship was the TRUTH and the WAY of Jesus. (II John 1: 1-3) It was Jesus who saved the lost through the preaching of the apostles and the disciples.
Acts 16:16,17 It came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by fortune-telling.
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying "These men are the servants of the MOST High God, which show us the WAY of Salvation."
~~ God the Father has been calling and sending forth men and women into His Harvest field into ALL the world as had Jesus foretold His Father would be doing in every generation until His Son comes back again.
Jesus said, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are FEW! pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest." (Luke 10:1,2)

Nathan said "....and the Eucharists/Bread and Wine are be held in the homes of the believers are MANDATORY!... "
Where did this come from? Is there a scripture(s) to show this as mandatory?

Do you read anywhere in the scriptures where Jesus, apostles, and his followers partake the Eucharists/Thanksgivings=Bread and Wine outside the homes of the believers in the Gospel or in the book of Acts?
1) Do you read anywhere in the Scriptures that Jesus, the apostles and his disciples parttake the Eucharists=Bread and wine in the Temple? When you find those verses in the Bible please show me I would like to read it.
I read in the Gospel, the book of Acts and in the epistles Jesus, the apostles and His followers partake the Eucharists=Bread and Wine in the homes of the believers.
2) Where do you get the authority to change Jesus and the apostles teachings by partaken the Eucharists outside of the homes of the believers?
I know some of the friends and workers take the emblems at some conventions. Why, do they have the emblems conventions? What are some the explanation for having emblems at conventions?
Why only this certain country have the emblems at their conventions? Do you think it was the worker/s who brought the Gospel to this country own idea for having emblems at conventions because he/they felt it was OK to do it. Just curious.
