Lesson 5: Acceptable And Unacceptable Worship God has shown, in the Bible, His approval with those who follow His will and His displeasure and wrath with those who refuse to worship Him the way He has directed. An example of acceptable and unacceptable worship in the Old Testament is that of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel both worshipped God. Abel did as God directed, but Cain tried to worship God the way he saw fit. We read in Genesis 4:3-5, "And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering." Why did the Lord have respect for Abel's offering and why did He reject Cain's offering? Hebrews 11:4 tells us, "By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain." Notice Abel offered his sacrifice "by faith" but Cain did not. Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Ontological trichotomy of man: Spirit, Soul and Body Ontology is the mechanical makeup of man with separate spirit and body. Dichotomy simply means two separate kinds of parts. A chestnut is a monochotomous seed with a single part, but a peanut is a dichotomous seed that can be broken into two halves. Man is dichotomous because he is half spirit and half physical. The entire man is actually trichotomous (three parts) in nature because the Bible speaks of a distinction between soul and spirit and body.

Dancing and the Bible: Is it OK? Dancing and the Bible: Is it OK? The word "dancing" has a rather broad meaning, which may include such simple activity as the expression of feelings of joy and enthusiasm, or the more involved routing and movement of one skilled in interpreting and arousing powerful emotions.

Welcome to the Hamilton church of Christ, in Ontario Canada We feel that the solution to the vast religious division is for the Bible to be the only source of religious authority for worship, doctrine & morality. We believe that human creeds, catechisms & statements of faith cause religious division because they compete with the authority of the Bible and cloud people's ability to clearly see what the Bible actually says. Churches are not divided over what is in the Bible, but what is not in the Bible. Jesus likened the Bible to seed in the parable of the sower. We believe that if anyone plants the pure seed of the word of God, that it will produce exactly the same first century church every time. We are determined to be simply Christians. We have no ambition to be anything more and we cannot be content to be anything less. For this reason, we are not interested in man-made church doctrines but only in the New Testament blueprint. With the Bible as our only guide, we seek to find what that original church was like and restore it exactly. Our ... ... https://www.bible.ca/churches/hamilton-church-of-christ.htm
