I think you'll see it has nothing to do with using written lessons as aids in learning about something so one may better teach. 4 0 obj
They learned from teachers teaching them. Are you against the music, or against using it in worship services/church setting? vest/shirt (see below about vests/shirts) and closed-toe shoes for running and playing. Dress to Impress. I wouldn't agree with those who use "the you use hymn books' argument aren't really concerned about the truth" as a blanket statement. The Discovery program leaves a lot to be desired. But they, and individual Christians, are not silenced by that church's autonomy. The Jewish day begins at around 6:00 P.M. You can call it Saturday if you want, but the Jews consider it Sunday. This may put us at somewhat of a handicap in understanding the intricasies of it.Well, I suppose you might be right in that this might be (as you said) representative of some churches, or even of most churches. I hope you get the idea.I'll pass on the lemonade, but how about some iced tea (sweet)...Also, AWANA is a para-church ministry and was started at North Side Gospel Center in Chicago.My observation of these types of programs is that the first recommendation is never "do this because it is scriptural", but rather "if do this you will get this result". After all, the teachers are the ones who make the decisions of how/what to teach. They told me and then called upon the name of the Lord. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation. You did it just once and you got a response to it.
While you may see similarities (i.e. Wednesday is not "off the pattern" because the Scriptures show the churches meeting on different days, sometimes daily. I'm a little "off" my brain sometimes, and now is one of those times. “We could start wearing robes like Jesus”, and a few of them seem curious to me, to put it mildly – e.g. I realized this was what I'd been praying for. 2 John 10,11 makes it very plain: "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into Paul told Timothy that he had learned Scriptures from an infant up, whereby the Holy Spirit would cause him to understand and apply to his at a competent age.
If I believe "A" and my belief about "B" is inconsistent with that, it doesn't prove whether "A" is wrong, just that I am inconsistent.Just disregard the previous question if you want, Bro. Landmarker, I am not saying that God can not be successful with any "man-made" program that churches apply. However, if someone teaches false doctrine, the material is heretical and the person is a heretic. Not "dusking" toward the first day.How does the Jewish time not solve the problem? I have learned some from other posts, and from thinking more in depth about this. I do not condemn, look down on, or think less of any church that doesn't use the literature or a specific kind. I changed it as changes became necessary. If Paul wore a toga & sandals and walked to church, that does not establish that practice for us. So, I do not really choose to fight against Discovery, any more than I would Sunday School, VBS, etc. Why do they do that?I was simply saying that often logical arguments are confused as straw-men fallacies when they aren't.
Whether a church must still sign an agreement with these particular terms is unclear. "Awana exists to share the gospel with kids. Snyde, since the Jewish day begins at 6:00 P.M., that makes it a Sunday resurrection.The "6:00 P.M." thing doesn't work since the word was "dawning" toward. He/she should also bring his/her ible and Awana handbook (make sure your child’s name is written inside his/her handbook). However, I talked to an operator at 1-888-292-6249 who told me that while the individual church's doctrinal position may be presented, that the AWANA position and the lesson materials must be presented in their entirety. By “self-promoting” and “self-perpetuating”, I do not mean that the promoters are saying a church MUST have these “programs”. That is not what I said. The agreement posted on the AWANA website (www.awana.org) says that a church using the program is solely responsible for its religious instruction while at the same time the church is not allowed to modify the materials.
Anyone who thinks that a church can rely on Discovery or AWANA has obviously never come into contact with either material.
