I need help with research on elder abuse. What scripture references would you use to enlighten me on the Christian's responsibility in cases of elder abuse? Should the Christian speak out? Is it meddling to discuss/report suspected elder abuse? I found very little in my concordance under abuse, elder and aged. Can you help?
I would like to know what the Bible says about deafness and other disabilities. Why do some people have some sort of disabilities?
I was just looking at your website and I don't understand why Christians can write such hateful speech about other Christians who might disagree or struggle to believe their point of view. As a Christian, I would never even think about describing my fellow Christians in such a way. How can I trust a fellow Christian who would speak of other saved individuals like that?
It seems that there is a new fad in churches today with making "prophetic" banners which has to be changed every now and then. They state that their is meaning to the colors each time and yet it seems more to me that they are making it a doctrine that is unscriptural. Is there anywhere in the Bible that can be used to prove or disapprove this?
What are the problems faced by the new churches?
My first question concerns the epistles of Timothy and Titus. Why is it that these are called, pastoral epistles? Seeing that the only church authority and responsibility that Paul discusses are the eldership positions of the Bishop and Deacon. Paul never writes or speaks using the word pastor. So I have never been able to find a link between the eldership roles and that of pastor.
