Do you have any insight you can share from your situation regarding the reason that 1st Corinthians 14 doesn't seem to be applied to the vast majority of modern churches? |
According to my friend, it should apply. This seems to me, almost one of those, "Well, we've always done it this way, seems to work, why are you questioning it
?" And so, most, don't seem interested, in the fact of whether or not it's biblical.
I have not read it discussed much; or shown, that it does not apply today. The only reason I've read, is that, not that many people are gifted as "good speakers". So, let the gifted speaker do the teaching. My friends reply, "They'd get better with practice."
He is starting a blog, or web page on the subject, he's been doing a study on it for a year, so, I'll let you know, when it is up.
I'm sending him an email, with this thread, so he can read it.
