What Does "Ministry" Have Authority To Do?

JoReba · #1 10-27-2015, 04:55 PM

Busy minds and chatty hearts in this Forum like to speculate about "Ministry" and related notions. So, step up like Real Believers in The Kingdom and review for us exactly what Authentic Ministers have authority to materially undertake. Seven times on page one of this "Deep Waters Forum" (Lol.) showing thread titles appear the words "Ministry" and "Authority." Yet, within none of that endless chit-chat is this question addressed.

Do not forget to edit out of your posts what is nothing more than your own personal thoughts, opinions, hopes, ideas, desires, feelings, and foolish speculations. Jesus cares nothing about those things. Rather, He cares only for what in your mind is in strict compliance with The Word of His Father, and with His Commands.

Hint: If you try to answer this post, you might want to distinguish in your own mind the two seperate definitions for the word "authority" before you make a mess of the topic here. Do not be too arrogant to think a standard Dictionary would not help you.

Lol. I have yet to hear a Professional Church Talker, that is, a Preacher, ever make that definition distinction when he is babbling about either ministerial authority, or any kind of other authority. Remember, a Real Man easily understands authority both up and down. That is, a Real Man is easily aware of who has authority over him, and easily understands over whom he carries his authority.

Let's restate the Thread's question here for those with a short attention span: "What Does Authentic "Ministry" In The Church Have Authority To Do?"

Bless your hearts as you continue to live, breathe, and plan your meals. Lol.

Who is enough of a fool to speak of "power and authority" within the ministry, yet cannot even describe or demonstrate such "power and authority?" Does that describe the corner you have put yourself into?

Lol.

Lol.

1 Pet. 5:1-4 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Tell us what Peter's words there have to do with yourself, and your weak babblings. You apparently have nothing to feed the flock, and you have no flock. Lol. Your mind is far from "ready."

My weak babbling? A scripture was posted, and you don't like that scripture, and then proceed to call it weak babbling. Okay. Gotcha. You are the one babbling.

Seemed pretty cogent to me. I'm afraid you are a long way from making your point, and only getting farther. You know, it doesn't really matter if you get blocked if everyone is ignoring your posts, right? Any chance you might stop the pointless spewing any time soon?
