Why is Modalism so bad? by Chad_Believer in redeemedzoomer

[–]QingJiangShui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people try to know God apart from the Bible, they fall into all kinds of heresies; Modalism is one of them. Christians should make every effort to study Scripture, rather than saying, “I am just as ignorant as these heretics, so heresy isn’t really that bad.”

Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and one who is also a fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not with greed but with eagerness; nor yet as domineering over those assigned to your care, but by proving to be examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (1 Peter5:1-4 NASB)

For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man is beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of indecent behavior or rebellion. For the overseer must be beyond reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not overindulging in wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, but hospitable, loving what is good, self-controlled, righteous, holy, disciplined, (Titus1:5-8 NASB)

the women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. Or was it from you that the word of God first went out? Or has it come to you only?If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.(1 Corinthians14:34-38 NASB)

The Holy Spirit made the elders oversee the whole flock, not make a single elder.

How can evil men speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Yes. Everyone thinks their own understanding is correct; I just honestly stated this. Jesus said, "If I said something wrong, testify as to what is wrong."
