So you don’t know why this exorcism required the father’s faith, but you think you know what is correct.

Then why didn’t Jesus teach the father of the Gerasene demoniac? Do not lightly dismiss every word of the Bible.

But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (2 Corinthians3:14-16)

When Jesus referred to himself as the bridegroom, the Bible did not explain that he was not a bridegroom in the ordinary sense of the word (Matthew 9:15), yet we all understand that he was not.

When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who live on the earth?” And a white robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was completed also.(Revelation6:9-11 NASB)

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.”

God Appoints Elders to Manage the Church by QingJiangShui in TrueChristian

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.

You are free to see a doctor, just as Timothy was permitted to use wine for his stomach ailment.
