On Sunday, January 5, 2020, Mr. John West introduced his Sunday School series on Church History.
Week 1 -- Why Study Church History and the Issues
Why study Church history?
- Because our story is historical
- We're part of that history, and it is both an encouragement and education.
- We were given examples in the Old Testament
- Church history is a lens to view our beliefs.
- Often, Church history is a magnifying lens if we look.
- Sometimes, we need another example.
What is your definition of "Church"?
- In Matthew
- In Acts (1:8; 2; 8:12; 10-11; 28:16)
Does the "Church" include the Old Testament nation of Israel?
- Frequently, that depends on whom you ask.
Some of the heresies we have revisited:
- God created Jesus
- Two Gods in the Bible
- God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three people or three manifestations
- The God of the Bible is the same as the God of the Koran
