Babylon must fall!: “The New Testament Ecclesiastical Management Structure for Successful Growth”
Before we can truly understand the statement made by Jesus; “I will build My Church”, we need to understand that the translators of the King James Bible used the word “church" rather than "assembly" or "congregation", because of pressure from King James who wanted to be seen as the head of an Organization and the Nation. The organization was called “the Church”. In this book we will look at some history of the man’s organization of the Church and see if it matches with what the Bible says about the structure of the New Testament Church. We will start by looking at the Old Testament to see what structure if any was followed. |
