“If it has to do with Christianity, it can be found in the scriptures by comparing scripture with scripture...”
That’s not what scripture actually says.
Matthew 18:15-7
“If your brother or sister[b] sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ “If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;” and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”
The Church decides and sorts out the issue if the issue cannot be resolved between the brothers. Christ affirms that the end authority is in fact the Church.
There is no Church in the bible...There is however a church, and many churches...
The Berean church in the scriptures gave us the example...The churches are supposedly led by faithful Christians who study and search the scriptures by comparing scripture with scripture to 'prove all things' and that is where their authority to settle the matter lies...
JCBreckenridge documents: That’s not what scripture actually says.
Matthew 18:15-7 “If your brother or sister[b] sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ “If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;” and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”
