What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Church?

 

The strengths of the Church are:

  • Obedience to God through the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • And understanding of Scripture through the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • The orders of the church as God has laid them out in Scripture.

The weakness of the Church are:

  • Failure to understand Scripture; depending on human intellect instead of revelation.
  • Disunity and denominationatism.
  • Substitution of forms, rituals, intellectualism, and dogma for the Holy Spirit.
  • Substitution of emotion and entertainment for the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • Substitution of human orders for the Scriptural orders of the Church.
  • Tendency to explain away Scriptures that are inconvenient.
  • Tendency to add to Scripture through rationalism, speculation, and imagination.
  • Failure to believe the promises of Scripture.

If you seek God, you will find Him through His Son, Jesus.



Revelations 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.

John 10:35b the Scripture cannot be broken,

Human theology and reasoning is not necessarily correct, but the Bible is. The Bible can only be understood by revelation, and revelation is given by the Spirit of God. God does reveal in His own way. But we only know in part. If we think we know any thing, we do not know it as we ought. We are instructed, by God, to keep seeking Him. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. The truth sets us free. Lies bind us. Whoever seeks Jesus does find Him. Jesus is the truth.
