About This Product
It's not what many think! Based on letters to a Baptist preacher.
Excerpt- "The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth." Eccl. 12:10. The foregoing verse expresses my sincere desire in writing an introduction for the two letters that will follow. My purpose is to bring to your attention the basic teaching of God's Word on the subject of the church. Since the church is seen in the Scriptures in several different ways such as, "the body of Christ," "the house of God," "the bride, the Lamb's wife," etc., at first it will be necessary to limit myself somewhat to Peter's ministry that presents the church as a "spiritual house."
In Matt. 16:16, Peter (taught of the Father) confesses, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." The Lord replied, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church." Matt. 16:18. In his first Epistle, he teaches that the church is a "spiritual house" built up with lively (living) stones (1 Peter 2:5) with the purpose of offering up "spiritual sacrifices" as a "holy priesthood."
It is commonly understood that a solid foundation is necessary for the erection of a durable building. The wrong teaching that Christ is building His church upon Peter is one of the worst fabrications in the Christian profession. The claim simply cannot be true, although thousands accept it. However, numbers do not prove anything to be right. If they did, we would be found in some false religious belief vastly outnumbering our Christian faith.
