REFLECTION
Subject:
The Attitude Of The
Church Of Christ In
20th Century
It's Interesting to note the
many Innovations or changes
from first century worship to the
present Many changes have
influenced New Testament
Christianity for good. There are
some areas of change for which
we should be grateful These
changes have to do with
transportation, comfortable
places to worship, and a great country of which we are
a part, and should be reminded that we, as yet, have
not come under persecution for what we believe and
practice. , ,
The practice of "Extreme Unction" was one of the
early changes In Christianity. This was the act of
anointing for medicinal purposes, uses of oil In
religious rites, utterances, etc. This was Introduced
about 25 years after John wrote Revelation (A.0.120).
Therefore the foundation was laid for those who were
to come afterwards with their "Miracles". Their
divine utterances and their anointing would make the
blind see, the lame walk, and even raise the dead. You
think this Is ridiculous? I was told during a tent
meeting In the 30's, these workers had a coffin and had
a person lying there ready to be raised from the dead.
The person was lust a farm boy who wanted to make
82.00 for his performance. - -
The subject of Baptism was changed In about 1054
A.D. The reason appeared to be reasonable. The
subject was to be "bedfast", therefore, it was
necessary to find a way to baptize them. They decided
to use water instead of oil. This was to Introduce
sprinkling of water on the individual Instead of the
biblical means of Immersion.
In 1609 it was decided by a religious group that
baptism wasn't necessary at all. You could be baptized
If you wanted to, but it would be to "join a church".
Instrumental music was Introduced about 960 A.D.
by the Roman Catholic Church. This is used In some
form by practically every religious body In America.
Where does this leave the church of Christ In the
midst of all these changes? The Lord's Church of the
20th century practices the same things as the first
Christians practiced In the first century. We minister
to those who are sick. We pray for their recovery
(James 5:16). Ws continue to practice baptism by
Immersion as Jesus practiced, as John the Baptlzer
preached, and as Paul shows the significance of it In
Rom. 6:3,4. We like to use the perfect Instrument God
nave us: the voice, which projects the Intellect or
understanding. (Col. 3: ML .
I say the foregoing, not Jg»»*OBon««Js buf
encourage all. • am only Interested In reminding us all
mat God's word Is fine In all things and for us to
cJingSit Isto guestion the authority of God. Rev.
22:18, John 12:4?.
