Megachurch files for bankruptcy

I'm talking about the passage in Acts 6. That passage does not tell you who the multitude was that chose the deacons. You invented something from your own imagination and placed it onto that section of scripture and then used that to argue for your position on church government. I'm more than ready for you to own up to this. For all you know the multitude that chose the deacons in Acts 6 might have been the entire congregation.

...and for all you know it could have been 5% of the entire church...you are doing the very thing you accuse me of!! I didn't "invent" anything, please quit making things up. The greek for multitude could be any number. I'm arguing that just because it said multitude it DOES NOT mean it was the whole church and DOES NOT mean it supports congregational rule! I wouldn't be so quick to judge my reading comprehension!

The Baptist Foundation of Arizona bankruptcy dwarfs this one.

Of course, there weren't Southern Baptist "bigger problems" that God was trying to expose, were there?

....Maybe.

Ironic in the entire affair of the Crystal Cathedral declaring bankruptcy is the simple fact that Robert Schuller was THE principle preacher in America of the heath and wealth (prosperity) gospel. Guess it didn't pan out all that well in the end. I wonder who's "faith" was lacking (that often being the primary reason given for someone to not receive God's blessing)?

The Baptist Foundation of Arizona is as bad as any that I know of.

I guess the Creditors had more faith than the Crystallites.
