go not from house to house;
as if fickle and inconstant, as if not satisfied with your lodging and entertainment, and as seeking out for other and better, or as if burdensome where they were

so we find that the verse is not an imperative command that they should not actually go from house to house preaching and teaching but that they should not be fickle and inconsistent about their lodging, excellent, such a view harmonizes with the passage in its immediate context and the Bible as a whole, your interpretation contradicts the passage in its immediate context and the Bible as a whole. Ouch! yo busted again Raj. Why do you mess with me?

Its NOT about house to house which you constantly boast about. Its about preaching the good news about Christ and the Kingdom to come , doctrines which you people have twisted.
Whats the point of going house to house and preaching garbage? You dont know who Jesus Christ really is.

In order to know Jesus you must do the things he commanded.

You asked for a passage where Christ directed people to go to private houses, you got a passage where Christ directed people to go to private houses, how you interpret it is your affair.
You will explain your interpretation and why the apostles of Christ were going from house to house in the book of Acts as is clearly reported, either your interp ...[text shortened]... he Bible is wrong when it reports that the apostles were going from house to house. Which is it?

Originally posted by Proper Knobthey are an understanding of the text that both harmonizes with the immediate context and the context of the Bible as a whole, to interpret the verse as an imperative command not to go from house to house is unwarranted and makes absolutely no sense.

I produced a Scripture from the psalms that you have failed to either understand or acknowledge which states that the meek will inherit the earth and reside forever upon it; whether i disappoint you is relevant to whom? It is meaningless to me whether your expectations are met or not. Not only that your doctrine of the eternal soul is anti christian ...[text shortened]... trine can be traced to paganism and is inherited from the Greeks; it is not a biblical teaching.
The average Christian would not accept anything i've said of the JW's being children of God just as much as they are. It is what is in the heart that matters. (i have to go to work, but will type later on this)

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt is stupidity to think that in today's world when we have telephone, television, and internet that everybody must go from door to door to spread the gospel of Christ to all the world. Besides do you follow that command completely by also baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit? If so, wouldn't that be admitting belief in the Trinity?

Originally posted by RJHindsFirst of all does the Bible states that Christ gave the disciples the command to go to private houses and that the apostles were found doing that as reported in the book of acts. This is important because the assertion was that there was no such precedent when clearly there is. What is more in order to teach someone you must spend time with that person and simply dumping information on them is not teaching is it. No one is claiming that the Christian has to limit his or her ministry solely to house to house in fact Paul had a custom of going to the market place and the synagogue. Your trinitarian quip will be ignored as unworthy of serious comment.
