Hi Everyone,
Blessings to you through Messiah Yahushua, My YAHWEH and My ELOHIM!
When my wife and I and my middle Brother and his wife were disfellowshipped from the Worldwide Church of God, we along with Hyssop and his wife and my youngest Brother, ImAHebrew, decided to establish an in-home fellowship. We named ourselves, "A Church of God", and we assembled each Sabbath Day, the 7th Day of the Week, that is, Saturday. We also assembled on the annual Sabbath Days. At our assemblies, we would offer prayers and sing hymns to the accompaniment of the piano playing of my wife. We did rotate amongst the baptized men the speaking duties at our assemblies. There was often much discussion between the speaker and those listening. All were allowed to ask questions or make comments should they be so moved to do so. This is something that we felt very strongly about. Never again would we agree to place ourselves in a position where we would not be allowed to ask a question of the speaker or preacher during his sermon.
After the morning service, we would eat a common meal together with each family bringing something prepared beforehand. Our children loved this aspect of the Sabbath Assembly.
Thus, by necessity, the Tzaddikim became Separatists, that is, Pharisees. The Tzaddikim were not literalists like the Sadducees in our approach to the written scriptures. I will explain more about our approach to the scriptures as this thread develops.
Thanking anyone in advance that should be moved to reply, I am,
Sincerely, Latuwr
