One may host a weekly poker party at their house and not be in violation of local or international zoning ordinances. But if one were to host a weekly Bible study or small prayer group in their home they would be in violation up local or international zoning ordinances. Is this correct?Blaine
Weekly poker party seems to be more commercial than studying God's word.
First off, I am not condoning anything that goes against Christianity period, we have been beat up for years now.:( Now, I am not concerning myself with these things anymore, I am just writing off all these happenings like this, to the end times. Now you will have your folks that agree with me, then you will have the ones that say, Bill, this is the reason this country is in the shape it's in because of weak Christians that don't fight back. Well the only ones that should rebuke me on my attitude, is the ones that have fought back, and personally made a difference. Please list what you personally did to right a wrong.

GreetingsI know that there are many groups who get around this by rotating whose house they gather at for times of fellowship so as not to be a burden with parking at any one neighborhood. If you have a Bible study group or prayer group that meets only once a week(although I think we should come together daily :) I realize of course this does not take away from the reality behind these laws which are an attack on Christianity in general. God blessmj
The whole world system is anti-christ. Rotating houses and keeping a low profile works well for many.

I would not advocate any christian keeping to low a profile as we are called to share the gospel with the lost :)I agree the world system is anti-christ and I believe the government system and church systems go hand and hand with the world system that is why they come out attacking CHRISTIANS, they want nothing to do with the LIGHT!God blessmaryjane
Keeping a low profile is not necessarily synonymous with 'not sharing the gospel". The subject is Home Bible/Studies and lots of people parking outside a residence and possibly a lot of noise and activity. Low profile could mean spread out the parking, and break up into several house churches if you are too big. Nothing related to sharing the gospel or not sharing it. Be wise.

No not all. I welcomed the opportunity to clarify my post. We definitely should not engage in something that would prevent us from sharing the gospel. Blessings to you.
