This episode examines a often-overlooked interpretation of 1 Timothy 5:19, consistent with the King James Version's translation from 400 years ago, regarding accusations against church elders. It explains how the verse may be instructing that formal accusations be made in front of witnesses, rather than requiring multiple witnesses to the alleged sin itself, potentially allowing victims of abuse to come forward even without corroborating eyewitnesses.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tom Wadsworth to explore a vital yet often misunderstood topic: the true purpose of early Christian gatherings. Many of us assume that worship has always been the central focus of church meetings, but Dr. Wadsworth’s research reveals a different story.

Together, we discuss how modern church practices have shifted away from the original biblical model, which prioritized mutual edification and spiritual growth and excluded temple-based worship rituals. Dr. Wadsworth breaks down the disconnect between the New Testament assemblies and today’s church services, the meaning behind key Greek words for worship, and why reclaiming the biblical intent of gathering matters for Christians today.
