Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
How should the Ekklesia be structured or governed? How did Jesus treat His followers? Which model of the many churches is correct? Do we follow the examples set in the Old Testament? How do we resolve various conflicting views on biblical topics?
Because our understanding of God the Father and His Son is so important and foundational, we should be careful how we build on this foundation, but especially where we encounter differences of interpretation of belief and practice. The instructions and principles we should consider are found in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 14.
Government is authorized by God for the protection, benefit, and peaceful existence of human society (Romans 13:1- 5; 1Peter 2:13-15). But these purposes and objectives cannot be properly achieved unless they are led and administered by righteous, just, God-fearing people.

Leviticus 23:34-36 NKJV
Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD.
On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.
For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
