The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus.

Question 64. What is the invisible church?

  Question 64. What is the invisible church? Answer. The invisible church is the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will be gathered together in the future under Christ, the head. In the catechism, the doctrine states that the invisible church is "the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will gather together in the future under Christ, the head," so it can be understood as those who make heaven in Christ.

Those who are not elected, although they may be called outwardly by the ministry of the Word, and have some common operation of the Spirit, yet willfully neglect and despise the grace offered to them, and so fall into unbelief, and do not truly come to Jesus Christ. God chooses from among those who are called to be His people. Matthew 22:14 says that many are called, but few are chosen. In Matthew 22:2, “ The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son, ” the king is God. The son is Jesus Christ, and the wedding feast is the wedding feast of the Lamb. The wedding feast of the Lamb refers to taking his bride. Only those who are the bride of Christ among all people in the world can enter the wedding feast. In order to become the bride of Christ, they must die with Jesus and be resurrected with Christ. The wedding feast of the Lamb is becoming one...
