Exploring objections to hiring third-party oversight and the modern church's corporate structures
The objections to hiring third-party oversight in churches stem from the belief that church leadership should manage the church without external influences and reliance on spiritual parents for guidance, not professional consultants. Some argue that churches should be led by spiritual direction, not corporate structures, as seen in the biblical model of an organically run church. There is a critique of churches evolving into Christian corporations with a hierarchical structure, deviating from the New Testament church's organic and spiritually directed nature. The discussion also touches on the importance of incorporating professional expertise and general wisdom in church operations, acknowledging that all truth is God's truth and highlighting the value of investigations and learning over time.
