Why Does The Modern Church Seem So Different From The Early Church Part 1? by Joeaugust: 6:25pm On Sep 18, 2022
In case u havent noticed these differences. Here are some:1. The believers met in each other's home. Those that were in jerusalem met in a single temple 2. Sharing of food Was a practice and apostolic creed
3. There was no such thing as tithe or offering, not even among the jewish christians, instead what they have is freewill contribution to help the poor 4. Giving is seen as a way of showing Gods free and undeserved grace in their lives unlike our 'give to get' doctrines 5. There was nothing like revival services, concerts, outreaches or crusades. Instead, every one reached out to his neighbour(aquila, appolos) while the apostles travelled preaching. 7. Leadership was by appointment by the elders and not by hearing the voice of God. 8. There was one church in many places rather than many churches. 9. No demon was ever casted from a believer 10. Tougues were spoken in gatherings and interpreted to edify....i did not put bible verses bcus of space. Wat do u tink?

The simple answer to your question is that your churches are built on the doctrines and traditions of men, lies which Jesus Christ warned over 2000 years were all an abomination against God that drew men away from God's Truth, rendering their worship of God meaningless - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13 undecided

Kobojunkiee you are right. What pisses me off the most is that christians rarely notices this. And the ones who notices either pretends not to see this or just play it down all in the name of peace and unity when really believers should be tackling and not tolerating this false doctrines and traditions

Telling them to tackle false doctrines and traditions amounts to telling them to completely do away their church business structure which is their form of livelihood and way of dominating their followers. They can't and won't do that the same way the Pharisees before them couldn't. undecided
