Thank you for visiting our site. Our site is dedicated to the questions of the doctrines and practises of the Early Church. However there are different notions and ideas concerning the Early Church. Our understanding of the term 'Early Church' is the idea of Church submitted only to the traditions of the Apostolic teachings; teachings of the Apostles through their words and written epistles (cf. 2 Th 2:15).

God is Love

Why are we Christians? We are Christians because of Christ. We have recognized in His human nature the perfect embodiment of God, which was expressed through His actions, reported by His closest friends while He was among us. In the maturity of His character there was manifested the dignity of human personhood, which has the potentiality in each of us. His character, expressed in His actions, also reveals who He is as a God. The highest revelation of God through the history of the communication between Him and us, was when He revealed Himself in the human flesh. It is the culmination of God's revelation, where He tries to tell us one important thing, namely about His exceeding love for the dignity of our human nature, created in His image.

The trustworthiness of the testimony of Christ's resurrection

The foundation of Christian faith lies in the historicity of the two most important events in the history of mankind: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Christian faith is based upon the historical claim that Jesus bodily resurrected from death after being dead for three days.

In this article, we will provide good reasons for the belief in the historic authenticity of Christ's resurrection.

We witness the beginnings of the cultural influences on the early Christian Church when the Roman government under Constantine in the early fourth century recognized the Christians as a legitimate religion. Many pagan practices by other religions throughout the Roman empire were adopted into the church for the purposes of appeal and general acceptance by the masses.

Of course these pagan practices were not adopted without them being altered to fit into the Christian faith, never the less, the practices of the early church were not adopted by the masses but rather the practices of the early church were adapted to fit the cultural of the day.

Mirage: a misleading appearance, usually in the desert or at sea, resulting from a reflection of some distant scene in such a way as to give the impression that it is near. Often the subjects reflected are inverted.

Brothers and sisters in the Lord, it is of utmost importance for us to abandon the pursuit of the mirage of modern Christianity.

Pre-Constantinian Church

In this section we are going to look at just some of the practices of the early church believers for approximately the first 250 years of the church. In 313, Constantine issued the Edict of Milan legalizing the practice of Christianity. We have many today that refer to the church fathers as being from this time forward but really the church fathers were the 11 Disciples and Paul, with many co-laborers, not for instance St. Augustine, St. Athanasius, or Gregory of Nazianzen, let alone theologians such as Luther or Calvin.

By the time of the Apostle John's death the world had been completely evangelized with the Church fully established upon the teachings and commandments of Christ and the Apostles. The practices of this original group lasted for several generations until the church began to blur the distinctions between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world under this new governmental favor.
