How did the earliest Christians differ from us.

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Jesus kept the law and therefor did not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, so where do you think his knowledge came from ?

See John 1

They were the first Catholics. They were taught via word of mouth. They didnt have a million and one interpretations of scripture thrown at them. Sola Scriptura hadnt been invented then!

Yet Jesus said, study the scriptures...you do err, not knowing the scriptures... and quoted OT scripture frequently...and Paul taught in the synagogue daily,from the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ... and the Bereans who heard Paul preach are called nobel for searching the scriptures to see if it was so.

They had the OT scriptures

And when the NT was being written, it was written that all scripture is for doctrine, correction of wrong doctrine, and for instruction in righteousness.

None of the apostles appealed to oral tradition - but Jesus did criticize the Pharisees for their tradition.

Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

BTW the Jerusalem church was the first Christian church, and it was the preeminent church for 70 years after Jesus ascended to heaven, until the Romans destroyed it in 70 AD.

 

[chad kincham]

The Christians of the time had adopted the mother and child artistic motif to identify Jesus as a king, and they consumed his flesh and blood during the Eucharist.

Paul taught all about communion.

Missing from his teaching is the need to convert the bread and wine into Jesus’ literal flesh and blood, first, before taking communion.

And Jesus said to eat the bread and drink the wine as a remembrance, of His sacrifice, at the actual last supper.

And of course in John 6 after Jesus said to eat His, flesh and drink His blood, He said His words are SPIRIT, as in spiritual, not literal.

He's God
Wait, only Adam and Eve did that

Adam and Eve portray pictures of a process which is happening within us both individually and collectively ...

I want to know your opinion on something, if a woman is married, and she has sex with her husband, does that make her a harlot in your opinion?

a harlot or immoral women has five husbands summed up as a sixth, or one that is not her own ...

 

[chad kincham]

Thus, today, through Apostolic succession, we have the church of Christ, guiding the flock.

No we don’t.

Peter was never Pope in Rome.

The Orthodox Church says Linus was the first pope, and Peter never was.

And the Bible itself proves Peter wasn’t a pope in Rome.

Shalom.

There were oral traditions in Judaism but there were not 1000s of denominations all teaching different things like now. Yeshua also said to listen and do what the teachers tell you to observe because they sit in the seat of Moses, but do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. Paul himself kept traditions and even made sacrifice in the Temple. Also, the Jerusalem Church was not destroyed in 70 AD. It remained Jewish until the edict of Hadrian and the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 AD when Judaism was outlawed and the Jerusalem church had to install gentile Greek bishops thereafter.

No, I just provided scripture to the comment you made.

as a side note; the scriptures apply no gender however they are viewed from both a masculine and a feminine perspective ....

Some can be. However, some mitzvot are only for men while others were only for woman...

there is no gender in consciousness, however gender explains consciousness

 

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

So psychological! Far out! How about in unconsciousness? Are you not conscious of if you are male or female?

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

I don't think the church in Jerusalem was operational for seventy years. Probably much less than forty years.

Jesus didn't die in the year 0, he died around 30 AD. The Jerusalem Church could not have been the preeminent church for 70 years. Also, if I'm correct, Jesus didn't reject all of their oral teachings. Paradise and Hades, for example, are not mentioned in the Old Testament, only Sheol. Sheol encompasses both Paradise and Hades. Yet, Jesus believed in them both, however, the Sadducees didn't even believe in an after life (Sheol means grave, so they interpreted it literally).

Do you believe that it is bad to attempt to understand the difference between right and wrong or gain knowledge?

let us make man in our image...

It is operational until today...

 

[klutedavid]

Impossible for the church in Jerusalem to have been operational, since it's inception.

Luke 21:21
Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are inside the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city.

There was a period of time that the church in Jerusalem, was not in operation. Due to the Roman siege and conquest of Jerusalem in AD 70.
