From what I have read in the New Testament it appears that many of the churches had issues.And all of them fell to false teaching in less than 100 years after the apostles died? Where was Jesus’ church that preached the “correct gospel” before 1500AD? Do you have any evidence of it outside of the scriptures? I’m sure you recall what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18? The gates of hell will not prevail against His church. So where was His church for the first 1500 years? Was it hiding behind the scene not bearing any fruit at all, or was it the same place it had always been? How is it that all of the apostolic churches within the first 100 years would adopt a foreign false gospel without any sign of resistance? Did evil prevail over all of His Church the first 1500 years?
Some churches such as the Galatians had accepted an alternate gospel. The Corinthian church had assorted problems such as church divisions, the apostleship of Paul, e.t.c.
The question obviously can be fairly asked; were there any of these churches free of doctrinal problems?
The initial church had a variety of problems and even down to this day, things have not changed.
