Pulease. Error was creeping into the church right away in Paul’s day. The wheats and the tares have always been in close proximity to each other. That’s why the angels were forbidden from uprooting the tares, to avoid damaging the true wheat.

Agree completely...the article points out the error that soon started to come into the church.

Even the churches you mention in those links may still have some little wheat remaining, but the leadership is gone on a tare. :)

Oh.....good one! :-) Took me a minute to see it.

They have long since substituted human authority for Scriptural authority, systematically displacing clear Biblical teaching for impulses issuing from the wickedness of the human heart. They are not at all representative of what traditional Biblical Christianity produces.

Okay here's where we will probably differ. I believe that traditional Christianity departed from biblical Christianity not so long after the biblical era was over. Things such as the Lord's holy days and his sabbaths WERE observed by the early church. Once the traditional church deemed it "okay" to overturn one of the ten commandments (the sabbath commandment) it was only a matter of time before lawlessness infiltrated the church. Today it's completely off the rails. Homosexual ordinations, money grubbing televangelists, Christianity for profit, you name it and there's probably a so called Christian church that embraces it.

Christianity as a whole is so bad now because all restraint is gone. Lawlessness is the order of the day. The devil knows his time is short...use whatever analogy you like.

Why do think you have to follow dietary laws and holy days, but not circumcision?
