And they all died, within the first century...
They chose others to help them.
Wrong again...Those helpers were given the necessary gifts by God...God picked 'em...
They developed ways of handling issues which confronted the Church.
And wrong, yet again...God developed the ways of handling the issues and had the first bunch that died write those things in a book we Christians call the bible...
All the earmarks of an organized Church are right there in the New Testament.
Every thing you stated was created by human tradition and has nothing to do with scripture...You are batting '0'...

They picked successors. The New Testament is clear about that. They started doing that in the Upper Room.
“Wrong again...Those helpers were given the necessary gifts by God...God picked ‘em...”
When it came time to pick the deacons, for instance, the Apostles said, “Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Did you see that? SEEK OUT AMONG YOU.
“And wrong, yet again...God developed the ways of handling the issues and had the first bunch that died write those things in a book we Christians call the bible...”
In other words, they passed those down. In other words, I’m still right. There was an organization. It had its own way of doing things.
“Every thing you stated was created by human tradition and has nothing to do with scripture...You are batting ‘0’...”
No, I’m batting 1000 because you aren’t even consistent in your opposition.
