The answer to your quest is not where you are looking. Everyone feels the same as you do most of the time, but we continue doing the same thing even knowing it has never worked before. Scripture says to stay away from "traditions of men." That is denominations.

Jesus started the church and was a Jew. The first church was Jewish. The Apostles went to church on Saturday. They observed the Leviticus 23 Feasts days and observed the true Sabbath. All of the Scripture was given to the Jews, all covenants were made with the Jews.

Then came the Roman Catholic church in 325 AD and paganism was introduced to the church. The Babylonian religion that worshiped idols, several gods, and changed Scriptures, times and laws. They forbade worship on Sabbath, changed the Feast days of God to Christmas and Easter, and declared the pope could change what Jesus said. The Bible calls her the "Whore of Babylon". All these denominations that you named Broke Off of the "Mother Church". They are just daughters of the "Whore". The True church would follow the first church that follows the Bible.

IMO, you won't be happy until you get back to what God says to His people, not what some guy that follows what they teach in seminary.

The Bible was written by Jews, for Jews. If you don't understand Jewish laws,culture and customs, you can't read the Bible. Just as an example, If I said I will call you next "Turkey Day", you as an American would know I will call you next Thanksgiving. If a Jew hears Rapture will come on some day "no one knows the day or the hour", they know it will happen on some Feast of Trumpets. If they hear it will happen at the Last Trump, they know that only happens on Feast of Trumpets. Most Christians think Rapture could happen in February or June, or any random day of the year because they don't understand the Feast days of Scripture. Scripture says to "Watch" or He will come as a "thief in the night". Do you know what a thief in the night is to a Jew? He is the High priest checking his watchmen in the middle of the night and the ones he finds asleep, he sets their clothes on fire and they run away naked. We "watch", by repenting, fasting and praying in the month of Elul right before Tisheri.

Along with misunderstanding, there is also key phrases that have been mistranslated in English Bibles. If you aren't following the church started by Jesus in the Bible, you are following Babylon and that won't end well.

Amen.
Acts 15:13-21
The determination of the Nations finding salvation in the Way. Specific attention needs to be paid to verse 21. Usually ignored when quoting the impact of this judgment by James. What does it mean to you? Is there a literal understanding of his statement? What precludes an interpretation outside of the times and culture it was presented?

Ahh yes, the blame it on Babylon shtick...
the crazy never gets old...
Cornelius converts to Judaism!
You forgot to mention they made sure everyone in this new Saturday Church had to be circumsized too... like the good ol' days... Wouldn't St. PAUL be surprised to hear your take on this...

Whomever is telling you this stuff, tell them to go read the Didache for starters...

It appears that you've somehow managed to LOSE a quite a bit of information here!

Acts 20:7

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
