The apostles would attend the synagogue on Saturdays and then on Sundays meet for an agape meal and the Eucharist in a home church. You can see this in the book of Acts where they all lived in one community.
You are assuming that the pope Gregory calendar is the biblical calendar.
It isn’t. It misses one important day each month, a new moon day.
It is why Ezekiel 46 details three types of days:
New moon days
6 (not 5) Work Days
And Sabbath.
It is why people, if observant, can see things like Passover ( the real day the Lamb laid His life down for the sins of the world) ‘floats’ around the calendar.
Passover, the 14th day our Heavenly Father’s calendar, is ALWAYS the 6th and final work day , according to the template He gave ezekiel.
The Son finished His Work on Passover and that hasn’t changed if Passover ‘lands’ on a pope Gregory Monday..( like it did for Jew in 2014)
Saturnsday is no more holy than sun’s days..
But people who use Rome to tell time, woudnt see that..
That is prophetic if one sees Rome as the 4th kingdom in Daniel 7 that changes times and laws..
The community of believers was of one heart and mind,
and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own,
but they had everything in common.
With great power the Apostles bore witness
to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
and great favor was accorded them all.
There was no needy person among them,
for those who owned property or houses would sell them,
bring the proceeds of the sale,
and put them at the feet of the Apostles,
and they were distributed to each according to need.
Thus Joseph, also named by the Apostles Barnabas
(which is translated “son of encouragement”),
a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,
sold a piece of property that he owned,
then brought the money and put it at the feet of the Apostles.
Thank you for your post #154. God bless.
He assumed a human nature from her for vast, deep purposes: one of which was to make us partakers in His divinity as He was a partaker in her--- and our -- our humanity.
This makes all the faithful, cooperators in the salvation of the world: even you, dear, Cynical Bear!
But I won't argue with you about this. It is beyond anything I could say to you--- on this forum, especially. Simply: Mary's maternity is the source --- on the human side --- of the Incarnation.
John did; Paul did too. And I believe Scripture is the word of God.
Please show where Paul or John held one assembly responsible for what other another assembly did.
Thank you. I always felt an affinity -— better, an affiliation (being made a daughter of) — Abraham, and of the People of Israel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They didn’t really mean what they said.
I was responding to what you said:
"Christ didn't warn one church about what a different church was doing."
On he contrary: John did; Paul did too. And I believe Scripture is the word of God.
Thankfully.

Anti-semitism had been well-established by Catholicism long before Luther came along.
That’s what that sentence means. And that is the problem with Catholics needing to defend their church as perfect at the expense of truth. God is perfect. God’s Word is perfect. But none of the churches in earth are. The evidence has shown that. It is infinitely better to admit flaws and imperfections that are truly there than to falsely deny them. God is truth and wrong-doing is to be confessed, not covered up. God’s church, made up of those who truly believe in Him (believe the Gospel) belongs to Him, but it is not Him.
That doesn’t matter, because the pope, who led the anti-Semitism of the Catholic Church is infallible. But Luther was just an anti-Semitic apostate. The whole anti-Semitic issue is ridiculous on both sides, as both sides *were* guilty of it and both sides have denounced those previous behaviors. And as pointed out up thread the muslims, homosexual and liberals are pounding at the gate while free person argue about why their version of Christ is the only one that is correct and everyone else is going to Hell.
When I was a catholic, that was my unanswered question. Why, if I was supposedly in the only true church, was I sure I was going to Hell? I went to my parish priest with this question. I could tell he would have rather have been doing something else. I never got an answer, till I started reading my catholic family Bible. Then, I got my answer. I don't understand why anyone would refuse to accept assurance of salvation. It's a beautiful thing. Oh well, we keep on truckin.
“The Reformation is over. Catholics 0, Protestants 1 “
Correction...
The Reformation continues, splitting into disunity.
Something I notice is that Catholics here almost always simply ignore any evidence proving their beliefs wrong. So all they ever notice is anytime they show a Protestant to be wrong about anything In the same way their church is infallible to them because they can rationalize away anything wrong done by it. And because they acknowledge no faults in their church, they can then see it as perfect and flawless next to other churches. What would their church look like to them, though, if they judged it according to the same standards that they judge other churches?
