You originally wrote: “Read the history of the Didache and you learn it was altered more than once to reflect Romanism of a much, much later age.”

It started as a Jewish document, and was changed by early Christians (1st or 2nd century, according to historians) to reflect the teaching Christ handed to the Apostles. The fact that it reflects “Romanism,” as you put it (rather rudely, I might add), is an indication that the early Church was Catholic, which is why I brought it up in the first place.

My comment was factual and any rudeness is simply your perception. Romanism is the amalgamation of Christianity and the pagan customs, practices and beliefs it incorporated.

In regards to the didache, we do not know how many times it was changed nor do we know what centuries the changes were made. All we know is we have a copy from the 400s ad - more than 300 years after Christ.

As such, it does not represent the early church nor is there any certainty it represents the teaching of an Apostle.

Best.
