Bible Question: Jesus built only one church,why are there so many churches started since then? How can one find the church that Jesus built,now? |
Bible Answer: Hello Derdan, The Bible offers a glimpse of the early church with all of its imperfections, but also with all of the authorized practices: commands, examples, inferences. I recall hearing once of a prisoner in Oklahoma who started a Bible study group. They were getting pretty organized in worship and teaching and began to wonder if there was a church on the outside that believed as they did. [This is the truth, I met this man after he was released from prison. He spoke in a chapel service]. The group compiled a list of things they believed [20 or so items, I don't recall] and mailed them to quite a few churches in the OK City area. Along with the questions, was a request for responses. One church sent back a response and they agreed on every one. I won't tell you which church it was, but the incident revealed that honest people could look at the Bible and come to an agreement. When this man got out of prison, he began to fellowship with this same group. |
