What happened to the 1st century church?

This podcast is about the vast differences between the 21st century church and the 1st century church. I made a video about the origin of the doctrine of the trinity on youtube. This video is guaranteed to shock people who think they know the Bible: https://youtu.be/WIL2-LcT0Ow [https://youtu.be/WIL2-LcT0Ow]

Signs of the End

This episode is about the signs described in Matthew 24 of the end of the age.  Most of this audio was originally recorded in Feb 2022, with a few sections added later, so the dates mentioned in the recording are of events at the time of the middle of Feb 2022.  I was planning to upload this sooner but I've been busy making youtube videos about some of the content on these podcasts.

Church Government

This is part 2 of the last episode on human government, both subjects wouldn't fit into a 30 min maximum.  In this episode I compare what the NT describes about both the authority structure and leadership styles of the NT/ 1st century church with modern christianity today.  Some of the issues with organized religion I mention in this episode are also talked about in more specific detail in this two videos: Video link             https://youtu.be/nyfeY8IlYUw            [https://youtu.be/nyfeY8IlYUw]from about 2 minutes to about 6 minutes into the video Video link             https://youtu.be/qfcSTwBt5uE            [https://youtu.be/qfcSTwBt5uE]in the last two minutes of the video Both these videos make mention of the problem of elites in positions of power in the church and the worship of man instead of God.  A real church should have all decisions  made by the Holy Spirit, not a human dictator.

The Biblical Description of the Origin of Human Government

This episode is based on the verses of the Old Testament that refer to the very first human government and similar characteristics of all the other ones that followed.  The point of this episode is that all human leaders all follow a repetitive pattern throughout history which God predicted beforehand.  I refer mainly to verses from Genesis and also the book of Jasher referred to in the books of the Old Testament.  This is the last episode of season 2 and the continuation of this episode will be at the start of season 3.  Happy new year!

Lack of Reverence in Contemporary Worship

This episode has an unusual origin, I didn't plan this episode, an elderly man I know handed me a note as I was on the way to church, and as I read it this episode was born.  The sum of this message is that we have lost our reverence for Jesus and definitely don't have time to listen to His spirit in our services.  Those of you who hate this message will want to avoid the first episode of season 3, where I will be talking about what I think the cause of this is in much greater detail and what needs to be changed in the modern corporation style church.
