After 300 years, New Testament mandates about being the multi-gifted, multi-functional, multi-part Body of Christ that builds up each other by gathering for ministry one to another …

Morphed in the 4th Century into pastor-centric, podium-focused institutional “services” with spectator seating that we now call “church.”

So tell me again how you’re gonna suddenly fix that entrenched, man-made system???

As Jesus said, speaking of the tradition-bound religious folk of His day:

“You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes …” Matthew 13:14–15 (citing Isaiah 6:9–10)

“And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined… And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’” Luke 5:37–39
