Anyone who says the early church thrived without a building reeks of ignorance...

While it is true that the first century church impacted the entire world... But NOT WITHOUT A BUILDING... if you say without a building of their own, you will be correct, if you say without a building, you will be absolutely wrong.

The early church met in the temple AS their MEETING POINT for worship, prayer, fellowship and breaking of bread for the first few years of their existence before persecution broke out and they got scattered... Even with that... The Jerusalem Church continued to exist... They were meeting in the temple...A few of them, while most of the others started meeting in what we call today HOME CELLS... in their houses... Chose a particular person's house that is big and safer and meet there...

The reason they did not build any place of worship was obvious, their was intense persecution in the land against them, from the emperor to every hater of Christians, who will sell lands for them to build? Who will allow them build? Who will allow the building to stand?

It is worthy of note that in many other places, where they had little freedom, they had buildings like synagogues where they kept meeting...

The first time history indicates that believers met in buildings is in AD 321, when Emperor Constantine adopted Christianity but followed pagan tradition by building special temples for the Christians.

Do you know the Period known as the INTERTESTAMENTAL PERIOD?

It is the period which is regarded in bible history known as the 400 SILENT YEARS. Silent, not because everywhere was quiet or because there were no events but because there was no prophetic activities in Israel. All these events happened before the birth of Jesus, it was the period between MALACHI and MATTHEW, that the period between the two testaments.

This period is divided into four eras;
1. The Persian Period (538-332BC) Led by Cyrus
2. The Greek Period (332-167 BC) Led by Alexander the Great
3. The Maccabean Period (167-63 BC) known as the Maccabean Revolt.
4. The Roman Period (63-70BC) led by emperors of Rome.

Understanding The Concept of the Trinity
The father is God,
The son is God,
The Holy Spirit is God.

But the Son is not the father,
The father is not the Son,
The Holy spirit is not the Son,
The Son is not the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Spirit is not the father,

The concept of the Trinity as far as we can understand is unfathomable completely, it's a mystery that cannot be understood by our limited brains. However, this above is the best way to describe it, not the perfect way.

Is Jesus God ? Is God Jesus? Is God the father the same with God the son? Is God the Holy Spirit still God the father?
