Denominations
There are over 40,000 Christian denominations which vary in doctrines and form.
If the Church was established by Jesus Christ there should be some consistancy in what is claiming to be the Church.
We are told that we will know them by their fruits.
So what is the fruit of the His Church.
The early church provided all the social welfare of Christians. If you got the Baptism of Christ you were cast our o the social welfare system of the government of Judea run through the temple. That system was called Corban but it was much different than the Corban of the old testament.
Jesus said it made the word of God to none effect. That would mean that it would not be bearing good fruit.
Jesus came to take the kingdom away from a group that had set up this system of none effect Corban.[1] And he was going to give it to a group He called out of the world. The were going to be in the world but not of it and he was going to teach them to be His ministers.
The word disciple means student and he told his little group of students[2] that they had to give up all their property[3] and own all things in common[4] to be his disciples and the eventual ministers of his appointed kingdom.[5]
So all these Church denominations claim to be the Church.
What are the fruits?
Most people who were called Christians were forced to become a part of the Catholic Church about a thousand years after Christ instituted His Holy Church. Over 60,000,000 perished during the conflict imposed across Europe while at the same time the Catholic Church began crowning kings over one community of people after another until governments ruled vast areas with or without the peoples consent.
About 500 years later the protestant reformation attempted to go back to what the early Church was intended to be but they too often brought with them ideas about the Church that were not wholly Christ ordained. They were found dividing people by their private interpretations.[6]
The Church was to bind the people by love alone.
They were to practice pure Religion.
They were to be the Benefactors who did not exercise authority one over the other.
The Church legally defined as a government that had an identity based on two or more witnesses and the practice of pure Religion. It would not return the people to the bondage of Herod or Egypt[7]
The only way the Church can be the Benefactors of the people is by the people voluntarily coming together in a living Network of small intimate Congregations of Record that love one another as much as they love themselves.
