The history of what might be called "modern Christianity" concerns the popular ideas of religion from the Early Modern history of Christianity. That history is said to have begun with the Protestant Reformation round the 1500s. Some say it ended in the late 18th century with the onset of the Industrial Revolution and the events leading up to the French Revolution of 1789.
What ever the Christian religion is, by definition it should only include those who actually follow and conform to the teachings of Jesus Christ. People were trying to alter and distort the Doctrine of Jesus even before the efforts of Constantine.
Constantine established the one of the first Modern Christianities in 300 AD. In the 1500s to the 1800s it can be said Protestantism was the new Modern Christianity. So, those after that period would have been the new modern and that would make us the New New Modern.
What is posing as a Christian religion has gone through many many changes with each generation, to say nothing of the thousands of denominations, imagining they all have it right. They not only fail to conform to Jesus and The Way but also fail to conform to what at one time qualified as Religion much less Pure Religion.
The terms here like new and modern refers to different form of Christianity that were altered from the original teachings of Christ. There are numerous directives and direct instructions by Christ which are simply overlooked or ignored by modern religious doctrines. This altering of the word through sophistry began from day one, continued through Constantine and by 1066 had formed a completely different alternative Christianity that had little to do with Christ or His teachings.
If we honestly study the early Church, what it was actually doing, what the world was doing as well as why the Church was not a part of the world of Rome we might begin to understand what the Christian conflict was really about. It will become clear that repentance is again required. There is a shocking contrast and disparity when a comparison is made to Modern Christian practices and beliefs of what the early Church did and did not do which got them persecuted by the world of Rome.
Modern ministers suggest, even teach, that the kingdom appointed by Christ to the Apostles[1], is not a Kingdom at hand and distract people with a new definition of religion that is not compatible or even similar to that given us by James' statement on Pure Religion or Paul's directives about who will and will Not inherit the kingdom.
It would surprise many Modern Christians to discover what the Christian conflict was between those early believers and the Roman world if they were willing to see the truth when it is presented. Many Modern Christians are doing daily what early Christians who knew Jesus refused to do under persecution even when facing death.
The Church at Ephesus was commended for its work of exposing false teachers but warned that it should not neglect Thy first love[2] and "repent, and do the first works."[3]
The early Christians not only practiced Pure Religion they refused to practice the Public religion that Modern Christians are so fond of today. Grasping these concepts in the context of the history of the early Church and the daily practices and deeds of the modern Church goers can clear away the fog and confusion, the smoke and mirrors, created by the Modern Church.
By revealing the simplicity of the Gospel of the kingdom as preached by Christ and His appointed ministers including what Paul the Apostle was preaching you learn what Christ's true followers should be doing and how it sets you free in deed.
- ↑ Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
- ↑ Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
- ↑ Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
