3: We have little solid historical evidence before 200 AD about ...
New Testament Canon, not the church. God, not men decided the canon. This providence does not mean that church leaders were inspired in their selecting the canon, only that God had his eye on the scriptures the whole time and brought about His will to form the Bible we see today! Evidence before 200 AD about the canon Go to: "Canon of the Bible" Home Page Evidence before 200 AD about the canon I. Scare and scattered historical record: "Due to the scarcity of evidence, one cannot firmly conclude when exactly and as a result of what development the early church came to possess a twenty-seven-book collection called the New Testament and a two-part collection that comprises our Bible of Old and New Testaments." (Lee Martin McDonald, James A. Sanders, Editors: The Canon Debate; Peter Balla, Evidence for an Early Christian Canon: Second and Third Century, p 372, 2002) Although historians universally admit there is sketchy information about the earliest years of the church, this does not mean ... ...

4: The office of Elders, pastors and bishops
The church we read about in the Bible was organized in a very simple way. A general pattern was to have 2 or more qualified men overseeing each local congregation or church. These men could be referred to as the "eldership". Each man must meet several high qualifications which the Bible lists in two passages. Elders are the spiritual leaders of a congregation. They also watch out for the souls of the members like a shepherd. Christ is the head of every local church. There is no human head of the church. The Bible is the only written creed for each local church, rather than a man-made written creed. Each local church is autonomous and self-governing. No outside interference from others. No organizational tie between local churches. No organization larger than local churches. The Bible uses Elder, Presbyter, Overseer, Bishop, Shepherd, Pastor interchangeably and they all refer to a single office in the church. Local churches appoint their own plurality of elders using 1 Timothy 3, and ... ...

The church about which we read in the Bible is no exception to this need. The New Testament church is not a democracy. It is not an institution where every member has voting rights as to what it does and what it does not do. Quite to the contrary, it is a monarchy. It is a divine monarchy. Jesus Christ is the head or king. The Bible teaches in Ephesians 1:22-23, that God "gave him to be the head over all things to the church. Which is his body, the fullness of ... ...

Interesting, the Roman Catholic church later simplified its organization to only three levels, so that all bishops were under a single metropolitan, (which grew into a Patriarch), which they called, The Pope", or the bishop of Rome.

9: Synagogue Organization and Government: Elders, officials, attendants ...
Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. GOVERNMENT IN SYNAGOGUES A. Leadership and government Transition from Temple to Synagogue to church: 1. Qualifications change from pedigree to morality and living spiritual faith. a. The Hebrew Jerusalem temple had animal sacrifices and special "ordained" high priests in a system of clericalism based upon pedigree. Like the dynasty of Judean Kings and scribes, the High priest had to trace his parentage back to Levi though specific genealogical records. There are many examples in the Bible of the general population rejecting the successor in prophetic and kingly dynasties. Both Eli and Samuel's children were worthless and the people rejected Samuel's sons on moral basis. 1 Samuel 2:22; 1 Samuel 8:1-5 b. Synagogues began in 280 BC as a simple group of spiritually minded common Jewish men (Non-Levite) in Egypt devoted to reading the Torah and prayer. Over time a body of elders was appointed from these men. By about 100 BC the ... ...

Click to View Bartholomew Orthodox, Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch Today: 4 Competing views of organization: There are four different ways that believers in Christ view the development of papal power in Rome: The true position: True Christians follow the organization of exactly what God already revealed in the Bible. If God wanted a Patriarchal system, it would be revealed in the Bible and Set up on the Day of Pentecost. If God wanted Rome to be the all time world headquarters of the church, the first century Christians knew nothing about it and God failed to mention such in the Bible. True Christians do Bible things in Bible ways, call Bible things by Bible names and view the Bible as a complete inspired blueprint revealed once for all time. True Christians view the Bible as the only roadmap and reject all creeds and councils as of human origin. The foundational ... ...

This is the way it has been to this very day. 622 AD: The Muslims wipe out Jerusalem, Antioch, and Alexandria leaving Rome and Constantinople as the two dominant centers of power in the church. "The patriarchates of Jerusalem, Antioch, and Alexandria were distracted and weakened in the course of the fifth and sixth centuries by the tedious monophysite controversies, and subsequently, after the year 622, were reduced to but a shadow by the Mohammedan [Muslims, Islam] conquests." (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church) In this way, the devil created the political environment for the great split of 1054 AD by removing all other authorities, except these two. ... ...
