Simply Christian - An Intro

There are many roadblocks to adequately explaining New Testament Christianity to others. One of the main roadblocks is the fact that most people who claim to follow Christ are split into various denominations and sects. Because this is so common, people have the idea that it is absolutely impossible to be a Christian like they were twenty centuries ago. But not only in theory, but in fact, it is possible to go back before any denomination was ever established and be simply a Christian.

In this series of essays, we will explore this idea of being pre-denominational. We will attempt to tear layer after layer of creeds, prayer books, and erroneous teachings to return to the pure and simple teachings of Christ. These teachings have been revealed to us in the New Testament, and that will be our main source of study. First, we will examine the preservation of New Testament Christianity. After that, we will look at the practices of the early Christians. Finally, we will see what God's plan is for those who seek to restore the ancient faith in the present day.

I ask two things of you: open your Bible and your mind. Please put away your preconceived notions and ideas, and "receive with humility the word implanted which is able to save your souls" (James 1:21).
