For the first 300 years… the DEBATE centered on/around an EVENT…NOT on a BOOK! ______________________________________
The SUCCESS of the CHURCH is NOT… BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO!
Because…
THEY HAD NO BIBLE TO TELL THEM SO!
The SUCCESS of the CHURCH was centered around… EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS TO THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS! ______________________________________
