The Early Church

Tim Prussic posted a helpful post examining the forms of government coming out of the synagogue system of Jewish worship during the time of Christ and the apostolic era. While Tim is specifically responding to a an argument attempting to support the government of the Papacy via the synagogue, I think it also has application for that group of Christians who deny that the the church today resembles the ecclesiastical structure of the early church. To paraphrase Tim, “The synagogue system looks a lot like the Presbyterian system.” The Presbyterian system doesn’t look like the home church movement much at all, though. Food for thought.
