In the book of acts when the apostles formed the first church where and how did they worship. The liturgical mass of today has no resemblance of our true roots. Why? "Roman" catholic should provide a small hint. What was religion like for Romans? How did that effect the catholic church when Constantine declared Christianity the state religion? Constantine was both head of the catholic church and the pagan church. Roman temples had statues of gods. Cathedrals have statues of Saints. The apostles went to synagogue on Saturday and celebrated a communion meal together on Sunday. Read acts. See the issue when the gentiles complain the food is not being fairly distributed at the communion meal and they were not getting enough to eat. It was an actual meal. Yes they broke bread, but the breaking of the bread was traditionally done at the meal. This meal was apparently in someones house. Like the last supper was in a borrowed hall. When we accept Christ he comes and dwells in us, not in a building. Where three or more gather there I am also. The first churches were small home groups, and I believe the last churches will be small home groups. We Christians are the new priesthood and Jesus is our high priest. We can all beeak bread at home and celebrate communion. Find a good home Bible study group to join. Meet with brothers for coffee to read the word often (iron sharpens iron). Start the one year plan to read through the word once every year. Celebrate communion often with your home group.
