There are no Gothic cathedrals, or even Romanesque ones.
There are no mission boards.
In the Bible, there are no committees and thus no committee meetings.
There are no Sunday Schools or small groups.
There are no Crusades, either against the Turks or of the Billy Graham variety.
There are no dioceses.
Don't look in the Bible for any crusades on campus, either.
There are no local, state, or national associations.
There are no denominations, seminaries, or denominational seminaries.
There are no Christian bookstores in the Bible.
There was only one person in the New Testament who tried to use a worldly weapon to defend Christ, and he was severely rebuked.
There are no megachurches.
There are neither hymnals nor worship leaders.
These are things that have been added to the Christian faiith over the last two thousand years. I'm not saying they're all harmful, or even as harmful as each other. But they weren't there in the beginning.
