I don't think the first church was even sit up as an organization so am wondering how did the church world as a whole become so political?

Sister A, with respect we know that James was the titular leader of the church and that he arbitrated disputes. We know he did so between Peter and Paul.
Jesus had given the keys to the kingdom Peter, yet somehow, James the Brother of Jesus was raised above Peter for the leadership of the Church as a whole. I believe that James was raised by acclimation of the Apostles. |
