Getting upset? Who taught the Gentiles? They were Jews. Who wore the ephod? Could you show me how many Pharisees wore the ephod? Did Jesus, did Paul? How about James, John, Peter or Andrew?

They met in homes that were villas. Check it out before you call some ignorant. Did you know that Rome had a population that lived in small apartments that were so small that only a few people could live in them.
Hardly a place to hold a home Bible study with Pepsi and pizza.

Ignorant? Where did you get that number? Please produce the primary source.

Only after 64 AD, and Nero's edict was imposed.

Where were the catacombs located Antipas? Have you ever considered how large the Roman Empire was? The Christians met in places like caves, and fields, vineyards, and VILLAS. They were large groups, and not 20 pizza eating soda drinking Bible students.

So, Paul charged for his epistles? Highly unlikely. The epistles were handed over and copied and sent to other churches to read and teach and preach from.

What a smoke screen, get off it. The xmas is not Christian, it never was. It is a Roman Catholic celebration. Why should my family and friends have to live another religions feast? It makes no sense.

You're crying foul over the wafer and then you ram a Catholic Mass down my throat? It's called maybe more logical than you?

Getting upset? You are allowing yourself to get upset instead of looking at this for what it is. Why allow yourself to get offended over this?
