You have probably seen a denominational tree like this one that shows an undivided church to about 1054 A.D.
But, what did the Apostle Paul mean when he wrote of this warning to the men of Ephesus around 60 A.D.? If he really meant what he said, then there were already divisions in the church long before the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches split.
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. (Acts 20:26-31 NKJV)
Are you part of the truth? Or, have you followed savage wolves who spoke perverse things yesterday, last week, last month, last year, last century, or last millennium? If you desire to walk in the Biblical truths of the one true church, which contains all christians the world over, we would count it a privilege to get to know you. Please write to let us know
