How did this come to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Many modern Christian churches prides themselves on being \u201ca New Testament church,\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;yet what they practice and believe is often very different from and even opposed to the teaching and practices of the apostles and primitive, first century church. For example, life for the apostolic believers in Jerusalem revolved around the temple (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%202.46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 2:46<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%203.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3:1<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%205.19-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5:19-21<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%205.42\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5:42<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2021.26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 21:26<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2022.17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">22:17<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2024.18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24:18<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2025.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">25:8<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2026.21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26:21<\/a>), and for those outside of the land of Israel, on most Sabbaths, they attended the local synagogue (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2013.14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 13:14<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2014.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14:1<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2017.1%E2%80%932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17:1\u20132<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">18:4<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">19<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2019.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">19:8<\/a>). Not only did the first apostles and early believers&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>celebrate any pagan influenced holidays such as Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Lent, and the rest, but they adhered to the Torah or law of Moses (see references below). The Book of Acts record is also clear that early believers kept the Bible festivals (as outlined in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Lev%2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lev 23<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%202.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 2:1<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2018.21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">18:21<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Acts%2027.9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 27:9<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/1%20Cor%205.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Cor 5:8<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Jude%2012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jude 12<\/a>) of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Day of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, and the Eighth Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, the book of Acts records that both Stephen and Paul were falsely accused of teaching that the laws and customs of Moses were nullified, and, as a result of this false accusation, both lost their lives defending Torah-obedience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hundred other examples could easily be given showing how the Christian church has veered away from the Hebrew or Jewish roots of its faith, but hopefully, the reader gets the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So what happened to cause Christianity to veer<\/strong>&nbsp;so widely from the Hebrew or Jewish roots of its faith and to arrive at the place where it hardly resembles that religious faith from which it sprang? This is not an easy question to answer since one must look back nearly 2000 years and attempt to reconstruct the times in which our spiritual forefathers lived. Moreover, we must understand what was transpiring politically, religiously, and socially at the time to answer this question properly. It is also imperative that we understand the contextual social and linguistic fabric, the backdrop of history, and the parade of political and economic events which happened one after another between the years of A.D. 70 and A.D. 135. Then and only then can we understand how the church became divorced from its Hebraic roots and became Greco-Roman and Western in nature and combined itself with an admixture of with pagan and antibiblical doctrines along with pagan practices, traditions and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let us go back nearly 2000 years for a short lesson in history. The early church was Jewish and much of what they did centered around the synagogue and the temple. As already noted, references are made 25 times in the Book of Acts to the Jerusalem temple and 19 references to various local synagogues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The
