Answer 2

The authentic and the real Christians who resembles the 1st century Christians are the Ethiopians. Although the Ethiopians accept Christianity during the 4th Century, the are the only people who still follow the the real christian doctrine. By the way, The Ethiopia are the ancient people on earth. The 21/2 (two and half) millions years old Lucy and the 3 millions years of age "peace' is a good example to justify Ethiopia is the origin of all human kind. This is also a country where the major three religions (Christianity, Islam and Jew live side by side. Despite the dictatorial and ethnic based government want to divide them between different religions and ethnic, the people are still enjoy living together in peace, contrary to their government hate & war monger behavior.

Answer 3

JW only began in the late 19th century. They would never resemble the 1st century chirstians. They don't have that record of how the early christians practice. Althought they claim that they are the true church. But they could never prove that. JW is more likely a cult than a religion. They have been giving false predictions of the second coming of Christ.

The best example of a Christian is Mother Mary.
1st century Christians were Catholics.

Saint Ignatius of Antioch, the earliest known writer to use the phrase "the Catholic Church", excluded from it heterodox groups whose teaching and practice conflicted with those of the bishops of the Catholic Church. In keeping with this idea, many churches/communions see groups that it judges to be in a state of heresy or schism with their church/communion as not part of the catholic Church (e.g. the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches follow this doctrine).

Answer 4

The Bible Teaching Evangelical Churches are.
The “first church” is the church that is recorded in the New Testament, especially in the Book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul. The New Testament church is the “original church” and the “one true church.” We can know this because it is described, in great detail, in Scripture. The church, as recorded in the New Testament, is God’s pattern and foundation for His church. On this basis, let’s examine the Roman Catholic claim that it is the “first church.” Nowhere in the New Testament will you find the “one true church” doing any of the following: praying to Mary, praying to the saints, venerating Mary, submitting to a pope, having a select priesthood, baptizing an infant, observing the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper as sacraments, or passing on apostolic authority to successors of the apostles. All of these are core elements of the Roman Catholic faith. If most of the core elements of the Roman Catholic Church were not practiced by the New Testament Church (the first church and one true church), how then can the Roman Catholic Church be the first church? A study of the New Testament will clearly reveal that the Roman Catholic Church is not the same church as the church that is described in the New Testament.

Answer 5

those who worship the God of Abraham,the True God:

1. base their teachings on the bible
2. worship only Jehovah AND make his name known to ALL
3. show genuine love for one another
4. accept Jesus as God's means of salvation
5. are no part of the world
6. preach God's Kingdom as man's only hope

Answer 6

No. There aren't any Christians who even nearly resemble the 1st century Christians.

If there were any real Christians in the first century, it is likely that they were fabricating a religion; they were new and inventive. They were starting from scratch, and writing scripture. All that is done today is the interpretation of what they might have written.

Answer 7

If you do your research you'll find out a lot of interesting things. Such as the practice of Baptism for the dead (1Cor 15)
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only Church that I've found that is likened to the 1st century Church of Christ.

Answer 8

No, maybe the Christians in Lebanon or Iran or Iraq. The native ones.

YOu have to WEAR A ROBE you know, to be 1st century.

SUITS were something like 18th century.

Answer 9

Yes it is. Just like Jesus and his Apostles as well as all his disciples, Jehovah's Witnesses go town to town and door to door with the good news of the kingdom searching for those that will listen and become disciples of Jesus Christ.
