Why do we have organized religion.
Q: Why do we have organized religions? Didnt Jesus just roam the earth with no religion, just healing the sick and preaching His gospel?
A: Jesus religion was of YHWH in Jewish Israel. Technically this "religion" has been around since Eden; was of the coming Messiah, it was always Christianity.
*Messiah is the Jewish word for the Greek word Christ.
Christ on earth in human flesh was ethnic Israeli of Jewish faith. He taught in the Synagogues… ”He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone” (Luke 4:14-15). “Jesus answered, “I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret” (John 18:20).
He taught out in the open air as well.
God is the God of order not disorder/chaos (1). Scripture tells us God had churches formed, there is order in the church, services were held orderly and in a certain way, just as orderly as in the Temple. We have info on the early early churches and how they conducted services and it is very similar to today [in biblical protestant churches].
Jesus did say to Nicodemus "you must be born again." (2)
And in Mark 1:15 he said "Repent and believe the gospel".
