Constantine's Dark Age • Jul 04th 1987
Church History Conference Part 2 – The Shocking Truth About Your Church
Did Christianity lose its simplicity when it gained power? Gene Edwards delivers a compelling historical critique, arguing that Christians should have always remained a persecuted minority to maintain their purity. He reveals how the era of Constantine introduced pagan “syncretism,” creating a hybrid faith where modern practices like elaborate church buildings, the pulpit, and the addictive sermon became deeply rooted traditions. Furthermore, Gene Edwards explores the unscriptural origin of the modern pastoral office, suggesting these practices fundamentally hinder the spontaneous functioning of the body of Christ. This is an essential message for those seeking an unapologetic return to the simple, ritual-free fellowship of the first-century believers, who had “no clergy” and “no temples”. Listen and be challenged to renew your focus on intimacy with Christ and the original way of gathering.
