The writings of Ignatius of Antioch and many other early Christians were called "forgeries" by John Calvin and other protestant leaders because even if they weren't justifying Roman Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy they still make a very strong case for them. What we can get out of their writings is that through Baptism you become a member of the One True Church (which is the Body of Christ) where you participate of the supper of the Lord and receive the Body of Christ.

Thank you for this. I love the way it starts with the dichotomy of life and death. Somewhere along the line, Christianity became about the dichotomy of heaven and hell. But the Didache says that those who are made to stumble will perish not go to hell. This is the great truth that has largely been lost and it changes everything about our understanding of God and our lives. We either remain in faith, which the Didache clearly indicates is doing the commandments of God as they are listed in this book and revealed in scripture, or not taking on the yoke of Christ. In the first case, we escape the curse of death that befalls the unrepentant sinner, or in the second case, we experience the consequence of the decree by God to Adam, and later Moses to the Israelites, that if you sin you shall die. This, at bottom, is the challenge of our lives. Believing and by the grace of God doing the will of God or living according to anything else, such as our own notions or those of anyone else.

This is quite beautiful. I am a "protestant," but willing and eager to find and acknowledge truth where I find it. "All the Bible is true, but not all truth is in the Bible." As long as we test the spirits and all teaching against scripture, ascertaining as much as possible the historical context of the various early texts, and acknowledge that as great and marvelous the teachings of the post-apostolic and church fathers might be, they are not inspired scripture, much can be learned from them. It's fascinating to see how closely the Christians of the post-apostolic age held to the teachings of the apostles, but also informative to see how a little bit of "leaven" is already beginning to creep in. The "rules" concerning fasting and saying the Lord's Prayer three times a day, for instance, are not "necessary" and should be left up to the conscience of the Believer. To command them at certain times makes for the beginning of the observance of vain ritual. On the whole, though, I have found it to be very informative and a rich blessing to read!

@PostApostolicChurch6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing. I would like to point out that "baptism" in the Greek literally means "immersion." Sprinkling, pouring, and dipping are not baptism, technically speaking. I believe the point the author of the Didache is showing is that there are situations when a person cannot find (or be brought to) water (Acts 8:36). Sprinkling, pouring, and dipping are exceptions. Normally, these things are not baptism, but if all normal immersion options are not possible, then sprinkling (etc.) is expedient. And I hope that immersion churches realize this. They shouldn't be dogmatic about how people want to give their pledge of a good conscience in baptism (1Pet 3:21), saying that all other modes are sinful. On the flip side, I hope that non-immersion churches realize what baptism actually is: an immersion. For example, Paul calls it a burial (Rom 6:4). Immersion is a burial in water, just as baptism is a burial in Christ's death. It is for this reason that the New Testament calls the act of baptism "baptism"... it is a immersion, both literally and figuratively. Thanks again for commenting! God bless!

@PostApostolicChurch5 жыл бұрын
JeOneSeven V9 Great question. We see in the New Testament references to different uses of baptism. In Matthew 20:22, it is the "baptism of suffering." In Acts 19, we see that there was "baptism into John." As we see in Matt 28 a "baptism into the Father and Son and Holy Spirit." And there are other uses in the NT also. My first thought is to remember that "baptism" isn't a holy term... at least it wasn't when the NT was written. It was a word that simply meant to "submerge." My point is that, instead of look at the NT through the eyes of Eph 4:5, maybe we should look at Eph 4:5 through the eyes of the rest of the NT. In Eph 4:5, it says "one Lord." But we see in Peter's letter that Sarah called Abraham "lord." We also see that Jesus taught that the government has "lords" that lord it over others. (But it shouldn't be that way in the church.) This is talked about just a couple verses after "baptism of suffering." See Matt 20:25. After all, lord was a common word that simply meant "master." Therefore, there is more than one lord, just as there is more than one baptism. In conclusion, I do not believe Paul is saying that there is one UNIVERSAL Lord, because we should choose each day whom we will serve: either God or money/idols. Our lord who whomever we worship. The question is whether we will worship and serve the one, true Lord. There is many lords, but only one, true Lord. In the same way, there are many baptisms. And we can use that word to describe them all. But there is only one, true Baptism that saves: Matt 28:19-20. The baptism of suffering and death ("even if I give my body to be burned but not have love") is not salvation. Baptism into John or anyone else (see Acts 19) is not salvation--though it was a God-ordained baptism for a very short time. The one, true Baptism that saves is Matt 28:19-20 (see also 1Pet 3:21). I hope this helps. God bless you!

The Didache is among the earliest of all post-New Testament documents, dating to c. 120 A.D. Thought lost for centuries, a copy was discovered in Constantinople in 1875, and translated soon afterwards. It is interesting that the Lord's Prayer (10:20) includes the doxology (minus the word "Kingdom"), because the doxology was supposedly inserted into Matthew's gospel (Luke's gospel does not have the doxology) after being borrowed from the Greek liturgy, which in 120 A.D. had not yet been developed. The belief that the doxology is not authentic is based on its absence in most of the Latin manuscripts, although it is found in almost all the Greek manuscripts (save for a few such as Codex B, which dates not to 120 A.D. but to c. 325 A.D., some 200 years later). Doubtless the doxology was dropped from the Latin in Matthew because of the way the Lord's Prayer is used in the liturgy, in which the people pray the seven petitions but only the priest says the doxology. The Didache repeats the doxology in the Thanksgiving (Chapter 9) and in the Prayer after Communion (Chapter 10).

That is, their beliefs in interpreting Revelation is unlike any popular view today. It's so different, that it will take me a lot of time to fully understand it. Maybe from the small portion of the Didache, you might say "Historic Premillennialists." But I don't think we could put any label on them. As to Didache 16:4-5, yes, they believed that the Man of Lawlessness (2Thessalonians) is a prophecy to an actual person in the future. Beyond that, there is not much more I can say. As to Didache 16:6-7, I believe it is talking about the order of events at Christ's second coming. I believe it is based off of 1Thes 4:13-18.

Yes, Didache 16:4-5 speaks of the coming of the anti-Christ and seems to point to a tribulation where the saints will be tested. In other words, the saints would not yet be raptured. And Didache 16:6-7 says that not all the dead will be resurrected at the Coming of the Lord, so I'm guessing it means the rest of the dead shall be resurrected after the millennium? You raise a very interesting point however, that we don't know enough facts about what they used to believe at that time to put a label on them. Personally I used to lean to the Amil view, but then I read that the Premil view is what the first Christians after the death of the apostles used to believe in. I wish we knew what John himself believed, wouldn't that be great?
@PostApostolicChurch6 жыл бұрын
You know, I don't think I noticed that about 16:7. Is it really saying that not all will be resurrected? First, I'm not sure if that is the correct interpretation. In John, Jesus said that everyone will be resurrected, both the righteous and the unrighteous. And so, it is my thought that the author of the Didache means: not all will be resurrected as saints. What makes most sense is that Christ will come with all His ANGELS with Him. That is what is stated in the New Testament (such as Mark 8:38). To be honest, it is very hard to reconcile 16:7 with the NT. I wonder if it was little things like this (and a couple things I mentioned at the end of my video on the introduction to the Didache) that caused the Didache to be rejected as Scripture. I agree. I really look forward to seeing what the early Christians said about John's Apocalypse and such. Victorinus wrote a short commentary on Revelation. The early Christians are an INTERESTING resource for the end times stuff.
@frikandelthaisaus6 жыл бұрын
I agree with you that the bible seems to be teaching one resurrection, both of the righteous and the unrighteous. Only in the book Revelation can the notion of 2 separate resurrections be seen, separated by a thousand years. Of course it depends if we take the thousand years of Rev 20 literally or not, future or present, in a book that's full of symbolism. Reading the whole bible, leaving Revelation out, no one would come to the conclusion that there are 2 separate resurrections or a millennium. Studying the writings of the first church fathers it seems that Victorinus is clearly amil, so is Origen. On the other hand, Lactantius and Justin Martyr can be defined as chiliasts. And a lot others are very ambiguous about the whole thing. For instance, Augustine doesn't want to take a side on the matter. I think most talk about "a resurrection" or "the resurrection", not making any comment about a so-called resurrection for two groups on different occasions, with a thousand years in between. Even the ones who believed in a literal millennium on earth with a rebuild Jerusalem don't all speak of two different resurrections (for instance Iranaeus and I think also Caius). But some seem to call the resurrection at the second coming of Christ "the resurrection of the just", which does leaves the door open for some speculation. Others, like Justin Martyr, talk openly about two resurrections. He says there will be a resurrection and a 1000 years in Jerusalem - adding to this that many, who are also good Christians, think otherwise - and after the thousand years the general resurretion and judgment of all. I think it's safe to say that only he, and maybe a few other church fathers, state explicitely this opinion about the resurrection. Most chiliasts just say that there will be a thousand years, and a resurrection...

Who should we confess to? One another. James wrote: Jam 5:16. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed." These are good instructions about the Lord's Supper for all Christians.

"Give not that which is holy to the dogs." Why would they consider bread and wine to be holy? And why do they refer to it as a sacrifice?

I hate to admit it but the Apostles' understanding of Jesus' teaching seem to point to a Christian practice that is very resemblant of todays core Catholic practices. I'm really having trouble trying to tiptoe around these facts. I'll continue to read your provided pdf.'s to get a better understanding of how the first Christians practiced the faith. They should point me in the right direction.
@PostApostolicChurch8 жыл бұрын
+mtregi You have a lot of points that are worth commenting on. Thanks for bringing those things up. SACRIFICE There are Christians who believe that every Lord's Supper/Eucharist, Jesus Christ is sacrificed again for their sins. Neither the Scriptures nor the early Christians taught this. The sacrifice here is more along the lines of Rom 12:1-2. As Jesus presented His body as an actual sacrifice for all sins once for all people, so are we to be living sacrifices for God's glory. There is a strong connection between Jesus' one-time sacrifice and us being living sacrifices within the Lord's Supper. So the sacrifice isn't Jesus' sacrifice but ours. Jesus sacrificed Himself for our salvation. The Lord's Supper connects that with us being living sacrifices for Him. HOLINESS OF LORD'S SUPPER Isn't the bread and the fruit of the vine holy? After all, when Jesus presided over the first Lord's Supper and gave them bread and fruit of the vine, He said, "This is My body," and, "This is My blood." Now, unlike the Catholic belief of transubstantiation, which says that the bread and fruit of the vine becomes these things physically, and unlike how most Christians believe that the bread and the fruit of the vine merely symbolize Jesus' body and blood, the early Christians took Jesus words seriously. They did not believe these things physically became Jesus and they did not believe that these things symbolize Jesus. Instead, they believed that after prayer is made over the bread and fruit of the vine, they become Jesus' body and blood in a real, spiritual sense. This does not happen physically or symbolically, but spiritually. Jesus spoke of the holiness of the Lord's Supper in John 6:47-58. The bread (Jesus' body) and the fruit of the vine (Jesus' blood) is the food of immortality. So yes, the bread and fruit of the vine isn't physically or symbolically holy, but they are spiritually holy. BISHOPS AND DEACONS Bishops and deacons were the leaders/shepherds and the official servants of the church. From Paul's letters, Acts, and Peter's letters, we see that bishops/presbyters/elders/shepherds (all titles the New Testament uses for the same office in the church) were appointed in each congregation to oversee the congregation. The Didache is simply rephrasing Paul's words in places such as Titus 1:5-9, 1Tim 3:1-6, and 1Tim 5:17-22. The tradition of appointing deacons is closely related to that of the bishops. From the beginning of deacons in Acts 6:1-6 to Paul's qualities of a deacon in 1Tim 3:8-13, deacons are simply servants in an official capacity. CATHOLICISM Yes, there are many things that the early Christians said that sound like Catholicism. And in some sense, this is true. The Catholic Church carries many of the doctrines and practices of the early Christians. However, the same thing can be said of the Orthodox Church. These two ancient churches love the early Christians. However, both of them practice and believe some things that were condemned by the early Christians. I'm curious which group of Christians you are most familiar with. Perhaps the group you grew up in or know the most about believes and practices things that are not from the pattern of Scripture or the early Christians. I don't mean any offense because I am in that boat too. I mean, perhaps a lot of this stuff sounds like Catholicism because it seems so foreign to how you and I were raised to believe. This is just a thought. I appreciate you and your comments and look forward to helping each other on this spiritual journey. God bless!

+Post-Apostolic Church Thank you very much for you time and explanation. I grew up in both a Catholic and Baptist environment not knowing much from a theological perspective. So I was exposed to both the Protestant and Catholic way of doing things. Pretty much just went to Church out of respect with no knowledge of why I practiced Christianity the way I did.The Bible is a good resource, but because of thousands of Christian denominations and interpretations I think it would be best to look to antiquity for clarification/inspiration on how Christianity was intended to be practiced. This sparked my interest in the Didache and Early Church Fathers. Logically, if anyone knew how Christianity should be practiced they surely would have.

Whats interesting about the 'Didache' is that though it mentions 'baptism in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy ghost', there is no definition of the 'trinity'! Surely if it is the 'central doctrine of the christian church' there would be at least some mention like 'There are three persons on one God' or 'God the Father. God the Son & God the Holy Spirit', but no! Nothing more than a direct quote from Matt 28:19. Thus the 'Didache' is faithful to the NT, no mention of the 'trinity' or its specific definition.

I have a genuine question. How much of the Didache can be applied to people living in the 21st century living in the west? Some of it is obviously for all generations and I don’t dispute that. But like the part of a traveling apostle etc… not sure how that would apply to our day.
@PostApostolicChurch Жыл бұрын
Great question! You're right about the section about traveling apostles. That was a practice in the first century. While there are no apostles today, you could still apply that section to other ministers of the gospel or even the poor/needy. When it comes to the Didache, I believe it would be worthwhile to put the things it talks about into practice. But also remember that the Didache is not Scripture. Therefore, appreciating and applying the Didache is an individual choice. For example, when I read Didache 4:5, "Be not a stretcher forth of the hands to receive and a drawer of them back to give," I realized that this is something that I should apply in my life. This verse has been in the back of my mind for years. It has helped me live out what Jesus said about if I have two of something, I should give someone who has none.

What we see in some of the comments herein is how ideologically driven many protestants become, i.e. an unbalanced belief in sola scriptura makes them unable to think logically. Many documents written very early in the church's history, particularly those by the apostolic fathers, were written in the flow of the history of the cannon so reveal not just the written word but also the early traditions that were taught by word of mouth by the apostles. Thus, though not scripture, they can give great insight into how scripture was understood at that time. If we wind forward to the reformation we find that Luther, Calvin & Zwingli couldn't even agree on the meaning of the eucharist. All were earnest, sincere men but they can't have all been correct. This is such an obvious problem for those that hold to sola scriptura. Clearly scripture is not self interpreting. The myriads of denominations arise from different interpretations of scripture. So those who want to rant about scripture only.... there's an elephant in the room & the 1000's of denominations are pointing at it. The only ancient churches are rcc and the orthodox church and they by no means teach the same theology. The Orthodox church has not changed its teachings, the rcc has constantly added dogma particularly in the last 1000 years. But only one of those 2 can be the catholic church as defined in the creed. Can't be reformed churches as they didn't exist.

Excellent comment!! I believe you are spot on and have written it so very well. After diving into the Pre-Nicene Christian writings, this is what caused me to question sola scriptura.

Not in all subjects, but certainly in most. God bless you!

The teaching of the apostles, eh? 😄 It spends more time on fasting (a doctrine that none of the apostles spent any time discussing) and trivializes baptism, which the Apostle Paul talks about in three of his epistles. Catholicism looks to this book as some great work of the first century but even if is is from the first century (which is doubtful), it comes from a source that does not abide by the doctrine of Christ.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, *According to your faith be it unto you.* Matthew 9:27-29 KJV Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, *Why could not we cast him out?* And Jesus said unto them, *Because of your unbelief:* for verily I say unto you, *If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.* But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, *Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?* And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. *Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.* Matthew 14:25-33 KJV And as they thus spake, *Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.* And he said unto them, *Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.* And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. And he said unto them, *These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.* Luke 24:36-47 KJV Afterward *he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.* And he said unto them, *Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

+Bradley Hauf No, there is no reason to believe that this passage was misinterpreted or mistranslated. The Greek is clear. When it comes to sin, sometimes we should flee from them (1Cor 10:14, 2Tim 2:22) and sometimes we should fight sin with goodness (Rom 12:21). When it comes to temptation, fleeing/escaping is exactly what Paul said we should do (1Cor 10:12-13). Off the top of my head, the only Scriptures about evil fleeing from us speak of Satan fleeing from us when we submit to and obey God (Jam 4:7, 1John 5:18).

@PostApostolicChurch8 жыл бұрын
+Bradley Hauf If you have a different approach to etymology in mind, I'm all ears. About fleeing, what I know is that the Greek word is a primary verb that means to run away. Being a primary verb, it would mean that the subject of the sentence would be the one who would run away. It would not refer to the object of a sentence which would mean "to cause something to run away." Is there any evidence for that interpretation? Do I have any thoughts upon the matter of procrastination? Yes. Throughout all the Proverbs, there are many proverbs that talk about the incredible foolishness of procrastination, usually called laziness. For example, Proverbs 6:6-9 says that the ant is more responsible and wiser than a person who is lazy. I agree with you that procrastination is a form of idolatry. Loving one's own pillow and/or not having a reason to get out of one's bed/chair/house is ungodly. Jesus said very harsh things about a lazy person (Matthew 25:24-30).

@PostApostolicChurch7 жыл бұрын
Excellent question. When it comes to the topic of supporting teachers and ministers, Paul gave similar instructions in 1Cor 9:1-14. And even when it comes to supporting elders and shepherds, Paul gives the same instruction in 1Tim 5:17-18. If these leaders of the church and sharers of the gospel have a right to receive their support from the church, then the church has a responsibility to support them. However, as the Jews were commanded to give their firstfruits, I don't believe Christians are under that specific obligation. We still have a responsibility and expectation to support our spiritual leaders, our ministers, and the poor. But we are free to do so as each person's love demands. Our giving is completely voluntary--both in the amount we give and in every manner we give (2Cor 9:7). And most importantly, Paul said that our support of others is a reflection of our love (2Cor 8:1-15). I hope what I said makes sense. Blessings and so forth!

800 AD? "Many English and American scholars once dated the text to the late 2nd century AD, a view still held today, but most scholars now assign the Didache to the first century...The Didache is mentioned by Eusebius (c. 324) as the Teachings of the Apostles along with the books recognized as non-canonical: 'Let there be placed among the spurious works the Acts of Paul, the so-called Shepherd and the Apocalypse of Peter, and besides these the Epistle of Barnabas, and what are called the Teachings of the Apostles, and also the Apocalypse of John, if this be thought proper; for as I wrote before, some reject it, and others place it in the canon.'" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didache#Date,_composition_and_modern_translations Penny? I missed that, but it is probably a transliteration, as in converting drachmas or shekels into modern coinage. Yes, there were abortions in the ancient world. See the Hypocratic Oath (fifth and third centuries BC): "I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner, I will not give to a woman an abortive pessary." An abortive pessary was a suppository fashioned to induce abortion (perhaps miscarriage), but other abortifacients were available as well, they were just as potentially dangerous to the mother as to the unborn child, so the Greeks and Romans would simply leave the newborn out in the woods, or someplace where it may be discovered by a barren couple or sex trafficker, who would raise it to be a prostitute, male or female. The fact that abortion and killing that which is begotten are placed together indicates the early belief that taking the life of the unborn was equal to murdering the already born.

Matthew 28:19 is not original in this document. Eusebius of Cesarea quotes it very different. By comparing Eusebius´quotes of the Bible, we can say with certainty, that Matthew 28:19 is an illegitimate intrusion in the Gospel of Matthew.

@THE BHSC - The Introduction to Paul´s Epistles (ALL Epistlçes) has a word that is not found in the Greek. So, the correct translation is "God our father, and Lord Jesus Christ." OR: God our father WHO IS Lord Jesus Christ. (Strong´s Reference G2532.

ALSO, Isaiah 6:8 is in the SINGULAR (G1473). That makes Genesis 3:22 also same mistake. Genesis 11:7? The SUBJECT is in Verse 5 and 6: SINGULAR (Lord). Therefore, who died and authorized the "translators" to go against Deuteronomy 4:2 and REvelations 22? Nobody!

Part 3: Genesis 1:26? Oh, yeah! The Lord Made man without anybody´s help! Verse 28 is in the SINGULAR, so Verse 26 is also in the SINGULAR. John 5:7-8 should read "... and these 3 are 1 in Christ Jesus.

That is an interesting thing to say. If you read the Didache, you will find that Lord is used over 20 times. Will you explain how using "Lord" hides the real name of God? Why is using Lord wickedness?

The new testament itself uses Lord in the greek for Yahuah, so I guess it's less of an issue to God as it is to you. Maybe back in old testament days he needed a name more because there were many gods that people worshipped. That's my guess.
