The Apostles - Tony Mariot
In Christianity, the disciples were the students of Jesus during his ministry. The term disciple originally referenced the Twelve Apostles. But the gospels refer to a varying numbers of disciples over time. In One reference there were over 70 disciples.

Here are a few key reasons why the church fathers closed the New Testament canon around AD 397:
1. They wanted to distinguish authentic apostolic writings from other documents circulating at the time. Some texts like the Gospel of Thomas were considered less authoritative because they were not written by apostles or their close associates.
2. The canon needed to be closed before orthodox theology and Christology became fully defined against heresies like Gnosticism and Arianism. An open canon could allow new texts to be introduced that contradicted emerging Christian doctrines.
3. Most major churches by the late 4th century had come to general agreement on the core books, though some debate remained over a few on the edges like Hebrews

Worship in the Early Church
This document discusses worship in the early Christian church as seen in the Acts of the Apostles. It outlines how preaching was an integral part of worship used for evangelism. Key points made include:
1) Preachers like Peter and Paul adapted their messages to their audiences, with Peter addressing Jews in Jerusalem and Paul engaging with philosophers in Athens.
2) Their central message focused on repentance, faith, hope, love, and proclaiming Jesus as the risen Savior who brings eternal life.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
