Antlers, this is a typical answer from you. I asked a serious question and you refuse to answer. Are you unsure of yourself or do you need someone to help you answer how to "Follow Me" referring to Jesus? You see, I'm not the poster always posting about the early church and how we should follow their example.
I doubt that your question was a serious question. I suspected that your question was really a tactic instead of a desire to learn, and that was seemingly confirmed by your refusal to first answer the same question that you asked of me, and by your further comments.
My suggestion that we should certainly consider what made the early ekklesia of Jesus SO attractive to others back then…as opposed to ‘the Church’ nowadays, the one that is unattractive and hemorrhaging members and driving unchurched people further away…still stands. And more so with each passing day.
