church folks.

The Church Fathers, Early Church Fathers, Christian Fathers, or Fathers of the Church are ancient and influential Christian theologians and writers
There is no definitive list. The era of these scholars who set the theological and scholarly foundations of Christianity largely ended by AD 700. In the past, the Church Fathers were regarded as authoritative, and more restrictive definitions were used which sought to limit the list to authors treated as such.
I am here to teach all people, but especially the "body of Christ" (the Church), that the bible is sufficient for what we believe. Throughout the
centuries, men have brought many doctrines into the church that have caused confusion and separation. My desire and goal is to clarify some of these errors and bring all Christians back to the basics of the Bible.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Why did early Christians have church synods and councils?
Priests and bishops would often come together and vote on Christian theological matters due to the disunity, differences and conflict within the Christian denominations.
2.How did James, leader of the Jerusalem Church, view Apostle Paul?
Paul's new doctrine met with disapproval from the Jewish-Christians of the Jerusalem Church, who regarded the substitution of Jesus' atoning death for the observance of the Torah as a lapse into paganism.
Paul was duly summoned to Jerusalem by the leaders James, Peter and John to explain his doctrine in 50 AD.

Saint Ambrose (334-397), a keen advocate of church music is credited with introducing it into christian worship.
