Average “Christians” today would be COMPLETELY unrecognizable to the early church. Weak Christianity is spreading like wild fire throughout the Body of Christ - and has been for nearly 1,000 years! Would those whose parents and grandparents walked and talked with the apostles recognize you as a Christian?

☠ Italy's crypts reveal TRUE Christianity and FALSE BELIEVERS
Today on #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about the Capuchin Crypts and the Catacombs of Pricilla in Rome, Italy - more so, the people interred within. In the span of 1,500 years we see the church go from faithful believers in Jesus to h ell-bound ascetics obsessed with their own worthless works. Which group would you fit in with more? The early persecuted Church or the powerful gnostic Catholic monks? It all depends on where you faith is placed!
