Christianity’s root problem
Many Christians today lament the increase of lukewarmness, apostasy, false teaching, and general disinterest in what is called “the church.” Many raise the alarm in differing degrees of severity, but most really do not know the half of the real problem. It has been said that a person is either “part of the problem or part of the solution,” and it is an amazing fact that even among those Christians with awakened consciences who think they are part of the solution because they speak against a problem, they too may be part of the problem.

Disturbing parallels between post-apostolic Christianity and the unfaithful and faltering Old Testament Jews
If a testament were written beyond the New Testament chronicling “the church” since 100 AD, numerous unsettling parallels could be drawn between those who named Christ and the disobedient and unfaithful Old Covenant Jews.
