Proud Restorationists humbled

Proud Restorationists humbled [∞]

The claim of the Restoration movement was to return church practice to that of the first century church.

Since they too were unable to read the scriptures the way Jesus did, they could not actually restore anything. They simply used the extant scriptures as a lowest common denominator to effect a mini-ecumentical movement.

They have not restored the first century hermeneutic, and could not restore the first century teaching of Christ from all the scriptures.

What started as a free will submission to a lowest common denominator, has often turned into another wave a Pharisaical legalism.
