In Eastern and Western Christianity, the fierce power and iron fist of
tradition, coupled with the taught purpose for the gathering of believers, rather than it rightfully being for mutual edification and building up of each other in the faith
through teaching from mature believers collectively teaching the new babes in the faith, it has become programmatic, liturgical, structured, all fueling the fire of the god of perceived "order."
Let's dig down into the Greek of all this, shall we?
Thoughts?
