The Christian Church was born on Pentecost in Acts Chapter 2.  Jesus had left the earth and, just as He had promised, the Holy Spirit came down to earth with a very special mission: to indwell the believer.  From that day until this – about 2,000 years – the Church has struggled to remain true to the scriptures.  One of the Church’s most damaging departures was a slide into legalism; that is, the belief that only with the right behavior down here can we even hope to make it up there.

Seems Folks want to add to Jesus and in doing so take him away from those who seek him.
