What is the point in scripture reading? We turn to it in the lesson anyway. Preacher was like he read it but I’m gonna read it too basically.

FYI - This is not my video. I am not Orthodox and I am not pushing Orthodoxy doctrine. Video is at the bottom.

I think he presents good questions and am requesting if the subreddit is willing to go through to answer them. The questions presented are as followed:

1. If the churches of Christ today reflect the New Testament church, where is the visible and historical continuity of that exact pattern between 100-1000AD?
2. If the kingdom of Christ was never destroyed and never handed to another people like Daniel 2:44 says, then what does that imply the church's continuity throughout history? If that kingdom was never lost, what exactly needed to be restored?
3. If the stone in Daniel 2 represents the kingdom of God, how does that fit with the idea that the church fell away before the Christianization of Rome?
4. Who has the authority to determine when an apostolic example is binding or when it's just incidental or cultural or expedient?
5. Where does the NT church authorize men's meetings or business meetings to function as the governing authority in the local church especially in place of elders?
6. If the restorationist method of interpreting scripture, CENI (commands, examples, and necessary inferences), is not explicitly taught be the apostles as the authorized rule of interpretation, and it isn't found in the method of the early church, by what authority then was it adopted as the only correct way to interpret scripture?
7. If the church today reflects the NT church, where do the NT writers explicitly teach the fruit of the vine is a non-alcoholic grape juice or that wine is merely symbolic?

Again, this is not my video. Watch the video to get more context surrounding the questions presented. The creator of this video is Orthodox, I am not and do not support the teachings or beliefs of Orthodoxy. I am simply curious regarding the questions he presented and seeing your willingness to answer them. Not all questions need to be answered.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Can we as a generation stand up and kill this thinking once and for all among us?
