interesting, the catholic church mass was then, is now, and will be...the same...
odd, thought we catholics made that up....
do we have any instructions from 155 a.d. for any protestant ‘services’????
We have instructions for Pagan services from thousands of years before any Christian service ever happened. If the age of a religion is the only basis of spiritual truth, I guess we’re all heathens.
Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox churches has changed little over the centuries. In 155 AD, it was Catholic Liturgy, although not Roman Catholic Liturgy. We are Catholics too.
No. Apostasy, the “falling away,” had not yet occurred. The church was still young and adherant to the simplicity of the Gospel and the pattern set by Christ and his apostles.
There was not yet anything to “protest.”
I Tim. 4:1-3.
As a matter of fact yes we do: Nicea, August 24, A.D. 325, 7:41 p.m. "That was powerful preaching, Brother Athanasius. Powerful! Amen! I want to invite any of you folks in the back to approach the altar here and receive the Lord into your hearts. Just come on up. We've got brothers and sisters up here who can lead you through the Sinner's Prayer. Amen! And as this Council of Nicea comes to an end, I want to remind Brother Eusebius to bring the grape juice for tomorrow's closing communion service . .

Answer: Yes, it's called the Holy Bible
No but the photos from 155 a.d. really came out good. :-)
Much like the Catholic church, there was no such thing as a Protestant church in 155 A.D.
Hmmm...your right, not one word about “services”. Or Mass, either. What is described there is exactly what we did in our “protestant” service this morning. In remembrance of Christ.
