What was the first "Community"?
It's a trick question. Here's a hint. The word "First" connotates a beginning. As an example, many churches in COMMunities across America have "The First" in front of their name. Separating themselves from other, Baptist, Church of Christ, Church of God, Pentecostal, etc. The idea? They were there first.
Okay. Now that I've got you thinking. I'll just give you the correct answer.
What was the first community in the Bible? That didn't have a beginning? Here it is!
GOD!
As revealed in the two "Testimonials" that He has provided & maintained for all of us. The one true God, Triune, Trinity? 3 in One! A Unity in the diversity of "Father, Son and Holy Spirit"!
Whatever COMM-UNITY we participate in, as a Bible believing, born again believer, it should reflect the UNITY that Jesus prays for in John 17.
Please look John 17 up. It was the last prayer that Jesus felt the need to pray, before he was taken up.
