The time, place, and who will lead us to the right church.

If the church was established in the days of John the Baptist:

The church had no head.

The church was not purchased with blood. Matthew 20:28

The church would lack a foundation. Acts 4:10-12; I Corinthians 3:11

It is critical to learn the time, place, who, and what of the right church.

Was the church at Benchley started in AD 30-33 in Jerusalem?

No, but its teaching and practice had its start in AD 30-33 in Jerusalem.

For example, the local Mormon church wasn’t started in 1830 in New York, but we can tell from its teaching and practice that it is a Mormon church.
