How many men were required before a synagogue could be established during Paul's travels between Cornith and Phillipi? |
No Numbers No Buildings
Though it might appear to be splitting hairs, the early Christians were not establishing synagogues, which is the term used for the places Jews worship. For that matter, they were not establishing churches (the term for the building where Christians worship), either. They were spreading the Good News of salvation through Jesus, which resulted in establishing groups of believers. In the early days of Christianity, the believers themselves were considered the church. Since the early Christians were not establishing a formal place of worship, numbers were not an issue.
