Contemporary Christians of the United States are different from the New Testament early days Christians/Jews. We have church buildings and they did not. We live in the modern western world and they lived in the ancient and eastern way of thought. Most of them were Jews who came to believe Jesus was the Messiah. Most of the contemporary Christians in the United States are Gentile Christians. There are modern Messianic Jews who do believe Jesus is the Messiah and Savior of the world. We have modern instruments to use with our singing and the old days Christians barely had an instrument within 5 miles of their worship meetings. Our music is sung in English and their music was sung in Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew. The Messianic Jews of today will often sing in the Hebrew style and in the Hebrew language. We have the same core beliefs as those of the New Testament Christians. The NT Christians did not have the "Roman Catholic Church or a Pope." Contemporary Protestant Christians and Messianic Christians do not have the Roman Catholic Rule or the Pope either.
We believe the Scripture is the only authority for the believer as well as God Almighty.

If by practice Zen the processes of maintaining inner calm, meditation and the instantaneous attempt to understand events is meant, anyone can practice Zen.

The enmity stems from the belief that there is only one path to God.
