"Do you want fries with that?"

A silly illustration, I know, but my point is a simple one.   Why do we think that we have a smorgasbord of options in regards to our religious practice?  Do we seriously think that worship is rightly done when it is something that moves US?  Do we choose what doctrines we believe to be true because they seem right to us?
If we go back to the first century church, i.e., the church under the apostles' direction, do we seriously think that each was doing what they thought right?  Of course not.  Each church was started by an apostle and moved in a certain direction with certain doctrines.  Any questions were passed to the apostles for clarification.
And later on, when questions or controversies arose, an ecumenical council was formed to answer the question.  The answer was another question that is, "what has the church always/believed?"
This is the question we should ask now.
