Early Christian Mistakes
When Jesus announced his intention to go to Jerusalem and suffer, Peter tried to stop Jesus from going. Jesus said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan!" The Church has always made mistakes.
The Epistles were written by the Apostles to correct the widespread misunderstandings of the early Christians. Throughout the Epistles there are numerous warnings against false teachers. In 2 Thessalonians Paul corrected the believers who thought the resurrection had already happened. In 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses improper worship practices influenced by Greek traditions, and in Galatians, Paul addresses the question of whether Gentile converts to Christianity had to be circumcised.
In Revelation, Jesus rebuked the Church of Pergamum for holding to the teachings of Balaam, and the Church of Thyatira for tolerating the prophetess Jezebel.
