There is such a thing as false christian, the 'Church' is anyplace 2 or 3 gather to talk about God, when you reference something from the Bible that is equal to God putting in His POV so it is as close to face-to-face as it can get. A large group sitting in silence listening to 1 person drone on about something nobody is allowed to question is not what is supposed to happen. More like a toned down version of what happened in Acts 2.

By right a person who starts to study the Bible @20 might take 5 years, a person at 30 can do it in a month and not even push it unless he has a lot of wrong versions to displace first and there is no shortcut to that step.
