I’m a Messianic Jew. Do I count? I mean Yashua being Jewish and all. Rome took over and look what happened. I’ve read the history of the popes. And that church history. But then, there was Luther.

It’s an open thread, not a caucus designation.

Anybody is free to participate.

I see the concept as proposed by the Catholic church an attempt to put their claim to being the one and only true church started by Jesus beyond any possibility of refutation.

Do I count?

To God - YES! To those who believe in God and to who proclaim Jesus is their Savior - YES! We are family.

You wrote:

Toward what?

“I mean Yashua being Jewish and all.”

Since Jesus released us from the ceremonial law, does it matter?

“Rome took over and look what happened.”

The then known world was converted. Yes, and?

“I’ve read the history of the popes.”

No, you probably just read about a few bad ones. Almost no one has read the history of the popes. If you have noyt read all of Ludwig Pastor, then your claim of having read the history of the popes is false.

“And that church history. But then, there was Luther.”

Just like that? See, you could not have read the history of the Church then!
