#1, Shoebat is a source that should have been banned long ago,
#2, this piece of sectarian turmoil is another support for #1
#3, the site *may* still be the right one, but appears to be or be under a 1,000 years younger Byzantine site

I make perfect sense. Jesus is head of His church...that does not mean the Baptist church, the Catholic church, or any other church. The church is all those who believe he paid the penalty for our sins and repent. The church as an earthly institution can save no one. There are plenty of people who sit in pews every week and think that is what will get them into heaven...being catholic, Baptist, etc. Guarantees nothing. It is Jesus...solely Jesus.
