Then show the unbroken church protected by the Holy Spirit Christ promised to send, which Scripture records arriving on Pentecost, from 33 AD to present.

Show the unbroken line of Christians practicing waiting to batpise until adulthood, show the ones reading scriptures, show the ones who felt the eucharist was just symbolic and would say so [to avoid persecution!], show the ones who justified wars as ‘Christian’.

Whoa, kawaii.

I eschew all of the doctrines and traditions of men across the board. I am neither for nor against any of them.

I am pro-God. A Christian, plain and simple.

I believe God. I trust Him. After all, if I cannot trust God then who can I trust?

....there were no actual Christians for 1500 years but there was some sort of intangible church sans actual people....

kawaii, I find your arguments growing more and more odd, especially since, in an earlier post, you claimed to have been raised Presbyterian, only converting to Russian Orthodoxy later in your life.

Where are you coming up with the idea that all (or even many) Protestants believe this stuff? I don't know of any Presbyterian denominations who believe or teach these ideas (but then again, I don't get out much, so it might just be me). I can think of a number of Campbellite groups that might, but you weren't raised in their churches, so that hardly counts. You're attempting to hang all Protestantism for beliefs that (should) run counter to your own religious upbringing. I would hope that you'd at least give credit where credit is due, re the Presbyterians.
