>> agree.. Like in @300a.d. when the roman catholic church split from the world wide church to form a cult.. ugh.. denomination.. ugh.. the really real church.. ugh Oh!.. I 've done it now.. LoL...
Interesting, since the canon of scripture all Christians use (even the Episcopalians) use wasn't complete until at least 360ad. Nobody had a *completed* canon of the New Testament as recognized today until that time (And even some of the patristic fathers didn't have the enire listing.)
How can the canon of scripture be trusted since it God gave it throught this "schismatic cult", much later than the claimed dates of the Catholic "apostasy"?(100ad -312ad)
Basically, if the Church went into apostasy from 100-312ad, then you are using a canon delivered through an apostate Church -- no way around this.
All of christianity has to trust the Canon of the New Testament as delivered throught the Roman Catholic church -- there was no other complete canon before the mid to late 300s (there *were* incomplete canons, some were close.)
And, if he Church went scismatic in 300ad, why didn't the Catholic Church in England split off back then? Think about it.
"Works" or following scripture is not what makes you a christian..
Dogma is one of the symptoms of apostasy.. Dogma is the Ju-Ju bag of clergy or witch doctors.. i.e. why Rhema(gk) is spoken of as superior to Logos(gk)... If you know what I mean.. And you "may".. If not then I may be ugh!... be wasting YOUR time.. ;)
