Don’t misunderstand me. I am not promoting Catholocism over any other denomination. Both historical and biblical references establish the church of Rome, eventually known as the Holy Roman Catholic Church as the origin of Christianity as an established religion. Other denominations are divergent from it for one reason or another. Pick a denomination, Babtist, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, etc. they all have elements of their belief systems that vary in some degree from the church of Rome. Since they involve beliefs I am not going to say they are right or wrong. It is wrong for a member of one divergent denomination to make the statement that “Any Chrstian knows” about the basic tenets of another Christian faith. The very history and divergence of Christianity belies such a defining statement.
Many would argue that the Catholic Church diverged from Biblical teachings and that the Reformation brought Christianity back into line with the Bible.
But, since this is not a religion thread, I’ll leave it at that. Not trying to change your mind, but I honestly thought the same thing you do at one time.
