[Cronos]

Christ had not even been crucified, nevermind ressurected when it was revealed to his disciples that He was Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Typical "Bible Christian", reads what they want -- ImaGraftedBranch is referring to the time AFTER Christ was crucified. Did ImaGraftedBranch say that that was the FIRST time Christ revealed himself to them? NO. Did ImaGraftedBranch say that Christ did not reveal himself to be God's Son before? No.

You assumed something and put words in his mouth.

It's a typical practise of those that attack God's Church.

[Cronos]

And by that term "Bible Christian", I don't mean to denigrate our brethern who read scripture diligently and ponder on The Word. I mean those who read a little and like to think they know it all, like to think they can co-opt the teachings of Christ and His Church over 2000 years

[Rokke]

You are incredibly defensive. I quoted Ida verbatim. I put absolutely no words in anyone's mouth. I asked a simple question. A simple response was all that is required. Your leap to an aggressive attack on "Bible Christians" is very revealing. And unfortunate.

With all due respect, the Church is the body of believers, and I don't mean "the universal Church any belief goes" type, I mean true believers in Christ Jesus. So it doesn't necessarily follow that one who doesn't believe exactly like you do is attacking the Church.

The Church I belonged to recently said they were the first Church with an unbroken line back to the Apostles. The Catholic Church thinks it is. They both believe in Jesus Christ as savior. I consider you a good Christian and I consider most of them the same.
