unfortunately, the deformation came along, USING ONLY THE SCRIPTURE and thus arriving at their own understanding, thus turning the traditional teaching from Christ and his apostles and their immediate sucessors, on its head...

If you want this to remain a "Caucus" thread, I suggest you have this post pulled.

I understand your comment. The poster should have avoided the word 'deformation' but appreciate how they arrived at this choice of terminology. For many of us, it is not only confusing but quite painful to see how far the Reformation has misled christians from the truths of the faith. That frustration oftentimes manifests itself in attacking the movement that resulted in this separation. Alex, the purpose of these threads is to demonstrate that the Church established by Christ, continues to this day, unimpeded by 2000 years of various individuals separating themselves from these teachings. It pains all of us to see your enthusiastic love for the "faith", while recognizing that what you have been taught, is in error with what the Early Church Fathers (the first christians) believed.

While I cannot apologize for freeper 'rrc's' poor choice of phrasing, I pray you will accept this explanation.
