LOL, well, I'm far from alone...see my post # 330 for starters. and do some independent research.
Unfortunately for a lot of dogma=driven institutions, the LIGHT of knowledge and truth is getting brighter and more accessible every day. The Internet is one of the greatest tools for information, education in the history of mankind.
People are no longer dependent upon the Pontificators for knowledge. ONe can use their God-given minds to research, study, digest, learn, disseminate - and realize, that as Jesus told us, NO ONE person is above another. We are All equal in Our Father's eyes and we have equal access to Him - as equal as a pastor or a pontiff - through our Brother, Jesus.
Jesus said so. So I believe it.
Brother of Jesus? See post # 330
On these issues, there's no such thing. There's what the early church believed and taught. And there's the more modern sources you and others believe.
Now, I think you're almost ready for "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." It's very "independent" as well.
