Sigh ... you are wanting me to judge which sheep pen is the best. I will not do that.

Sheep pens are not the Living Word of God - the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, is.

Sheep pens fall into disrepair and have to be patched now and again. Other sheep seem to replace the boards with bricks, build roofs or sound proof the pens so other sheep or even the Shepherd won't bother them. Others build all kinds of silly niceties within the pen or pens within pens. The sheep yell at each other between the pens arguing over who has the best pen.

I will not play that game - I am following the Shepherd. Period.

I am not wanting you to judge [i.e. condemn] anyone. I was asking if you knew something. It appears to me that you do not know which humans and which denomination most accurately teaches Apostolic doctrine.

If you do not know which humans and/or which denomination most accurately teaches Apostolic doctrine, then you must not know what is the Apostolic doctrine, because if you truly knew the Apostolic doctrine, you would be able to say which humans/denomination comes closest to "getting it right", as Dr. E. says. But it appears that you don't know if the Pentecostals are closer than the Baptists, or the Presbyterians are closer than the Lutherans, or the Anglicans are closer than the Methodists, or the Mennonites are closer than the Seventh-Day Adventists, etc. Regarding such questions, you seem not to know the answer.

So for all you know, (so far as I can tell from your answers) the Catholic Church might be the one most accurately teaching the whole of the Apostles' doctrine.

Amen to that, my dearest sister in Him! The Judgment is His, not any particular religious confessions', nor ours.

I must say, I commend you for both your patience and your unwavering, committed focus on Jesus and his gospel.

I am enjoying the clarity, as well as the depth and scope, of your testimony.

I look forward to finding your posts in the future, they are truly like sailing into a calm port for respite, to escape from the storms at sea. (pardon my poorly worded analogies, but hopefully you understand their intent.)
