***Whether Calvin or Pope.. we are still men***

Jesus entrusted His Church to a handpicked group of men. That selection gave them and gives their successors the authority to govern the Church. I am not of that group.

*** Every single member of the Church including the Apostles mocked Jesus at frequent opportunities. ]

NO.. “every single” is another superlative.***

Every single, every individual person who is a member of the Church receives Holy Communion. You claim that receiving Communion mocks Jesus. Therefore you must be saying that all members of the Church mock Jesus.

*** You are quite emotional***

Pray tell.

***Calvinists do the same thing.. as do Jews***

Why bring non Christians into an examination of Christian practices?

***The blind leading the blind?.. I’m not perfect either..***

Since you are apparently rejecting the authority of all men, what is your basis of selecting Scripture, and how do you interpret it?

Are you infering people who believe the same things that Calvin did are not Christian?
