***We on this side of things do not, for a microsecond, believe that the 400 year-johnny-come-lately theological political power mongers in Rome founded THE Church that Jesus founded—at all. ***
That is your prerogative. Since we were around at Pentecost and all the heretics were successfully combated until the Reformers threw their hats into the ring, we have the perspective of the ages, and, since we were there from the beginning, we have the advantage of having been started by Him.
***MANY OTHER CLUSTERS OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE JESUS EARNESTLY AS FULLY AS THEY KNOW HOW . . . ***
That’s it. As fully as they know how. Turning your back on the Church of Jesus is a really strange way to try to love Jesus more fully.
NOT AT ALL!
The RC edifice was NOT around at Pentecost.
Revisionist history just does not wash with those truly exammining the UNRUBBERIZED HISTORICAL RECORD.
I realize that delusion/illusion/fantasy is comforting to those addicted to worshipping a world system, structure, organization, group of leaders, dogma etc.
But God has quite a different perspective from that of the RC magicsterical.
Otherwise, He would not have confirmed so many signs following of so many authentic healings and deliverances through Christ’s Blood and Spirit via so many other folks who’ve had nothing to do with the RC edifice and often nothing to do with any other group . . . but only received the Bible and began believing it and applying it.
I’ll take GOD’S CONFIRMATIONS over the magicsterical’s any day, week, month, year, decade, century, millenium.
