I was thinking just the opposite. I think kosta won his argument on this thread many many pages ago, I've been convinced the so-called Christian "Reformed" aren't actually Christians for quite some time. Kosta and others have convinced me that the Truth lies in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Kosta didn't convince me that the Reformed Protestants weren't Christians. The Reformed did that all by themselves by their telling me that their God is a mean and vindictive jerk that's often inclined to adopt the petty and impetuous emotions of simple men. You've got a really mean God over there, and I'd rather be an atheist than have to count on having that guy's sunbeam of love fall on me for eternity.
It's pretty cool that you dig our book though. Those old Othodox Catholic guys that put the Bible together really had their heads on straight.
Don't you find it kinda strange that we believed what we believed before the books of the Bible could be pulled together by the old Orthodox Catholic dudes is the same as what we believed after the books were compiled, and is exactly the same as what we believe to this day? If you don't believe what we believe, you should probably just say, "Oops!" and then go find your own books.

ROTFLOL!
Sounds like you're right where you belong, and close to atheism, as you say.
Believe in your "co-redeemer" and your works-based salvation and your "another Christ" and your prayers to dead people and your "falling down to the stock of a tree."
As for me and mine, we'll take God's word that there is only "one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus," who has paid for all the sins of His flock and who will lose none whom the Father has given Him.

If you're laying claim to the Bible, don't you think you should try reading it sometime?
And you call yourself a Sox fan...
Sorry, but the Bible is the book I’ll be using to find truth. I highly recommend it. If you don’t believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life you are lost. Infant baptism, Mary nor the eucharist is salvific. If you believe they are, you are lost. God IS love, but He is also a God of Justice and He WILL pour out His cup of wrath on an unbelieving world. I fear too many will lose their salvation based on their works and baptism, Mary and the eucharist. How sad is that.
