Your last paragraph mirrors pretty much what I believe. God didn’t want ONE church to lord beliefs or control over all. Like the Tower of Babel, when men thought they could actually reach God with their own strengths and abilities, he scattered the church so it could grow in many different areas with all sorts of gifts. The Roman church and the Orthdox churches are only one small part of the entire church structure God made. Hey, and you and I are part of that church, hallelujah!!!
AMEN, my sister!! :) To God be the glory that we are included in His one true Church.
