...and you’ll realize the “trail of blood” idea is nothing more than a Baptist scam foisted on people to make up for 1500 years of NO HISTORY for their sect.

I wasn't aware anyone actually believed that anymore.

Incredibly it is still believed in by some Baptists even though there’s evidence for it. Even Baptists have repeatedly debunked it - including the former head the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary:

Whitsitt was tossed out of office for his research. Ironically, however, the grip that Landmarkism/Trail of Blood had on Baptists has steadily eroded since then.
