Hardly. Those Churches He left are gone as Christ said they would be. The Catholic Church is still going even after 1600 years by the most rabid Protestant reckoning.
Sorry, such pontificating is nothing but conceit.

No pontificating at all. Just a reporting of facts set out in Revelation. Nor is that a criticism of the RC church. Sorry, it’s not a “rabid Protestant reckoning”, since I’m not one of them.
However, don’t think that God will not continue to remove Churches that are not obedient and who have lost their first love.
My point is simply that we should never do that.
If you disagree and think we should, or that it could never happen to us, then we will not find agreement. That’s OK. And if you have time, please explain why you don’t think (if it is true) that we shouldn’t hold to God’s standards.
