it is exactly this type of history that ISNT BEING TAUGHT ANYWHERE, and oddly enough, when you read it, you see NOTHING OF ANY TYPE OF ‘REFORMATION’ THEOLOGY....
am i the only one who sees this?
these and other types of catholic threads inherently bring out the little protestants from whatever version of their local “Church of Jesus, The Bible Alone and ME”, claiming they have all they need in that bible and well, frankly, why that silly pesky church history that shows NADA, ZIP, ZILCH of any of their theology, cant be trusted, etc...
how these modern protestants with their modern bibles can claim a better knowledge of scripture and the church as opposed to the church fathers and CATHOLIC SUCCESSORS TO THE APOSTLES, APPOINTED BY THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES,who actually walked and talked with the apostles.....
is it just me?
bueller? bueller?
No, and that is why I’m a Catholic today!
It's like they say; if it doesn't talk like a duck, or if it doesn't walk like a duck and if it doesn't even look like a duck, well then, it's not a duck...
And Paul even warns us about 'early' religious people:
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
Sure, you're group was around in that era...
Any one can make the claim they are the real, first church...But if your's is the real religion of the bible, it out to some how resemble it, don't ya think???
