you really shouldn’t be discussing this with me, the Church recieved the doctrine from the Apostles and has believed it for 2,000 years. non-Christians can’t understand it and attack us for it. Jesus tells me to be glad and rejoice in such cases.

Really??? There was no priesthood, no mass, no pope, no 7 sacraments, no prayer to the dead, no holy water,no vestments,no statues, no immaculate conception, no assumption, etc in the apostolic church ...those are the doctrines of men not God

Translation: We have nothing but fluff and puff. And you're catching on..I shall resort to victimhood status and claim to be rejoicing in it.

yes doctrines of men: Paul, Peter, John, Andrew, James, etc.

Christians call these men “the Apostles”

Christians have followed the doctrines of these men for 2,000 years.

there are those that follow the doctrines of men that appeared in the 16th century, they weren’t the Apostles.
