md, I ask that question of smvoice as it's the one he keeps asking everyone, never bothering to answer any questions put to him, but asking questions all the time.

i don't need to ask YOU that because you share your faith and don't try to define your religion by deriding other's

“i don't need to ask YOU that because you share your faith and don't try to define your religion by deriding others”

Well I do agree it's a bad policy to deride others’ faith, for what ever doctrinal differences folks may have, there is a God that judges between men and he knows everyone’s heart; he longs to see the image of his Son in all of us!

I also understand the role in history of the Western and Eastern Churches....how they were the only twin pillars of the faith on Earth for centuries and preserved much knowledge thru the dark ages. The Nicene Creeds and the Athanasius creed pretty much define my beliefs. My belief in what a “holy catholic and apostolic church” is however is a much more expansive version then what a Roman Catholic would except, for it includes all Spirit filled blood washed believers everywhere, no matter what church or faith persuasion they hale from
