"There's so much wrong with that core assumption, and everything that Mormons build off of it, that I'm not sure where I should begin."

Classic strawman.

I didn't say anything about LDS doctrine. I stated a historical fact, Jesus visited John in 70AD even though Linus claimed to be leading the Church in 67AD.

Jesus never appeared to Linus. And as a matter of historical record, He has never appeared to any Pope ever.

So when I look at these facts how can I come to any other logical conclusion other than apostasy on the part of Linus and those that followed him?

There you go again.

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
