Nice try, PM. You forgot the Gnostics. Notice how you altered the argument and snuck in "your rleigion" instead of the "your church." Obviousy any congregation that believes in Jesus as some form of deity can say that its religion was founded by Christ, although you clevery exclude LDS and Christian Scientists, but include Jehovah's Witnesses (who deny Holy Trinity). Lord have mercy!
Do LDS not claim that Jesus is their Savior (Christ)? So, by what authority do you exclude them? Is Protestantism not the ultimate in church-creation based on individual "understanding" of the Bible, with each person being his/her own "pope?" Is this not the ultimate in narcissism? Is denying the combined widsomm of the Church and reinterpreting everything according to one's own fancy not the ultimate in arrogance and pride?
Changing church for religion doesn't change the fact that God gave His Church to His Apsotles in 33 AD, that He gave them the keys to bind and loosen, and that they bound others to carry in their steps ever since then. That authority was not arrogated to others at they wished. So, those who assume that authority do so on their own and cannot claim that it comes from Christ.
They were deleted in the next post.
You missed p-marlowe’s correction about the JW’s just a few posts later. He had already caught it.
