The Protestant bashing threads from this “radio one” thing are getting downright silly.

“The Catholic Church is most clearly described there”,,

Oh please, like Jesus ever described a church-as-government, based in Rome, living like royalty. In truth, the Catholic church is an autocratic offshoot of the true church that existed in Constantinople. The Orthodox Church is the tree, Catholics are a branch. The purpose of their sect was to try to dictate to the first churches. They rejected that. Baptists trace from European Catholicism. Baptists rejected it too.

If you are not orthodox, Baptist is the closest you can be to the first churches. Autonomous, centered in Christ and the individual as worthy to speak with God with no human mediator, and submissive to no man-made hierarchy.

Catholicism is a man made thing,,,designed to control people. And that is what it has done well.
