Perhaps the protestants have a secret ceremony that lets them go back in time to actually SEE the early church services. Or, perhaps they are THAT OLD, and remember from personal experience.

Does that sound silly? So do some of the posts I’m reading.

INDEED!!

It’s like the Baptist claim that they are somehow not Protestant because they had existed in secret since the first century.

Well, we do know that Christians met in houses...We know that they didn't bow down to pictures and statues...We know that Christians weren't lorded over by a single person or a college of cardinals...

We know that the spiritual leaders of the churches did not set in the main seats at gatherings...We do know that no one wore flashy robes, or black robes...And we certainly know that no one bowed at the feet or kissed the ring of any Apostle, and got away with it...

So whadda you think??? They sound more Catholic, or mor Protestant???
