You, my pompous FRiend, said, “All other false churches were created by men like 1000+ years after Christ’s death.”

No, my Church traces itself back to Christ Himself. The body of people known as the Roman Catholic Church became apostate, heretical, blasphemous, idolatrous, adulterous, perverted — and as He’s done before, God called His remnant from among it. This remnant looks to Christ as her Savior and Lord, to God as her Father, to the Holy Spirit as her comforter and teacher. This remnant is His Church, the body of believers who’ve been adopted into His family.

Your church may look pretty, and its priests may wear some pretty snazzy clothing, and you may have some old traditions, but without Christ in His preeminent place among you, it is empty. God is not confined to your bureaucracy.

Man, I hate those who divide the Church of Christ, who defame Him by exalting their system above Him.

What year exactly did that happen? Anyone can go to any secular encyclopedia and find the history of the Catholic Church, not one mentions your theory. What page is your theory?

I have no idea which it is, but unless it is Catholic, I think that it is colouring outside the lines. Or finger painting.

I googled it up. Google laughs at this enquiry. As do I.

This remnant of whom you speak. I assume that you count yourself among them. What pole barn do they currently hang out in?

Check out that mirror, my friend, when you say that.
