[Theo to Mark:] You consider my faith faulty because I trust in Christ apart from the Roman Catholic church.

Theo, are you saying that all the "churches" in the first millennium that were outside the Church were professing an equally "orthodox" and true Christian faith?  If you are, then you are wrong because these "churches" taught things about God that are not really Christian.

So, there was but one Church that came out of the Apostolic succession, and that church defined the Holy trinity, Christology, Mairology and the Christian Bible .  Any Church that shares the same dogmatic beliefs of the undivided, apostolic catholic Church of the first millennium is by default a true Church, and there is none other, simply because there was no other. Now, are you suggesting that there was? If so, which "church?"

[Theo]

OK, you can consider me not a member of God’s family. That’s your right.

But God knows better.

Man, I hate the arrogance that emerges from those who consider their denomination the only legitimate one. I really do.

May Christ be exalted and may Rome diminish.

Marcion?

Nestor?

Arius?

Very well said, Kosta. There is one Church.
