>>the point remains, why does your heart go out to me because i am not “oneness”<<

No, my heart went out to you because you said you didn’t know the RCC believes that Mary was born sinless. Or did you not realize what you were saying in that reply either.

By the way, here is the entirety of the post 125 you told me the statement that I made.

To: one Lord one faith one baptism

Oh dear, are you serious? That answer sent a shock wave through me. Actually my heart goes out to you. Do you think others don’t as well?

In the FWIW dept don't let the lost bother you. They always try to attack individuals, or different churches, in order to peel them away from the Body of Christ. I think most observers see it for what it is and who guides them. You don't see fruits of the Spirit in them, or their church.

This article was a pretty good read and while it did highlight the Biblical illiteracy of the RC clergy during the Dark Age, when the RCC was the dominant church. I think it failed to highlight the political element. When Constantine began the transformation of the church in Rome into an arm of the state the political calculations in it's actions became of greater concern than Scriptural literacy.

The Reformation churches did not break this connection between church and state in their quest to return to Scripture as the rule of the faith. If they had they would have been destroyed like all the other Christian Churches that refused to submit to Roman control prior to this.
