The belief your posts espouse has been weighed and found wanting by millions of believers.

And held by billions.

Your position requires those taught by the apostles to have got the very focus of their liturgy and sacraments wrong from the beginning, all over Christendom; the Greek fathers of the Church misinterpreting the Greek that you now know better . The whole of Christian believers, wrong, for 1500 years, until Zwingly set it right.

It's worthy of a Dan Brown novel; but not a critical thinker.

“And held by billions.”

The facts of exaggerated roman membership numbers have been posted here by many.

Truth is never decided by majority vote in Scripture.

“Your position requires those taught by the apostles to have got the very focus of their liturgy”

No, there is no liturgy that was not changed and can be proven to be used during the time of the Apostles.

“and sacraments wrong from the beginning,”

No, same response. It does not withstand historical examination.

“all over Christendom;”

Back to arguing based on geography, I see. Still never the basis of truth.

” the Greek fathers of the Church misinterpreting the Greek that you now know better .”

Eisogesis is not limited to English speakers such as the views you espoused here. Human nature never changes.

“The whole of Christian believers, wrong, for 1500 years, until Zwingly set it right.”

Time doesn’t decide truth either. All variations of logical fallacies.

Given that Rome lost the Gospel, it is not surprising that other truth was obscured when paganism was incorporated into her.

It astounds me that it is not enough for me (as expressed in your posts) to seek to obey God’s commands and obey my conscience as He desires.
