All Christians are members of Christ’s body and one another (Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 12:27).

Jesus has only one body (Eph. 4:4; Col. 3:15).

Death cannot separate Christians from Christ or from one another (Rom. 8:35–39; cf. Lk. 20:37–38).

Christians are bound in mutual love (Jn. 13:34–35; Rom. 12:10).


This part of your response is very persuasive. It helps affirm that there is indeed a One True Church founded by Jesus Christ. In no way do these quotes from Scripture validate only the RCC as that Church.

The other part of your response had to do with the minutes from convention meetings of men (traditional). Perhaps a woman or two, but I wasn't there to see.

That's because of the inevitable hang-up protestants have with the RCC as some sort of "elitist organization with external trappings." Which, if they were honest is born out of a secular thought process and really has nothing to do with the Christian faith. What we are discussing here are the mysteries of the Faith. It requires a different mindset.

And this comment is indicative of the gnosis inherent in Protestantism. The rejection of the body and of matter.
