So, do you think any of us need to do any repenting? Go back to our first love? Do you ever ponder what this means?

You are really stuck on your holy catholic churches. How do you address the issue that the founding churches you claim to so tightly WERE SO FAR OFF TARGET? Do you think if they were off target, we could be also?

This is not an issue of Roman Catholic church vs protestant. WE are all off target and need to do some repenting. Claiming “I ate at your table and heard you in the streets”, or “I cast out demons in your name” does not get one into heaven. Or I am a Roman Catholic or Reformed I would not want to hang my hat on either............

1. Yes

1. Examine each church. The adversary was attacking the holy catholic apostolic churches in the first century. We have a perfect Messiah who requires complete and total obedience. A woman teaching in Thyatira, a false prophetess, was a death sentence. Jesus emphasized works, twelve times to seven churches. We should pay attention and obey him.
2. Yes

I see three church models
1. Original holy catholic apostolic church enduring from first century until now
2. Protesting branches that were founded by rebellious Catholics some 500 years ago but could not be in unity with each other, then or now
3. Reconsructionist sects trying to become original again by starting anew twenty centuries later; michael rood, messianics (majority Gentiles), are a couple of examples but there is a very wide spectrum that has any group who rejects Orthodox and Reformation but cannot trace church lineage to first century
