Why do y’all keep harping on that?

Because they keep going to made-up churches, believing made-up traditions of men. This is not what Christ wanted. Christ established His Church. One, not many.

I have attended many different churches over my 71 years. Everyone taught directly from the Bible. I know because I took my Bible with me from the time I was old enough to read. Y’all keep saying we have different beliefs but we all believe the Bible is God’s Holy Word. I have noticed y’all seem to have different beliefs. So, get off your high horse. Y’all are not perfect just like everyone else. God’s church is anywhere believers gather. Numbers do not matter.

In math, the first thing you do to check your work is to look, and see if your solution even makes sense. If you divided 24 by 8.1, and arrived at an answer of 2962. You know that you have made an error.

If I look at every known fact, word spoken by, and behavior of Jesus, and contrast that with the reality of a medieval church with extravagant buildings, a monarch indistinguishable from a king, military formations, willingness to torture and kill heretics, to demand money for absolution, etc,,,,
Then it becomes obvious that they did not represent Christ’s work back then. Today, I think they are on the good path, as are most protestants.

But the hard cold fact is that the RCC of 1517 was a monument to the made up traditions of men.

How many "churches" did Jesus have John write to in Revelation?
