how EVERY one of the 30,000 or so denominations differ from one another.... Would an idiot believe this? List the 30,000 DIFFERENT things that are POSSIBLE to differ about!

Music....dress....OSAS....if they basically agree on everything (and they probably do on most) why don't they join hands, become a powerful and influential group, and stop opposing each other???

The body of Christ is not about being powerful and influential. It’s about being a part of the Kingdom of God

There is no opposition within but a lot of power.

The influence is from God and is passed around among other believers. You mentioned 3 things out of 30,000. That’s not too bad considering. Mostly not affecting spiritual beliefs so good try but no cigar.

Christians hand out in that giant car mentioned in the NT.

You said 30,000 but all you can come up with is three??? So you tell other Catholics not to get involved in Protestant churches because they are so divided they have more than 30,000 different denominations and all you can come up with is three???

Can you ask this of YOUR masters in Rome and those of the EO group?

Oh. Do ALL Catholics dress the same?

Do they all listen to the same music?

Do they all think they're not going to heaven?

I hadn't noticed.

Roman rite vs EO.

Where's the unity in that? They both claim to be the ORIGINAL Catholic church with the other being in schism.

The EO don't recognize the supremacy of the pope and previous popes have ex cathedra condemned to hell anyone who doesn't submit to the papacy, including the EO.

Care to try again at condemning the Prots without being a hypocrite?

Well, actually they are, while it is the fruit of Rome (which she manifestly considers members) that is far more a disunified admixture of variant beliefs, and thus evangelicals are seen by both liberals and many RCs as their greatest Western threat.
