@YouSpooneeBard@BenKappers The creeds distorted nothing. The faithful defined the limits of thr faith by said Creeds and we are thankful for them. I am thankful for God never abandoning his faithful as well. LDS cannot say the same.
@YouSpooneeBard@BenKappers You're claiming a name which hasn't been yours historically. There is meaning to that name that Mormons cannot represent since they have no presence before the 18th century.
@ManassehRJones Alright. Can you demonstrate from the bible the existence of the church throughout history? Any prominent Christians? 2nd century and latter?
@YouSpooneeBard@BenKappers You're Mormons who worship only one God despite there being a Goddess or Goddesses who created you as well.
But look. Im glad you're willing to seperate utterly from the historic church. Just don't pretend to be part of us.
@ManassehRJones Alright and the word says nothing about the church in the second century Manny. Therefore am i right to consider you the only Christian whose existed since John?
@DezGoth@AbusedDucksFan Your faith is literal paganism that makes God reliant on a woman to create human life. Thank God it's been exposed for the sham it is. Historic Christianity has been testifying to Christ long before your liar prophet existed.
@YouSpooneeBard@BenKappers Hiatoric Christianity is expressed by the creeds and by calling it abomination you seperate yourselves from us. That's fine mind you, but then just acknowledge we aren't one.
@ManassehRJones That's also kind of the point Manny, you don't know if there was a Church at all since you derive literally everything from the bible alone. Not even the reformers were that extreme in their sola scriptura.
@AbusedDucksFan@DezGoth Honestly refreshing and I encourage you to go down this path instead of seeking oneness with Christians as so many LDS are want to do.
@varen_barovar@GuyInco15542744 Were the Eastern Churches under the direct power and authority of the Pope? Or did the Pope claim an authority greater than the honor of first amongst equals the East generally recognized he had? Is it your view that the Popes had universal jurisdiction?
@ManassehRJones So where does the bible show us the existence of Christians throughout history? Because as far as I can tell Manny, in your own understanding, you are the only Christian to exist since the bible was written.
@ManassehRJones I'm asking about a historical question. The bible is a first century document and doesn't talk about the second century Church. Was there no church on earth until you came about Manny?
@varen_barovar@GuyInco15542744 I don't think you have definitively. But if you agree with my characterization of LDS as claiming to be the original as opposed to the Apostate Churches (EO, Cath, Prot), alright.I would say the Orthodox are the true Church and the Roman Catholics are the schismatics.
