Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 weeeelll just cuz they won't believe they "descended" from other antecedents don't make it so.... imo, if yer x-tian, who really cares about the window dressin??? u can argue endlessly about how many popes dance on the head of a pin...i would think the main thing would be jesus's message?? no? then again, not x-tian, so maybe i'm totally mistaken Conceded. But from a narrow-minded protestant american persepective which most narrow-minded protestant americans christians argue from that is the case because the vast majority of them won't even recognize other fellow reformed roman catholics as "true faiths". One them, at least, won't even recognize fact that they are descened from catholisism, that the real bible droped out of the sky into thier lap they just materialized the true anointed truth out of thin air. I'm talking about in militan fanatical baptists, of course. I know cause I used ta be be one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
