Deep Thoughts

Yes, considering that all that were in Asia had already abandoned Paul's doctrine by the mid first century, why should we consider writings of those in the first, second, and third century as of any great value?

Baal worship has been around forever, it is no surprise that it infiltrated "Christianity" early and the Catholics can trace their roots all the way back to it in the first century, after many left Paul's doctrine.

history is the key to understanding
many are trying to rewrite it
many are stuck in the future
because
they ignore history

Catholics are funny, staking their eternal destiny on what some "early church fathers" wrote. They can read in their own Bible about the great apostasy of the mid first century.

Deep in History causes one to realize that the RCC is not the church Jesus started in Jerusalem with all his apostles... it came along 300+ years later and was bastardized by the Roman Empire to mesh with its pre-christian practices and sensibilities... it was also bastardized to be compatible with empire building and ruling.

I also think the RCC's long and sordid history of antisemitism shows just how afraid it was/is of Jewish Christians taking back THEIR faith from the Italians... thereby making Rome irrelevant.

Still waiting for HS to actually demonstrate his bare claims that "the CC is not the Church Jesus started," and that "it came along 300+ years later."

Proof, please.
