Catholic, or Protestant, I know the Lord hears Grace Episcopal Church's prayer just as he does yours and mine.

You're no christian if you're throwing stones at someone's worship of Christ.

N-i-i-i-ice response! I'd like to know what Christ-like religion taught you to use that language. Saint Peter denied Our Lord three times, but his apostolic office was never taken from him. Yeah, the priests and bishops who protected them will pay dearly someday, and they should. But your response...is that the best you can do?

I do not agree with you, there are about no hymns which go higher than e flat (maybe a few e natural) which is should be no problem for a bass baritone.

Is that a Bedient pipe organ?

My problem with a lot of church hymns and ch. music in general--and this applies to both Anglican/Protestant and Catholic--is that they are in a key too high for the average male voice. I recognize that most congregants are female and so its for them, but it's still hard to sing along if you are a bass-baritone.

Hi, Moderate. It is true that Catholic church went through the sexual abuse scandal, but the church in this video is an Episcopal church. Episcopalians are great people. It is predominantly the Catholic priests who commit these indecent, reprehensible actions.

that's not how the Church started. after Christ's resurrection, He sent the 11 remaining Apostles onto the Great Commission, and gave special powers to them so they could be the Christian pastors, and they ordained more people, who ordained more,who ordained more, and so on down to today. i see no place in the Bible where someone was a Christian without joining the organized Church. thus it's necessary to have a church whose pastors are on a line of ordinations stretching back to the Apostles.

i happen to agree with your third claim, however the Bible teaches us the core of Christianity: love your neighbor.

[Mountee2003]

in response to your first claim, there is one Christian Church, just many denominations that split from the main Church for one reason or another. just because different churches "existed" after the apostolic era, it doesn't mean they aren't part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

to your second claim, isn't that how the Church started out, with 12 followers of the Messiah getting together and learning from one man?

about 5 years back, i switched from baptist to Catholic, even though no Catholics were witnessing to me. i made these conclusions: 1. the true Christian Church had to exist ever sice Apostolic era. no protestant or baptist sect has been around that long. 2. Christianity had to exist as an organized church, not an unorganized bunch of believers. 3. Christianity existed before the Bible got written. Thus there's no reason to think the Bible is the sole source for Christian teaching.
