Illogical reasoning.

It's like saying if you're a patriarch of a family, it was jumpstarted by you.

But we ALL -- patriarch or not -- go back to Noah and his wife. And before that, back to Adam and Eve.

You have therefore cited something that arbitrarily draws a line in the sand.

What? Did your family start with you, thesaleboat? You had no father or mother? You were some immaculate conception who arrived suddenly on the scene? No heritage?

Look at Martin Luther's history, for example. He didn't name any church after himself. [That was done externally]

Luther considered himself to be part and parcel of the historic church. He was there to REFORM the church; not 100% knock it down and start from scratch.

You have flunked church history.

Wow I agree with you for a change!!! That post saying the only real church is the Catholic Church probably was the most offensive post I've seen on this website in a while!!!

I guess I should avoid these religious threads...
