Emotional appeals aside, what of my previous query to you? There was a claim made concerning "Christians only a generation removed from the Apostles". How long a generation? 50 years? 100?

Can the claim be substantiated, or would you care to re-phrase? I'm easy...you can even have a Christmas tree in your house and I won't call you a pagan. <8^)

The discussion here being more one of historical perspectives...nothing one need take overly "personal".
