A tremendous amount of space of false teaching and trying to justify an erroneous tradition that was unseen and contrary to what the NT church believed according to Scripture, according to all that we read of the life of the church.
Take a shot at defending it.
I don't have to defend the truth which has been taught for 2,015 years....if you want to deny it, it is up to you to prove why it is wrong and try to explain why some of the greatest minds in human history disagree with you....and Luther, and Calvin, and HenryVIII, and Wesley, and Zwingley, and Knox, and Smyth, and Fox, and London, andCampbells, and Baker-eddy and myriad of others ALL of who think that they are right....
