You misconstrued what I meant by a horse race....the difference of opinion is between you and me. But I do not believe that all 7 churches were one at that time. Difference of opinion between you and I..

I understand what you’re saying but this isn’t a difference of opinion. The seven Churches were all part of one Church. They shared one baptism and originally shared one faith. They were part of one body. That fact that not all ended up that way doesn’t change the fact that Christ founded One Church.
