Are you familiar with the Apostles Creed, Havoc? Have you read it? Whats your opinion of it? The 2nd line of the Apostles Creed speaks of the 'Communion of Saints' . You familiar with that term? Well, its in the creed. And, the Apostles Creed goes back quite a ways! And the term 'The Communion of Saints' says alot about how the early Church viewed Itself. You see, the Church, The Body of Christ, is a LIVING ENTITY. The Church didn`t stop at the time of the Apostles, IT ONLY BEGAN! God didn`t shut up once Revelation was written, did he? You mean to tell me that you believe that He hasn`t uttered one word through the Holy Spirit, to His Church since then? There are even some Protestant Faiths today who believe that God speaks to members of their congregation on a weekly basis! (Speaking in tongues.) And, yes, some Catholic groups believe that today as well. We even have what is called 'The Living Waters' Prayer group that meets at my Church each Sunday evening for prayer.

You don't know if you're shot, bit or stabbed!
You're so far out there in left field trying to find something to throw at me that you don't know what you're doing do you. You're applying things to me that I have never said and beating me up as though I had. You are truly priceless.
