I'm still waiting for you to show me an Apostolic church you claim existed down throughout history. I'd also like to know what Bible they used. If you can prove that the Apostolic faith existed down through the centuries...you have a case and I'll gladly reconsider. If not...you could be in total error regarding history for all we know.
So is the Apostolic movement the Church restored from Apostasy or is she a separate religion altogether? If we're not the church restored...why were ALL of our founders and pioneers men who came out of the traditional church? Certainly at least ONE would have come from this mysterious historical Apostolic Church you say existed.
Doesn't it bother you that nearly everything we have is borrowed from the Trinitarians? Everything from some of our greatest hymns to our translation of the Bible? Can't you see that we're an end product of a reformation? If we're not...why is the church of the living God so...un-original? As I said before, why didn't we at least maintain a Bible translation apart from the historical church's translations if we existed apart from the historical church? |
Concerning this supposed restoration was it God did NOT have the power to maintain what He began or did NOT have the will?
Many historians have given evidence of a truth preaching Apostolic church through the ages.(Marvin, Chalfant, Wiesser, etc.)
