RON The only Church to remain consistent from its inception is the Catholic Church. The Orthodox don't disagree on any doctrines decided in council so they have not deviated doctrinally. The Copts have devited in their doctrine of the nature of Christ. The same is true of the Reformation churches as well. The Catholic Church is THE Church established by Christ. He is not a God of confusion. The truth does not change with "culture". There is only ONE true Church. All baptized Christians are members of this body whether they realize it or not. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
