In my last posting; I mentioned the destruction of the library of Alexandria as to the historical relics of what may have described things from the first couple centuries of history if indeed it remained in any form that long. That may have not been necessary if it didn't contain New Testament relics but it would show what had developed no doubt in the intertestamental gap in scripture.
Anyway; having discussed the core foundation of saving faith which is belief in Christ being God in the flesh who died to atone for the sins of those who are ultimately saved and who repent and believe the Gospel but it bears reminding again that for Christ to be reduced to a mere man in any way; or conversely to disregard His perfect humanity along with perfect member of the Godhead already means that certain sects have deviated from the truth if they even believed in it in the first place. This forum is probably not the best place to get into a debate of errors in the Catholic church as I don't want to be booted off the site. In all fairness the Protestant or so called churches today have gone from the foundational truths of their original leaders much further and faster into error having to abandon all caution to the wind in a matter of basically one generation.
What needs to be focused on; therefore is the individuals and corporate relationships of the POSSESSING (of the Spirit) church and the scriptural; particularly Gospel truths that are the foundation for all teachings that honor His Name. If they intersect with the confessions; cathechisms and other church polity that exists; fine. If not; however we are to separate from those in grievous error and such is the place for the House church which is likely the bedrock of the church and where its lasting power derives from. Such may be the cornerstone of the true remnant of believers today; and it should have a resurgance here in the USA as it is in isolated parts of the world.
