IN answer to your question..

I don't know.

I really don't...all I do know is my story.
Christ found me because I was earnestly looking for him. I wasn't able to find the God that I was looking for so He had to come and find me. He wasn't who I expected either...He is much much bigger and stronger and more gooder than I can fathom.

Why?
I haven't the foggiest clue. I don't think He is so right on this one...but hey, I ain't gonna argue. (OK..so I do/have/will continue alot but that is beside the point)

Ain't this the guy who led the "first split" in the church? Or did the Eastern Orthodox come first? :wink:

I have to agree with CantBCoy

Actually, the Romans came first.

i completely agree and say that most of the time those that fight this idea just dont like church. the fact is God chose the church to be his body. (arms,legs and so on) the church is also the bride. if i said i like you but i cant stand your wife, she is two faced and is always being mean to people would you accept me. but people say that about the church and dont think they are talking about Jesus Christs bride. umm?

I believe the Romans infiltrated the original church and took it over. :wink:

Absolutely not true. Andrew found Christ when John was baptizing HIM.

If Martin Luther was right about justification by faith, and I believe he was, then he too found Christ before he found the church.
