    What is the one true Church?

    @Illuminator, What is so important to you about having bishops or deacons? You said something very odd to me, when stating the Christ Jesus, the Lord, who is the Savior and leader in Salvation, to all who seek him - that is no excuse to not have bishops or deacons. There is no use for them...
