    The Seven Church Ages - Intro

    So I begin this thread with an introduction. This is my view on the seven churches according to what I have read in history and supports no denomination or individual as having the corner on everything.

    Closed communion

    I personally welcome Catholics to this board. If you feel God wants you in a Catholic church I have no issues with that. 1. Ephesus - Apostolic - Scripture still before us!. 2. Smyrna - Martyr - 10 days = 10 general Roman persecutions. 3. Pergomos - Orthodox 4. Thyatira - Catholic 5. Sardis -...

    Closed communion

    Selene... Nobody does Eucharist like the Catholics... If the Catholic church is superior to the other churches it is in the rituals surrounding Easter, Eucharist, and Christmas.
