Count Nicolaus Zinzendorf was not the founder of the Moravians. The reformation of Roman Catholic errors and return to orthodoxy dates back to Huss in 1415 and the Moravian Church dates back to 1457, when it was forced out of the then apostate Church of Rome (which centuries later reformed most of the heresies that Huss had objected to). Count Zinzendorf was not even born until 26 May 1700.

I have no time or interest in fact checking all of your other data; I just happened to know the story of Count Zinzendorf.

huss was a condemned heretic

John 10:14-16
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

cannot have Jesus Christ without religion and His church
But his church aint rome .
The better thing to say is , You cant have JESUS without HIS TRUTH . IF we omit some of His sayings
and pick and choose an all inclusive social gospel , well that is false big time .
As you probably know many lip His name but their heart is far , far from Him . Yeah i used to be like that myself ,
so when i say they are false , lets not see that as an attack . Cause i was false too once .
I say lets open those bibles and dig in those glorious scrips and really learn The TRUE JESUS . and remember
paul said if even we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel , let em be accursed .
So , yeah let no man follow pope francis and in truth lets not follow most of these churches peroid .
I mean i see all sorts of so called gosples from the name it and claim to prosperity
to the all inclusive social gospel . man they is false . Gather with brethren who TRULY DO LOVE JESUS and test all things anyone does
teach or say .

YES .
It started with the apostels . And it didnt lead to Rome either .
Lambs of the KING are still here . They are scattered around here and there .
Even in peter and pauls day they saw this one coming . MEN loving to have the preemince . WELL it reallly took root deep
and became mama rome and her popes . We should have stuck to the simplicity in Christ .
But the good news is , through all generations the LORD has always had a remnant .
I notice both peter and paul were huge on reminding about sound holy doctrine . But men who loved to have the show
came along and started to put the emphasis on them , while still being tricky and not necessarily attacking the scriptures .
BUT lambs , WE STICK TO THE BIBLE , WE HEED the SPIRIT and we test all men .
We are so nigh that final hour . The delusion has grown beyond massive size and its only gonna get far worse .
Soon enough they will return to the crusades mindset . For now they heavy into the ecumincal movement .
But soon enough they will come against the few who refused to conform to it . OH well , if i suffer or die for JESUS its all gain .
No fear of death . ONLY HOPE IN CHRIST .

Actually, The RCC already has a union of church and state: The Vatican. (They're just looking to expand it globally, by "new humanism" and climate change). Hasn't it been a sovereign nation since 1929? Correct me if I'm mistaken. (Unless you're just interested in hostile, preditory nitpicking of historic details--I really don't care about negligible inaccuracies-- Ahem, MaryMog and SOL).
Yes, I mentioned that elsewhere.

Mama got real hungry . she went to town getting all religions now under her too .
one big ol social religion that will do the bidding of a social world order .
They knew they had to get the religions to get along and come together . They are in fast forward ecumencism mode .
But mark my words well . They about to be in crusade mode . They gonna eventually
come full force against those who wont conform to this one world social club humanity religoin and who wont
bow the knee to serve its golden one world political order . Its all a set up . And they been working
on it for many many years . Through education , through politics , through religions
Have you heard their latest buzz word . INCLUSIVE CAPITALISM . WHY Dont they just call it what it is , Socialism .
And many mega companies met with POPE francis about this big ado . TELL ME they aint all in it together .
THE GREAT RESET MY FRIEND . ITS ALL A SET UP .

Founded on the apostles eph 2:20 as you say, are apostles still with us having the same mission authority and power as Christ?

Of course not . They trained up men to continue to lead churches . They never intended Rome . That came about
by power hungry men . Those who wanted and desired to set above the people .
I never saw that formation with the original ones . they were all equals . OOPS
they didnt sit there and draw lotts for who would lead them . And do you remember what JESUS himself said about the pharisees .
HE said beware them , they love to dress up big fancy clothes , getting the worship of men .
SOUNDS JUST LIKE ROME . Yeah . i am just trying to help you my friend . I dont hate ya . I love ya , its why i am trying to help you see
the hyprocrisy in that church . Every pope wore decked out big fancy cloth , rings to be kissed
JESUS NEVER INTENDED that kind of church . ROME was a lie from her birth .

You ever wonder why all this pagan stuff is mixed into Rome .
She had to blend to get along . She became mixed in with the state .
She really got bad when she did that . And it has went from bad to worse ever since .
Constantine was no God fearing champion of GOD . HE used the church to gain power and influence and control over the people
and that church was given much more power in return . IT was ALL a sell out . Big time too .

I am pleading , please let us return to the simplicty in CHRIST . We need no church n state .
But , watch how powerful this new religion is about to become , This all inclusive one
its not gonna be church n state , its gonna be church n world . and anyone who wont go with its flow
will soon find themselves under severe persecution , trials and even death .
So much for this one world utopian great reset pipe dream and this social club humanity all inclusive religion .
WE need NO PART of this . YES it will cost us to refuse to conform . BUT TO LIVE IS JESUS and to DIE IS ONLY GAIN .
Fear them not , and conform not to that wicked way . LIVE FOR JESUS and spread the one true gospel
and also pray for those who will persecute us . But never conform to a lie
