DH Do you believe that the RCC had the truth but lost it? Where they the one true church but Apostacized? DAVEH:   I'm not sure if you wrote the above, John...or if another TTer (Dean perhaps) wrote it.  But, to respond.......     No, I do not believe the RCC had the priesthood as they claimed.  Note....I've changed truth to priesthood, as I believe the RCC does have some truth, but I do not believe they ever had the proper power to act for God.  Hence, I do not believe they ever represented the True Church.     If I understand the Protestant theory of having authority of God merely by belief of believers........then it would seem that Protestants would allow that the RCC folks do have proper authority of God, since many of them are sincere believers.  Is that correct?  To me that would lump both in the same sinking boat.
