Theory: Schism: 7 Loaves | Heresy: 5 loaves + 2 Fish

[spauline]

Orthodox have always accepted the truth.

If your analysis was more cogent, perhaps it would be more compelling.

However your mathematical acrobatics, your long division, and your failure to show a tangable relationship btw the loaves and fish is enough for me to equate your analysis with cloud gazing.

OK, well now wait a minute, did you read the addenduum on the five loaves and two fish? There, I delve deeper: loaves require barley which is grown in the earth, fish come from the sea. The Bible in several places likens the earth and rock as foundation: Christ founded his Church on Peter, the rock, and the general “ground” of the truth that is the Church (1 Tim. 3:15). The dragon spews a flood after the woman, but the earth swallows it. (doesn’t the dragon spew heresies at the People of God but the solid earth of the Magisterium open its mouth and swallow the lies and prevent the woman from being “carried away” by error?). In another letter, it is commented about being “tossed to and fro by every wave of doctrine.” Protestants are like that. Protestants reject the foundation of the earth that is Apostolic Succession. and indeed, they are tossed to and fro by 36,000 waves of doctrine. So then, they can only get 2 fish, Baptism and Marriage. The rest of the sacraments (5), the loaves, require the earth.

Or does that sound ludicrous?
