Polarity

1930's gang wars

@alexfangtalon Aha! Interdenominational feuding, that's understandable then.

As for the Seventh-Day Adventists, my grandmother is one and I remember many stories from childhood about the Prophets of Israel (particularly the Book of Daniel), as well as practices more akin to the beliefs of early Jewish Christians (namely the Sabbath day being Saturday). I presume you're correct in suggesting that there are aspects of their denomination that are more in line with Old Testament writings.

I will crank out a CS and carve up some territory in the next few hours for review by the GM. Thinking of a Jewish outfit coincidentally.

Not to be picky but Catholicism and Christianity aren't the same thing.

@alexfangtalon

Though Catholicism and Christianity may not be entirely synonymous, a Catholic is a Christian.

By your post I'm led to believe you're making the mistake that a lot of Americans do in assuming that the Protestant branches that derived from the reformation (e.g. the Lutherans, Anglicans, Pentecostals, Seventh-Day Adventists and more) are exclusively termed "Christians", but this would be incorrect. Whilst the different denominations may debate it until they're blue in the face, the only pre-requisite of being considered a "Christian" is a belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God and Messiah as depicted in the Old Testament; Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox are all sub-divisions of Christianity and are its three largest denominations.

If you did not hold this mistaken impression then I fail to understand what you mean by "Catholicism and Christianity aren't the same thing."

Other than that, I would cite my interest, but I've been waiting to see more progress.

G'day!
