What was the original "Holy Mother Church" according to Greco-Roman Catholic and Church of God writers? What is heresy? What did the Council of Trent declare in 1546? Does the Continuing Church of God or the Greco-Roman Catholic and Protestant churches best practice the original faith? What did Jesus teach about tradition? Was the idea that there were two major groups professing Christ, one more associated with Asia Minor & Antioch and the other with Rome & Alexandria taught by many leaders in the 2nd and 3rd centuries? Which is faithful? Did doctrines like the Sabbath, date of Passover, unclean meats, the Godhead, and the millennium have the "unanimous consent of the fathers"? Have Church of God advocates pointed to the so-called "early fathers" to support doctrine? Should pagan/demonic practices be endorsed/utilized as tools for Christian evangelism? What about the role of scripture? What about the roles of Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Gregory Thaumaturgis, and the synagogue of Satan? What about the seven councils? Why did groups accept and teach heresy? Did Herbert W. Armstrong point to the Philadelphian as the holy "mother church?" What group best represents the "holy mother church" today? Dr. Thiel addresses these and more in this sermon.
