that was my point---------------today we are so divided by denominational separation,I have asked folks about specifics on church history and it is like oh knuckle I didn't know you were roman catholic....

"We" aren't divided by denominational separation.
Denominational Christians are.
Universal Christians don't fall under that moniker.
Unversal Christians are not divided.
With all the rites we have, we still are united.

I quoted Origen to a Baptist once you would have thought I was reading from Hitler's Diary from the look I got--- I thought it funny at the time but it is sad how ignorant some are of the early church (I am sure R -1 would agree that seems to be his pet peeve) I often use the "catholic" commentaries along side Henry or Scofield to get a feel for others views.

They have to completely ignore history to remain non-Catholic.
They are only allowed to believe in history from the 16th Century on.

A lot of the "Sola Scriptura" are big fans of Matthew Henry but I haven't figured out if he is NT or OT yet

Their selective on what they believe. Sola Scriptura is ok,
but Martin Luther is not.

Go figure.

Alright now back to the study..........................

Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me.
Rev 1:13 And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, having been clothed to the feet, and having been girded with a golden girdle at the breasts.
Rev 1:14 And the hairs of His head were white as white wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 and His feet like burnished brass having been fired in a furnace; and His voice as a sound of many waters;
Rev 1:16 and having in His right hand seven stars; and a sharp, two-edged sword proceeding out of His mouth, and His face shining as the sun in its power.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet, as dead. And He put His right hand on me, saying to me, Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,
Rev 1:18 and the Living One; and I became dead; and, behold, I am living forever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys to hell, and of death.---- from the literal translation

John turns looking back....to the cross and the Risen Glorified Christ
