I have to answer your question with a question:
Why does the church insist on HAVING control?
"Control" smacks of a dictatorship or cult (cults insist on controlling their people); why would you want to be involved in a facility that insists on controlling its people?

easily not. The emperor basically legalized Christianity. The Catholic Church grew to become into alive and nicely and increasing long earlier Constantine grew to become into born. St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote in approximately one hundred and five to 107 that the place you come across the truthful gathered, and the bishops presiding over the sacred meal, there you will discover the Catholic Church. This element approximately him founding the church is a fundamentalist myth. they attempt to convince those that they have been right here first, and the catholics compelled them into hiding till the reformation.

Any group think entity is in a constant struggle of losing control to an individual who has a better way. The individual is the biggest threat to a group that doesn't honor the individual above all else.

Well for example, it had full control of vowels, just like Wheel of Fortune. But now a days you see people misspelling words like "losing" as "loosing".

The Church is defined as the universal body of believers. Unless we all apostasize, there's not much chance of losing control.
Society, on the other hand, is free to do as it pleases, and is no indicator of loss of control by any body that it isn't subject to.

I think you mean "losing" dear one. And there is no reason for the Church to "control" anyone or anything.
We, who make up Christ's Church, are not controlled, we embrace He who is Truth.
God bless and Merry Christmas!

First, to whom are you referring when you say "the church?"
The church never HAD the control. God is the ONE in control, not we who are His Body.
The "Church" is not a building made with hands, but individual believers in whom God Himself has taken up residence.

Why do Americans think 'loosing' is the same as 'losing'?
[edit] Everyone is entitled to a spelling mistake. I apologise.

The church plays up this concept of hell for the specific purpose of control.
As long as morons believe there is an eternal hell, the church will own them.
