Aug 24, 2022 at 0:03 comment added Luke Hill @OneGodtheFather I’m interesting point. I could possibly counter by pointing out that we have a greater number for all time.

Aug 23, 2022 at 20:38 comment added Only True God @LukeHill Similarly, if they have a declining %, does that mean they're moving away from Christ's teachings? If Mormons have an increasing %, does that mean Mormons are moving closer?
Aug 23, 2022 at 20:26 comment added Only True God @LukeHill Why is it a 'very heavy evidential chip', tho'? I think saying more about that in the question would help.
Aug 23, 2022 at 19:19 comment added Luke Hill @GratefulDisciple of course you did ;) should be helpful either way.
Aug 23, 2022 at 19:18 comment added GratefulDisciple @LukeHill I asked a separate question just for fun.
Aug 23, 2022 at 19:14 comment added Luke Hill @GratefulDisciple It would make it stronger, but even just the fact of it's truth today (or maybe from say 1600 AD) makes it still a strong argument.
Aug 23, 2022 at 19:08 comment added GratefulDisciple Maybe your argument can be made even stronger by asserting how the Catholic church is the majority denomination in every generation for the past 2000 years. Of course we need to check the numbers whether it is still true after the Eastern orthodox split.
Aug 23, 2022 at 18:36 comment added Luke Hill @OneGodtheFather I would firstly point out that "Protestantism" is not one Church like the Catholics, but rather a heavily divided tradition with significant splits and a great number of different churches. Secondly, I should clarify that this is a very heavy evidential chip (not necessarily proof).
Aug 23, 2022 at 18:17 comment added Only True God The argument seems problematic. So Oriental Orthodoxy (65 M) is significantly further from Christ's teaching than Eastern Orthodoxy (220 M)? But Protestantism (1 B) is significantly closer to Christ's teaching than Orthodoxy? We can just read off current membership numbers and infer how close to Christ's teaching a denomination is?
Aug 23, 2022 at 18:14 comment added Only True God I think this question would benefit from getting a bit more specific and giving a few more details. What exactly is the link between having more (nominal) members, and being closest to Christ's teachings in general?
