No. I have no burden to, or demands for, proving something I don't believe is valid. It doesn't matter to me how many people believe and practice it. I don't believe the Bible teaches the type of church organization and discipline the Catholic church teaches. It's really that simple. I also don't believe that all or at least many Protestants practice church organization and discipline properly. But the shortcomings of Protestantism doesn't make Catholicism the default model of propriety. Sorry if this offends any, but I can't pretend to believe something I don't. :)

does mathias take the place of Judas as an apostle?

there are some Christians who have decided that baptism is necessary and saves and others that baptism isn’t necessary and doesn’t save. Some have decided that abortion isn’t murder. All use scripture to support their “truth”. According to your theory no matter what they believe it is the truth....
Even though their “truths” oppose each other.
No, I don't do pluralism, either.

My "theory" is simply this:

Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (Romans 14:5)

If that's theory to you, then okay.

It's pretty much a natural law of psychology.

Catholics seem to be having an internal dispute over abortion, since you brought it up.

Some of those Christians you say don't agree with each other are Catholic, by the way.

You have no idea of what you are saying. Your entire statement above is one of assumptions and preconceived opinion and has no basis in reality.

so simply refraining from work on Saturday is what all this hulabaloo is all about

They died. The promise was for all believers. Again, interpretation. We don't agree. We don't agree.

Okay.

NO, I'm not answering your disjointed questions at your behest.

If you think I'm behaving deceptively, you might want to have a look at the way Christ answered baiting questions. I'm being nice.
