... Igzy is denying the one city one church model. He is doing so by 1) demonstrating that scripture does not command it and 2) shows that following it` can only result in errors that contradict it. It is a circle of errors that cannot stand as a prescribed way.
Way too long.

It was rather long; I had to try twice to read it through all the way. But your logic was followable for me, which I think commends it well. And although it may have been long, it was well argued, and therefore the length was probably necessary.
