That they are just as true as the LC?
Or are you going to revoke your statement?

You agree, yet seemingly do not understand what it means in practice. If someone tells me that they are married and yet I know they are sleeping in different places and are seeing different people, they are claiming something which was true once but is no longer true. Similarly the genuine moves of God over the centuries were in God and for God and yet now we see they are "sleeping in different places and seeing different people". You see, every denomination claims to be started by Christ, and many were, authentic, as someone else pointed out here, that the Roman Catholic church ,was once the genuine local church in Rome, but they don't identified themselves by Christ today. They are corrupted by many things. You may read the list here:

Consider, whose name do they bear?
Lutheran - founded on teachings of Luther.
Roman Catholicism - founded on teachings of the Vatican in Rome.
Anglicanism - founded on the teachings of the Anglo (English) Monarchy empire (a religio-political mixture).
You ask them, what sort of Christian are you? They will say "I am a Lutheran Christian", "I am a Catholic", "I am a Baptist".
The correct answer to the question "what sort of Christian are you?" is to say, "there are not different types of Christians. There are only Christians, and non-Christians."
To fail to see that there are not different types of Christians, is to fail to see that every Christian has the same Spirit, Christ and Father.
