According to catfish, this is the pagan origin church
catfish idetifies himself as a Christian. What kind of christian? The same kind of non Christian as Jehovas Witnesses, Mormons, Jews, etc..
Pick your flavour from here: http://www.religionfacts.com/jesus/religious_views.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_p...s_on_Jesus
These are faiths that venerate Jesus as a prophet, but do not hold to the articles of faith that were established in Nicea, which unites all Christians.
So why does catfish insist on blurring the boundaries? He clearly doesn't want to associate with mainstream Christianity. He considers it to be a heresy. He wants us to thinks that his is the right version, and that the mainstream is wrong.
That doesn't help much, because most people assume that he is coming from a known position, as he calls himself a Christian, and not something other, which would be the truth. From his religious views: "Personal and unique". People get confused at Christians disagreeing with him, when in fact he is pretending to be in their camp.
Yes this behaviour is juvenile.
