Have you seen the charts where RCs and EOs depict their churches as the one true church, and every other movement as schismatic? Well here you go, fellow Evangelicals. Now we don't have to be chart-shamed anymore. We have our own chart! We are truly the one true church!

Symbols aren’t empty. I’m tired of Catholics and Orthodox using the strawman that Protestants have a “low” or “empty” view of the sacraments simply because we believe they are symbolic signs pointing toward the truth of the gospel.

An empty thing or phantom is incapable of a symbol.” (Against Marcion 4.40) Symbols are not empty. A symbol, by definition, points beyond itself to a real and greater reality. You are bearing false witness against your Protestant brothers when you claim that we believe the symbols are empty.
