THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: The only Church that Jesus Christ personally & historically founded. All other "churches" are
founded by mere men.



Not a single solitary answer to the OP so far.
Not even an attempt at answering the question 'Since When Was Yours' ?

Complete and utter SILENCE!

Telling....

Very telling!

I have listed only 100 or so of the 39,000* sects of diverse denominations which existed as of 2007. At the present rate of growth there will be 63,000* sects by 2025, an increase of 26,000 from the 39,000 of 2007. That amounts to 1238 new foundations projected to be laid down by mere human men and women every year, or slightly more than an average of 3 each and every day.
That means in 100 years there will be at least 123,800 additional sects at the present rate of growth. There will no doubt be many more than that figure since the rate of growth of the sects has been accelerating every year.

Called out ones=the church, which is his body, is comprised of fallible, respective members of the body of Christ, individuals, not some alleged infallible bunch of clowns, dressed up in clown outfits, known as "The Roman Catholic Organization."
He is faithful (Rev. 19:7, 8).

Spam from Roman shill Cruciform, vs. the bible:

Romans 16:5 KJV
Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

1 Corinthians 16:19 KJV
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

Colossians 4:15 KJV
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.


Philemon 1:2 KJV
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

When we leave the building the building is just--a building. We are the church. :straight: Rev. 21:2, 9

I know you might have trouble but try to look at it from my view point. When you think of the body of Christ, does it have different types of members with very different beliefs, different names by which Christians separate themselves from other Christians who do not believe the same? What would the "true" body call itself and how would the members identify themselves? I am of the firm belief that a true member of the body only identifies themselves as “Christian”. When I read the bible that is all I see. Christ’s church and it’s members calling themselves Christians. It’s sad but people find it odd when they ask me what type of Christian I am, and I tell them Christian.


  • First, the term "Catholic Church" (Greek: ekklesia kath 'oleis) actually appears in Acts 9:31, where it is translated as "the Church throughout all." This is not yet being used, however, as a technical theological term to describe the Christian community.


  • I do agree with the concept of the church universal, but in Acts 9:31, kath 'oleis is describing a region of churches, not the church universal. 31So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace

    The term “catholic” does not appear in scripture and was not used as the name of the church by any inspired writers.


    [*]Second, Neither is the New Testament phrase "church of God/Christ" a technical term or formal name for the Church. Rather, it simply means "Christ's Church."

    That is exactly right, it means “Christ’s church”. These names declare the body and it's builder/owner. Shouldn’t we be called Christ’s church? He is the one who built it, purchased it with his blood and is the head. That is what the HS called it when inspiring the writers, who are we to call or describe it by any other name?

    [*]Third, the term "Catholic Church" began to be used by the early Church as an official name for Christ's one historic Church around the mid 1st century, and it has be known as such ever since.

The name didn’t come from scripture or an inspired writer, it evolved. Things that evolve might resemble the original but they are not the original.

Not only are Catholics Christians, but we are the original Christians.

When someone asks you what you are, what do you tell them? Christian? Catholic? Catholic-Christian? You know the Jehovah witnesses call themselves Christians. Are they Christians or a type of Christian? Are they unifying Christ by distinguishing themselves from other "Christians"? By calling yourself “Catholic” you are dividing Christ. Being a hyphenated Christian is not unity which is what Jesus wanted and the apostles as well.

When John wrote Revelation, Jesus spoke of SEVEN churches. None of them were Catholic, either.
In fact, by the close of the 1st century, the Church founded by Jesus Christ was already commonly known as "the Catholic Church." This is a historically demonstrable fact.

Only meaning universal __ NOT RCC. But of course, you know that __ but you ignore it, preferring to argue for the worship of the RCC.

The Catholic Church was founded in 538 when Justinian recovered the Roman Empire in the west, and he put the Pope in charge.

Because the Church he founded was intended to become something other than merely a Jewish sect, which it certainly did not long after Christ's Ascension.

Are you saying the resurrected Christ renounced Judaism?

Also I have a question about communion wine. Maybe you can answer but if not that's okay.

SECTS ? - I Thought there is supposed to be ONLY ONE CHURCH

Therefore, THE RCC IS THE MOTHER OF MANY REBELLIOUS TEENAGE HARLOTS.

Revelation 17:5 MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Ok, let's call it the Vatican church, the church with an Egyptian obelisk in front.

Exactly - Cruc is a vaticanist - in the vaticanist organization - with a pontiff who wears a fish on his head. Admittedly, to a disciple of Jesus Christ this is, at best, a sick joke of humanity.

The church from the red letters is Israel and they have fallen. The universal church (catholic) is Paul's church and is raised up by faith to make Israel jealous.

Do you know the significance of the obelisk being placed in St. Peter's Square? (Didn't think so.) Why not stick to posting on subjects you actually know something about.

That would have been quite a trick, given that the early Christian Church had already been referring to Christ's one historic Church as "the Catholic Church" in their writings for more than four centuries by that point. Try again.
