Thus far, it can be deduced that Christianity is the most valid religion. However, there are two main branches of Christianity: Catholicism and the heretical sects (Protestantism, Gnosticism, Mormonism, etc.), all of which disagree with each other. Therefore, because all oppose each other, only one can be most valid. To find the most valid, one must again search the scriptures: "And so I name you Peter, and upon this Rock I shall build my church, and the jaws of Hell shall not prevail against it. I entrust to you the two keys to the kingdom of Heaven. Whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven." (Matthew 16:18) "Let us rejoice and be glad, and give honor to him, for the marriages of the lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready." (Revelations 19:7) From these scriptures, the following can be deduced: Salvation is found especially in this church, Christ commissioned this Church, this Church is one, denial of this church results in damnation, and Christ has bound, even married, Himself to this Church, and only this Church. St. Peter was the first Catholic Pope; his church is the church commissioned by Christ, the Catholic Church. Salvation is found in this church. The current Popes are successors of Peter. Denial of the Church is a denial of the Pope; a denial of the Pope is a denial of Peter; a denial of Peter is a denial of Christ (Christ used the word "Petros" meaning "little rock." Christ is the big rock. In this verse, Christ took Peter and His church into himself); a rejection of Christ is a rejection of God, and therefore a damnable blasphemy.
