Christ did not tell me to follow the Catholic Church. The Bible is full of warnings against paganism, like praying to statues or making a type of god of Mary. If anything, Christ told me not to have anything to do with the Catholic Church, and I am obeying Him by staying away from it. Do you have scripture where Christ commanded anyone to be part of the RCC? It would be odd if you do, considering they did not exist till long after the last of the original Apostles had died and gone to heaven. I could just as easily ask by what authority the RCC was established? It certainly was not out of obedience to Christ.

The problem is, the RCC is not "the church." The RCC was created long after the early church was established, and they incorporated a lot of paganism into the mix to try to win everyone over. They turned idol gods like Diana into Christian figures like Mary. The pagans were in the habit of worshipping idol gods, so they created statues of saints to pray to, when the Bible only instructs us to pray to God. We also know from scripture that Mary was not a virgin at the time of her death. She had many children after the birth of Jesus.
I spent a lot of time looking into the RCC in light of scripture. I have read the Bible through cover to cover approximately 20 times, and I have studied it since I came to Christ at the age of 17. As such, I looked into the RCC in light of whether or not they were in agreement with scripture, and they are not even close. I listened to the Mass regularly on the Satellite radio on the Catholic Channel. I gave them a fair hearing. The Catholic Church was designed to unite all religions into one, and to do it, they compromised in serious ways. In disagreeing with the RCC, we are not attacking Christ. The RCC is attacking Christ.
By the way, I spent a great deal of time studying how the early church operated from the King James Bible. If anyone wants to go back to the way the early church did things, they need to start at the foundation of scripture.

He is just pushing his barrow for the catholic church. He is not wedded to Christ. He is wedded to the church.What on earth is this supposed to be proving!!!
It makes no sense .
In another thread he made his usual pro catholic claims by quoting all sorts of scripture none of which had anything to do with the subject matter
I have worked in the catholic education system so I was meeting catholics every day of the week and I would have to say he is the worst advert for the catholic church that I have ever met.

I thought that denominations came about because we do not agree with any one denomination?

So the question is which denomination did not come about because we disagreed with another denomination?
What on earth is this supposed to be proving!!!
It makes no sense .
- theefaith is "attempting to prove"...."his entitlement" to "protest" as he "attempts" to bash people for "protesting"...
LOL...
It's a corrupt catholic taught method of psychological projection....and a Fail.
Oh yes you are right on that point, many denominations are break offs from another denomination.
But for individuals that don't align themselves with a denomination, I think it's a different story, there is such a thing as saying you're or I am "just Christian".

But we are not talking about individuals. We are talking about movements that claim to be appointed by God because they have the truth whereas others do not. That is why they come into being. They ignore the fact that you are more likely to change things from the inside out rather than from the outside in. I have a book that lists every denomination in Australia and not one of them convinced a denomination to come over to their side of things.
Particularly in the pentecostal expression where there are offshoots of offshoots of offshoots of offshoots and when the rubber hits the road, they are all the same with the only difference being that the person started the movement because he could not get his own way where he was.

When i see the picture of that little white church , I think of my dear friend.
March onward my friend . When we think of today , let us not think of the morrow . DO today , live today , as though its your last day on earth .
FOR some it will be . And souls must hear the truth . What i say next might offend some , i say it not to be mean , cruel or hateful ,]
but because its the truth . OPEN the bible , and make sure its the KJV . That bible , of all the bibles i have read , IS the only one
i can vouch for at this time . ITS SOLID .
No , i dont think folks who read another version are condemened to hell . BUT i would surely point them TO THE KJV .
This world and worse our churches are tanking . Let us make our last stand on CHRIST , upon HIS wholesome words
upon the truth and point all to that JESUS .
the holy church also condemned these things, no idols, no Mary worship
by what authority
Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 acts 9:4 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20 acts 2:42 1 Tim 3:15
What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?
Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!
The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!
Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!
Apostolic succession!
The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!
Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20
Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19
Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.
Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.
Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments
Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20
Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...
John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Only the church has authority from Christ to define the truth and teach!
Matt 16:18 matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Jn 20:21-23 Jn 8:32 Jn 16:13
Why I say don’t judge Christ
An attack on the church is an attack on Christ
Christ and his church are one acts 9:4
