So you don’t go to Church?
Friend, How many churches were there in the first century? Answer, One
Jesus said He will build His church(singular)
Matthew 16:18-19,
-And I also say to you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build
My church(singular) and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.
There is one church. That church belongs to Jesus.
The gates of hades shall not prevail against it, means that nothing can destroy it, it is everlasting from the moment Christ established it.
All of the apostles where in the same church! Paul was not in the Baptist church, THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Peter was not in the catholic church, NO SUCH THING WHEN PETER LIVED.
All the apostles where in the Lords church!
That church has local churches. All of these local churches are universally the church of Christ,
Romans 16:16,
-Greet one another with a Holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
Christians are members of the Lords church, that church according to Paul is the church of Christ.
No denominational churches existed at this time. btw, catholic church is a denomination just as Methodist church is a denomination.
Easy proof that the catholic church is a denomination.
Jesus is the HEAD of his church.
Christians are the body of His church.
Catholic church is the body, but this church has two heads!!! The Pope and supposedly Jesus.
That is a two headed monster!
Ephesians 5:23,
-For the husband is head of his wife, as also Christ is
head of the church: and He is the Savior
of the body.
