A seven-alarm fire that tore through a 150-year-old church in Massachusetts miraculously spared a painting of Jesus Christ, WFXT reports.
The piece of artwork, which hung near the front doors of First Baptist Church in Wakefield, Mass., somehow survived the massive blaze which was likely caused by a lightning strike completely unscathed.

So you deny the clear words of Scripture.
Christ Said he would build his Church. A visible Church, a "city on a hill cannot be hid" Mat 5:14. The powers of hell will not prevail against His Church. Mat 16:18. His Church is ONE, not many. Rom 12:5, 1Cor 10:17, 12:13. And on and on.
Not man made. The Church was made by the Son of Man, Christ the Lord. You my FRiend are suffering from your own delusions. You should try reading Scripture.

No! Yeshua declared that he would expand his already existing Kehillah.
That is what the word in the original language clearly said. You depend on confusion to support your demonic twisting of the word.
There is no church associated with Yeshua’s renewed covenant.

What is the source of your fantasy? It surely is not Scripture. Please share it.
Give up!
Your fantasy religion hates SCRIPTURE!
Look right where the sungod worshippers say Peter became pope!
The Church at the end of Wall Street survived 9/11 unscathed if I recall. Substantial damage to the buildings around it.
Paul rebuked error in the early church so they were already not one by your definition. In addition Christ never told us to embrace error or heresy for the sake of unity. The Roman church was in error and rather than relenting they doubled down resulting in the Reformation. Luther wanted to weedout error in the Roman church not split from it. 500 years later we have come full circle with the Roman church again doubling down on error and frankly heresy/apostasy. Have they learned the lesson? I doubt it.
However God brought great blessing out of the Reformation. Uncounted millions now understand they are saved by Grace through faith in Jesus - the incredible gift of God- instead of being trapped In the teaching of works based salvation that no one could ever achieve.
You couldn't be more wrong.
I'm still trying to understand what your made up faith is based upon. It certainly isn't Scripture.
Yes. Christ's church has been plagued by heresies through the centuries. Gnosticism. Arianism. Docetism. Protestantism.
As Paul corrected the error, Christ's Church corrected other errors. I pray you will discover the miracle of the Eucharist, and understand His words - This is my Body.
