When Christ spoke of the Church, He always used the singular — and yet now there are over 40,000 different denominations of Christians in the world, with the number only rising daily. If these Churches hold conflicting views, can all of them be the “True Church”? Can there be such a thing as a “True Church”, and does it still exist? Join host Michael Voris as he answers these questions and shows that the One True Church is the Catholic Church.

You keep repeating the same tired and demonstrably false arguments as if I might forget we already talked about this! I agree, yes, the "church" is one body, the bride of Christ, God's spiritual house of which each and every believer is a living stone joined to it through faith. I couldn't care less what Voris says as he is just as deluded as anyone else who asserts only their church is the one, true church of Christ. The inane 40,000 denominations argument can be used against the 8,000 Catholic denominations that exist in that same alluded to study that I doubt you even know where it came from. You guys toss it out as if it is carved in stone and conveniently ignore what it says about your OWN church!

Tell me, does Voris count the Eastern Orthodox in as part of this one, true church or is he concluding they are all condemned to hell with all the Protestants? Do you guys ever take your arguments to their logical conclusions? The ONLY way Jesus' body can possibly be ONE is if it is that spiritual body of which ONLY genuine believers are part. The Roman Catholic, the Orthodox, the Southern Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, etc. churches cannot be that ONE church seeing as unbelievers sit in pews every Sunday. But from each assembly/congregation there are believers who make up that one body who have received the gift of God by faith. It can't get any more plain than that!

I have tried to explain this in the best ways I can but I can't force you or anyone else to accept it. Believe what you want, you will not convince me. I hope in heaven we will be able to shake hands and rejoice together in the awesome grace of God that saved us.
