Well, if there is only one Jesus and one Christian church founded by him, then any other denominations not one with that original church of Jesus’ own creation must be a false church, no?
So is what all of you Mormon haters are saying is that that original church, which I believe is that papist Catholic Church, the only one around in 33 AD, the only true church with the only real Jesus?
Are all those other “Christian” churches false heretics or pagans because they do not follow the original Jesus? Shouldn’t we all start following that pope in his silly white dress?
How does a Mormon then differ from a Baptist or Episcopalian or Methodist? They all tossed aside the original Jesus.
“So is what all of you Mormon haters are saying is that that original church, which I believe is that papist Catholic Church, the only one around in 33 AD, the only true church with the only real Jesus?”
Mr. Oldbill,
“The Church” is the spiritual body of Christ. He is the head, and believers in Him are members of His body (Romans 12:4-5). They came into His body by believing that He was God’s Son sent to save His people from their sins. It is by God’s grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that we true Christians are saved.
The Church was not in existence during the lifetime of Jesus. She was born after Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection during Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was given to indwell all believers permanently. The first ones to receive His Holy Spirit were His apostles and disciples. They were all Jewish, not Gentiles, not Catholic. Then as the gospel of salvation through Christ spread and men believed, the Church increased and it didn’t take long before the majority of believers were Gentile.
The best answer to questions about the birth of the church is found by reading the New Testament. This is what this Mormon family did. Please watch the video; it shows how they found the truth.
Um, no.
Catholic talking point?
Stealth MORMONs just LOVE to divert attention away from the HERESY called Mormonism and get C's and P's fighting amoung themselves.
Keep reading the thread. You'll see.
Oh?
I'd like to hear more about this...
Very good points. Ironically, the Protestant Reformers are better called schismatic Catholics. Can the Catholic Church reign them back in?
