“The problem is that many groupings like your own erroneously come to the laughable idea that the Catholic Church did not come into being until the fourth century. when Emperor Constantine legitimized Christianity in the Roman Empire. . . . &c.”


I’m just enjoying the thought of all the people who are reading this.

Why do you need to use the word, “Universal” (”Catholic”)? Why do you try to equate it with anything in the Scriptures?

Because it is The Church, founded by Christ, as opposed to little sects/cults. We are not a sect but are the Original Church of Christ, founded by Christ and led by His Apostles. We are Catholic as in we are not the Church of Calvin or The Church of Luther or the Church of John Leland, we are The Church of Christ.

Why do you try to equate it with anything in the Scriptures? So, you say the same thing about the Trinity.
