there was no Roman Catholic Church for 300 years after Matthew?
LOL!
i love these statements that are just thrown out there without any facts or evidence provided to support them.
let’s examine this statement, shall we?
who established the Roman Catholic Church in the 4th century?
what happened to the Christians before the RCC was established?
what historians or Christian before the 16th century thought the RCC was started in the 4th century and not the 1st?
what doctrinal change in the 4th century was started by thr RCC as opposed to the Christians before them?
St Augustine lived in Northern Africa in the late 4th century, early 5th century. He wrote that the Catholic Church, of which he was a bishop, was the Church established by Jesus Christ. what do you know in the 21st century that St Augustine didn’t know in the late 4th century?
in the mid 2nd century, St Irenaeus provided a continuous list of the Bishops of Rome from St Peter to the Bishop of his day. Augustine provided an updated list from that period til his day. how were they wrong and you are right?
much like my question of who has the authority to infallibly state the canon of Scripture, these questions will go unanswered.
cue the crickets..........
There was no Roman catholic church until the 300's even then there was no "mass" no "sacrifice" , no purgatory , etc...
