Obviously, I would consider that to be a false teaching... but ultimately, I am not the Bridegroom, am I?
If one decides what is and isn't a false teaching, I think he/she is acting as if he/she is the Church.
I am sure you are willing to trust Him to do exactly as He has promised.
Yes, establish His Church, provide for Her guidance as the pillar and foundation of truth that the gates of Hell will not prevail against.
A real Church with one universal faith. It's quite a different concept that each person determining what is or isn't a true or false teaching.
thanks for your post.
The church is the body 'of believers' worldwide.. who adhere to the gospel message of life thru faith IN Christ. It is a matter of who He is and ones faith placed in Him and that relying on Him to do as He says HE will do for our benefit. That's trust in Him.
But a church building/leadership with a "Universal Faith", as you mentioned of the Catholic Church, plays very closely to that of the push for a one world church under the anti-Christ. Might want to re-phrase the verbage.
