O.K....if not the Roman Catholic church, then which denomination started at the time of Christ followed His instruction and guidance more closely.....for the entire 2,013 years.....from beginning until now??

I've seen where others have already addressed the main point of your question - and quite adequately. But I DO have one concerning your math. How is it you consistently imply the Roman Catholic Church began in the first year A.D.? You've said "2,013 years" several times now. Not to be picky, but, I wonder why you think your church began when Jesus was arguably but an infant, only a few years old? You can't seriously believe this is also true, do you?

well it does stretch credibility a little....however, since Christ was God, and Hecertainly knew what and how He intended to form His church, it is not completely without merit to go back that far.....and the fact that noone knows the exact year or day helps....We're dealing with approximations here, not that the exact year had any meaning at all...
