Your fallible opinion: ‘The catholic church today and for centuries is not the early church Jesus established in the upper room and on the day of Pentecost and thereafter as it grew....rather it established ‘itself’ when it took on all the trappings, flare and pomp of Rome and it’s political hierarchy of power, which Jesus warned about and they ignored.”
May God have Mercy on you so that you may know His Truth.
The Catholic Church may have many sinners including the hierarchy, but Jesus said he would be with her until the end of time Matthew 16:18
True, Jesus said he would be with His church until the end of time.
His church includes every single soul who has declared that Jesus Christ is Lord, and who follows Him.
To limit that only to members of the Catholic church is quite erroreonous, and is totally against Holy Scripture.
I’m surprised to see that misguided viewpoint still being pushed here.
May God have mercy on you so that you can see Gods Truth in all of it’s Glory.
Come, join Jesus’ true church.
All born again Catholics are welcome, along with the rest of the true believers
