Don't forget these churches:
Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
None of which were named Rome or Catholic.
So what? I'm GLAD the Roman Church wasn't named. Man, Jesus was royally torqued at them. Threatening with coming and taking their candlesticks away.
Nah! I like better how St. Paul addressed the Roman Church.
To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
The argument from silence is a fallacy.
