He founded the Catholic Church and the Holy Spirit guides and protects it to this day.

He had somebody pen there are 7 churches, and what He holds against some.

But there was a 'head piece' some crowned Him with but looks nothing like the above headdress.

I am cut to pieces by your rapier-like wit.

Then you read what you wanted to read as there was nothing funny about the kind of crown the religious/political community placed upon His head.

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion: shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: HE is just, and having *salvation*; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

Would you like some Scripture about how ornately beautiful God prescribes His Temples be built?

You missed the whole point... Christ was 'salvation' before any church became established. The churches are suppose to teach the people the WORD of God from the Beginning, not teach church worship as being the only vehicle to salvation.

John 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, "Take these things hence; make not My Father's house an house of merchandise."

17 And His disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up."

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto Him, "What sign shewest Thou unto us, seeing that Thou doest these things?"

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

20 Then said the Jews, "Forty and six years was this Temple in building, and wilt Thou rear it up in three days?"

21 But He spake of the Temple of His body.

So yes give me the Scriptures that changed what Christ instructed, as HE did not build up earthly wealth and physical buildings of splendor to represent Himself.

Christ was perfect the only born in flesh to have never sinned. Matthew 23:9... you can look that one up.

I don't need to look up Matthew 23:9 to know it doesn't say that.

Oh so you know what Matthew 23:9 says.

The crown isn't funny, but your use of it is pedantic and sophist.

You missed the whole point...

No, I simply stand firm refusing your effort to change the subject.

Oh so you know what Matthew 23:9 says.

Yes, and it does not say what you claimed it says. You can look that one up.
