“Ain’t that the truth.”

As it must be for the Church established by Christ. Christ established the Church BEFORE the New Testament was written. The Church, therefore, is built upon Christ, the Apostles and the truth given to them. Any Church which claims to hve been built upon the Bible must naturally have been established by men and not Christ, and is, therefore, a sect, false and rebellious against Christ.

Christ identified the Church as all who acknowledge Christ as their savior. Your whole premise is false. It is the Catholic Church which is based on tradttions of men. Just because Christ's words were only later recored in the New Testament doesn't mean a Bible based Church is therefore a sect. Your argument lacks logic.

Sorry, forgot to remove the italics in last post....

“Whosoever believeth in Me shall not perish, but have everlasting life”.

I don’t recall that being modified by “if you join the right denomination”.

For me, the “Church” is merely the body of believers and all believers are “saints” by definition.

However, it wasn't YOUR Church that Jesus established...It's a pity your religion gets it's hooks into so many before before they've had a chance to get their hooks into the scripture...

But then I assume they aren't looking for Jesus anyway...They are looking for a religion...

Now that's a crazy statement...

Jesus revealed to Paul how He wanted His church set up...Paul set about to put these instructions on paper and made sure they were read in the churches...And those instructions are ONLY in the scriptures...
