Okay, show me the verse that says, “Christ founded the catholic (small c) as in universal church of believers.” Also, show me exactly how a “believer” is defined and by whom. How are Mormons not believers, for instance? How about Oneness Pentecostals?

“The RCC confiscated the original pure intent and polluted it.”

Confiscated? How can anyone confiscate intent? Intent in not a tangible thing. How does someone confiscate something that no one can actually touch?

“Not much different then the Mormons or Muslims.”

So, Mormons and Muslims confiscated the intent of Christianity? So, Christians don’t have it anymore? DO you realize that you’re not even posting coherent ideas?

“BTW, the Muslims used the Old Testament and Mary is the only woman of note.”

And?

Confiscate, to use as ones own regardless of true ownership. Nice try at deflection again though.

Christ founded a “universal” church as in all believers in Him are part of that “universal” church. Catholic - a person who belongs to the universal Christian church (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catholic)

Okay, show me the verse that says, “Christ founded the Catholic (capital c) as in The Roman Catholic church. I don't see it named anywhere in Scripture. I see no instructions on where it was to be headquartered, how the apostolic succession was to be handed down, or any of the other specifics that Catholics claim Jesus instituted but didn't give specific instructions for.
