The “other sheep” of which Christ spoke to the Jews were the gentiles, and the remaining 10 tribes that had already been dispersed across the globe.
Christ’s church is a mystical body, not a man made corporation, and his church has no buildings, nor wealth. It exists in the hearts of the believers (whever two or 3 are gathered).
The “catholic church” is the whore of the book of revelation, and the rest of the earthly churches are the daughters. None are Christ’s.
I wouldn’t say that the Catholic church is the whore of Babylon mentioned in Revelation. I don’t believe we know for sure who that is until the Tribulation. However, the continuous stating that the Catholic church is the only church is very frustrating to me. Especially when my Greek Orthodox friend says that his church was the very first church and the Catholics broke away. Who am I supposed to believe? Both are adamant in their arguments that they were first. Then I realized - who cares who was first. All we need is the Bible.
The idea that the “one true church” could have carried out the Ustasha tells me that this one true church does not hold to the teachings of Christ.
Agreed! The Church is the “Body of Christ” on earth. He knows those that are His, and one day He will present us, His bride without spot and wrinkle!
He is cleaning out the spots and pressing out the wrinkles now!
