O.K....if not the Roman Catholic church, then which denomination started at the time of Christ followed His instruction and guidance more closely.....for the entire 2,013 years.....from beginning until now??

NONE!!!!!

That's what we've been trying to tell you.

The church, the true body of Christ, is not about denominations. It's not about religion. It's not about organizations.

It's about the body of Christ, called the church, being built up of all true believers WHERE EVER they are, whenever they lived, whatever church or denomination they choose to affiliate with.

No one denomination or label is the true church because a relationship with God through Christ is not about labels and rules and regulations.

The body of Christ is an organism, a living organism, not an organization, a dead system of works.

I don't know what *church* boatbums attends. Nor Cynical Bear, Syncro, presentlynoscreenname, daniel1212,smvoice, etc but I do know that they are brothers or sisters IN CHRIST because they have put their faith in Him for their salvation.

They are part of the church; they are the church.

if you were a Christian in the year 456, you were a Catholic.

if you were a Christian in the year 567, you were a Catholic

if you were a Christian in the year 789, you were a Catholic

moving along, if you were a Christian in the year l694 you were either a Catholic or someone who had decided to leave the true church and strike out on your own seeking new and untested waters.....good luck with that!
