Quite a few were not serving God, but themselves.
I suppose that that everyone that lived and called themselves Christian until Martin Luther came along all burned in hell because they were following satan and his evil religion.
There were many Christians since the first century that were members of the church that Jesus started.
Not all Christians were Catholic.
In fact none were until about the 3rd century when Catholicism started and history was re-written to declare the Apostles Catholics!
The Catholic church is wrong for not following it’s own policies.
Show me the official policy of that Baptist Church regarding funerals.
There ya go posting a picture of the box your cereal comes in again. Bless your heart.

ROTFLMAO, see what goofy faux history the Church of One teaches?
Not my church.
I’m not Catholic any longer.
If it’s not your church why do you post lists of the 10 worst popes. Why do you ever say a negative thing about a faith that you are not part of?
To alert people to the leading of false religions.
Perhaps you missed that thread about Pope Benedict defrocking roughly 400 priests?
What a sense of humor God has!
He can see you right through his fingers...

Nope, didn’t miss it. Now convince me that the stench isn’t still pervasive and the highest levels. Like maybe start with the guard who tells what’s going on at the Vatican.
In the worldly sense, yes.
Biblically, no.
See Here or study the Bible.
BTW, Christians are spread all over the world, millions of them. Some are Catholics.
Oops! LOL
That is not His church, it is your church. The denomination called Catholicism.
The church that Jesus started has been explained earlier on this thread.
People of different denominations often reject the teachings of men from other denominations. You gotta live with it.
"Sweetie"?? You appear to be flirting with several posters on this thread. (Or do you mean it in a condescending derogatory manner?) This is not a dating site.
No sweetie, you can call anything you want any name you want. That changes nothing. You really are not that important.
Our Lord gave us His Church, a Universal (that is CATHOLIC) Church that has existed since He created it. You can warble all you want and make up whatever bizarro faux history makes you feel good. It matters not even on little bit.
Now the Catholic church is "the church of one?"
I see you pinged your posse. Will they all pile on now? Or did you embarrass them with the ping?
Well you see that’s what I do and I consider the Catholic Church the One, True, Apostolic faith and if was not the true faith it would been relegated to the asp heap of history thousands of years ago. The Catholic Church is an ocean in a world full of ponds and puddles – just as we would hope Christ’s Church would be.
More cereal boxes, that's what we need! She's killin' 'em in Cincinnati with those things.
The crowd goes "raaahh!" "More, more!" "Hit 'em with fractal wrongness graphics!" "That's what we want, we wanna see 'em wacked up-side the head with more cereal boxes and wrongness gifs"
No, it appears you can though. Calling the church that Jesus started the Catholic Church when there were not Catholics in the 1st century.
If you want to be believable, show me scripture that identifies the Catholic Church in the 1st century.
We have shown many times how it got started about 300 years later. Did you miss those threads?
You really are not that important.
Does it make you feel good to break the RF rules and get personal?
No, I won't report it. I kinda like it when a poster goes all "bizarro " and prefer the posts to stay up for posterity. Sometimes.
