So says the Catholic Church. There are many people who have been duped into believing that for sure. Unfortunately its simply a lie. There is no such concept within the teachings of the apostles. Catholics cant show where most of what the Catholic Church teaches and practices comes from the apostles. We can show where much of it comes from the pagans and God condemned taking from the pagans to serve Him. So this meme Jesus Christ started the Catholic Church may be believed by those who are blind to Gods truth but not to truly born again Christians.
Christ didnt start a church. What was started is a body of believers who while still on this earth meet in what the New Testament called an assembly which at that time meant those called out. The term church is a corruption perpetuated by the Catholic Church just as they have corrupted most all of what scripture teaches.
Not worth responding to.
