“He founded a Church, gave it authority in the areas of faith and morals, and guards it from teaching error (Mt 18:17-18).

He certainly did and that Church is the Catholic Church. Only the most rapid die-hard Catholic Church haters deny this historical fact.

Once again you are resorting to argument by assertion, but as shown and said, the RCC cannot be that particular church, as,

Error #9, as the church of Rome is fundamentally contrary to the NT church, [it] is not where real disciples of Christ belong.

He founded a Church, gave it authority in the areas of faith and morals, and guards it from teaching error (Mt 18:17-18).

Error #10. That is the fundamental error, for besides the fact shown before that despite the wishful thinking of RCs, Mt 18:17-18 nor any other texts do not teach an an assuredly (if conditionally) infallible magisterium is essential for determination and assurance of Truth (including writings and men being of God) and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith, and authority. (Jn. 14:16,26; 15:26; 16:13; Mt. 16:18; Lk. 10:16)

Nor that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that Rome is that assuredly infallible magisterium, and thus those who dissent from the latter are in rebellion to God. For as said, this would invalidate the church itself, which began with common people recognizing what the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation would not, that a couple itinerant Preachers were of God.

You continue to post all the pro papal propaganda, but which are exposed as fallacious, and thus you continue to provide reasons why one should not submit to Rome. Let me know of your next attempt! .

You wish. The Catholic Church trying to re-write history notwithstanding there was no “Roman Catholic Church” until Constantine. Additionally the apostasy and atrocities perpetrated by the Catholic Church would stand to prove that it’s in no way the “church” Christ founded.
