Inquisition, much?

If you're members of a cult I have probably already have heard of it and dont need to hear the name again. If you hate the Catholic Church and think you have an alternative church that is holy, catholic, apostolic, historic, and visible, I'm listening.

You can listen for a long, long, time, because there is no such local visible church, let alone a whole unscriptural denomination having supralocal governance.

Apparently, you do not understand the differences between the Kingdom of Heaven (which is temporal and impure, containing both tares and good wheat) , and the Kingdom of Heaven/Christ (which is not of this world, and consists only of faithful regenerated believer-priests).

There is a Holy Church (Heb. 12:22-24), and there are visible churches (cf. 1 Cor. 3:1-3, 5:1-5 and other); and there is no word or concept of "catholic" regarding an association of local churches in the Bible. So there is no holy, visible, catholic Church in the Bible, or commended by it.
