Correct me if I am wrong, but the New Testiment tells me that the first christians were Jewish, worshiping in Jewish Synagogues in obedience to all the Laws given by the One True God. The Catholic Church were the first Christians? Is that a lie or an usurpation?

Like Muslims, they must falsely try to make every believer into one of them, even though they definitely were not. The church of Rome is such a deformation of the NT church that it is basically invisible in Scripture.

Sorry if you took my comments pro or con for the Roman Catholic Church. I have no great love nor angst for the institution, but do love many of the folks that attend there.

My thoughts were about the powerful!, powerful! Words of the Book. A love of the comfort, the power and joy that flows from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 building upon each so that none can be lifted out on its own without tearing the fabric of the whole.

God’s Words need no walls, only hearts to abide in. :-)

As for claims of original institute... again, you have the Word as your guide... not man :-)
