First Christians were Catholic, deal with it, it’s fact.
Now tell that to brotha Jimmah Swaggart and the rest of the haters.

>>First Christians were Catholic, deal with it, it’s fact.<<

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians (Christianos) first in Antioch.,P Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian (Christianos).

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian (Christianos), let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Christianos - follower of Christ

There is no word "Catholic" in the New Testament. Deal with it. It's a fact.

“First Christians were Catholic, deal with it, it’s fact.”

Apparently, brainwashing has worked better for some than others. Instead of parroting what you’ve heard mortals tell you in mass, try learning what GOD has to say by going directly to The Source and studying the Bible. And here’s a clue: You won’t find “Catholic”.

Most of the R.C. razzle-dazzle was created as revenue generating measures so the R.C. leaders could live in luxury. The Catholic influx began long after New Testament times. It’s a fact; deal with it.

The first Christians were Jewish.
I’ve been to Peter’s hometown in Gallilee.
The ruins of his church are at least 200 years older than the Catholic Church.
