I have not said a word on thread about the Catholic church. I HAVE referred to MacArthur's use of the term "the church."
I have noted the common conception of the "invisible church." Seems people do not want to engage the actual question I am asking. Wonder why.
*sigh*
Well, for most of the RC’s on this forum, they brag on the RCC being the *visible* body of Christ on the earth.
When non-Catholics address the fact that the body of Christ is comprised of believers of all time throughout the church age, they pitch a fit and question how a church can be invisible.
Y’all ought to make up your collective minds on what you want your words to mean so everyone can keep track of what page y’all are on.

I fully engaged your false,deceptive question, and you declared it to be a rabbit trail.
No visible evidence that you wish anything but to discredit the word of God as revealed to the elect directly by the Holy Spirit.

I actually provided a NT framework to discuss this topic. As I stated previously, the first area to address is 'who' adds souls to the church.
