Because Jesus told me so.
We have Christ’s promise that His Church will always teach the Truth:
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:12-13
“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15
I believe Scripture. Do you?
Jesus is the Rock not a feeble man who was not perfect.
Of course.
The HOLY SPIRIT guides us into all truth and while the church is the pillar and foundation of truth, it is itself not the truth.
It’s supposed to uphold the truth, which is the word of God and that is NOT something that the Catholic church does when it denigrates it and puts the magisterium and “sacred tradition” on equal or greater footing than the word of God itself.
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:12-13
“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

Seriously, that's all you got??? Your religion was built on those scriptures...They apply to the Mormon church as well as to the Jehovah Witnesses...How do we know the Mormons are not the true Church???
