Christ founded the Church for the salvation of the human race.

Wrong.

God sent JESUS for the salvation of the human race.

John 3:14-18 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Romans 12:4-5 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

That He did and you know, and I know and Ebb tide knows that the church that He founded was the Catholic church....it has existed from the time of Christ because He instituted it as the eternal, inerrant, COMPLETE, symbol and example of His redemption of mankind.....can't change it, can't improve on it.....you can deny it, but it remains the ONLY true and complete Christian church on Earth.....
