    esus did not establish an invisible Church. It is visible and with a visible rock and head: Peter and his successors.
  1. The Messiah chose the Apostle Peter and said that He would build His church upon him and gave him the power to bind and loose (which was extremely significant).
  2. The scriptures confirm that the Messiah's Church is built upon the apostles and prophets with the Messiah Himself as the chief cornerstone.
  3. The twelve apostles show up again in the scriptures in Revelation as foundation stones for the holy city, the new Jerusalem.
  4. The Messiah established a visible, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church and promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

1: Where’s the proof? First, Jesus gave the authority to bind and loose to ALL the apostles. Second, you haven’t shown that the modern-day organization calling itself Roman Catholic has that same authority.

2: You haven’t shown a single lick of evidence that the modern-day organization calling itself Roman Catholic has been referred to in Scripture.

3: You have not shown that the modern-day organization calling itself Roman Catholic is the holy city.

4: Logical Fallacy: Argument by Assertion. Just yelling at me in boldtext does not any kind of evidence make.

Cite your sources that the modern-day organization calling itself Roman Catholic is what is referred to in Scripture.

And then answer:

A: The fact that Roman Catholic doctrine contradicts the plain words of the Apostles they claim to have the same authority of.

B: The fact that the current church leadership is run by some very, very evil men who contradict the Word of God in Scripture on top of the contradictions that are in the official doctrines.

C: The fact that Jesus himself says that he will remove the lampstand of faithless churches.
