What you will not find in Scripture are the Protestant denominations



Lutero:

If anyone can find the Roman catholic church in Scripture except in the sins of Israel before her captivity and the nations around her that God condemned and the warnings to the Body of Christ about not falling into the same errors, then so be it. BUT except in those warnings by the prophets and apostles you will find NOTHING. And you will find that the Roman catholic church will be held just as guilty for promoting a false gospel and heresies as identified in God's Word.
What you will not find are the Protestant denominations. None of them. But the Catholic Church is thoroughly described in Scripture:

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

King James Version (KJV)

16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Which Church still expects Christians to keep the Ten Commandments?

King James Version (KJV)

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Which Church teaches Apostolic Succession?
2 Timothy 2:2

King James Version (KJV)

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Etc. etc.

The Catholic Church is described in Scripture.

Sincerely,

De Maria
