One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church

DG: 

That church (in Scripture) certainly isn't the Catholic Church.

It certainly is and there is no other. Scripture tells me so.


First, Jesus Christ appointed a Pastor as head of the entire Church: 
John 21:17 
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 


I see only a few Churches with such a Pastor. Further, Jesus Christ said that the Pastor over His Church would be infallible: 


Matthew 16:17-19 (King James Version) 
17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.18And 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. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 


The list of Churches accept this teaching gets smaller. Certainly, all Protestant denominations can now be eliminated. 


Jesus Christ not only said that the Pastor was infallible but Scripture describes the Church as infallible: 
Ephesians 3:10 
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 


The list remains the same, but now I can certainly eliminate all Protestant denominations. 


Back to Matt 16:18, Scripture says that Jesus Christ established one Church. History shows that all the Churches sprang from the Church which is frequently described as the Mother Church. The Catholic Church. 


By simple logic of elimination, that leaves only the Catholic Church. Further, the Catholic Church can produce records tracing back to Apostolic times. 


Therefore, I conclude that it is the Catholic Church which is described in Scripture. 

The Catholic Church is neither one,

Sure it is. There is only one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

holy,

It is the Church which is responsible for all the Saints. From St. Matthew to St. Kateri and still going.

universal,

Unlike the Southern Baptists and many other landlocked Protestant denominations, the Catholic Church is truly universal, existing in every nation on this earth.

or apostolic.

Yeah, it is the only Church which is so. Historical records prove that she has been around since Jesus said, "On this rock I will build my Church."

That makes your slogan 0/4.

Nah. That makes you 0/4. The Catholic Church is the Church which Christ built. There is no other. Certainly not your man made denomination.

Sincerely,

De Maria
