For example, the Roman Catholic Church said that it was built by Christ in Jerusalem during the 33 year AD. But is it really true.
Now, if we will read all the books except the Bible, you'll find out that the Roman Catholic Church is really the one built by Christ in Jerusalem.
But it is of course obvious that the thought will be like that because most of the authors of these books are Catholics, or if not, they simply quoted the statements found in any Catholic books.
But there is one collection of books that a good researcher should refer when examining if the Roman Catholic Church is really the true Church built by Christ in Jerusalem. And these is called the Bible.
You see, the new testament writers are all witnesses of the establishment of the Church of Christ during the first century. And if you'll scan the entire new testament of the Bible, you will never find even a single statement that can be used to prove that the Roman Catholic Church is really the church built by Christ.
What we can find is that Christ build his own church. Apostles called it Church of Christ not Roman Catholic Church. Besides, the Bible is telling us that the church built by Christ is not Roman Church but Church for all whether Jews or Gentiles.
But why are they claiming that they are true church? It is of course obvious... They want the people not to leave the church. Remember that priests, bishops and other authorities in the Roman Catholic Church are earning money from the Catholic services. If people will leave the church, then who will pay for their services? None. So, if that happens, people who are depending from the church's income will be having the hard time to live.
But how about those other church that claim to be the true Church?
Well, they're just simply the splinters of the Roman Catholic church. If you will really believe the Bible, you'll not be tempted to believe that church built by Christ are those churches that merely the splinters of the false Church, the Roman Catholic church. If the origin of these splinter churches is false, then it also true that these splinter churches are all false.
You better believe in the Bible. And the Bible will tell you which of these church is true. And I am sure, that there is only one true Church that exist. And that is what we should strive hard to find it.
But don't ever forget that the name of the true Church is Church of Christ.
