OP, just admit it. You formulated your question incorrectly based on the answer you were trying to elicit. It happens to the best of us.

You asked about a beginning, which requires a temporal dimension. Based on that word, the Church began, in time, on Pentecost after the Resurrection.

Eternally, the Church has always existed, it has no beginning or end.
 
Saying I’m incorrect doesn’t actually make me incorrect. Whatever, I’m done with this topic. It’s useless to waste time on someone unwilling to admit that they’ve made a mistake.

The church teaches that the Church began on Pentecost, with the descent of the Holy Spirit. Anything more is you just trying to twist words to make yourself look smart. Your attempt is failing, and is really just making you look like a petulant child.

I formulated the question in the simplest of ways. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Yes, all came to be from the Will of God. But there is a specific answer that someone has given which is the actual answer to the question.

Few more hours. Someone else has said it and so I wish for that person, or those people, to write it, with the Church reference.

(hint: its available on the Internet!).

You refer to Christ’s moment of death and call it the resurrection? Makes no sense.

Jesus died for our schedule is, that is how we are saved. From the CCC:

601 The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of “the righteous one, my Servant” as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.397 Citing a confession of faith that he himself had “received”, St. Paul professes that "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures."398 In particular Jesus’ redemptive death fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy of the suffering Servant.399 Indeed Jesus himself explained the meaning of his life and death in the light of God’s suffering Servant.400 After his Resurrection he gave this interpretation of the Scriptures to the disciples at Emmaus, and then to the apostles.
 
That is the most charitable take on the thread. I suppose I will accept an excuse of “malformed question”.
 
I answered the question. He had to suffer death. After that point, the Passion was over. He was now going to Resurrect. He did die for our sins. He was the Sacrifical Lamb. ‘Through His wounds you have been healed’ (1 Peter 2:24). But He still had to Resurrect from the dead. Without any Resurrection, where would be the proof of life after death. Thank you for the Catechism link.

Oh, so you wait until the thread is about to be closed, then post your answer, and there can be no debate. Classic.
 
You stated explicitly “The Resurrection was the means through which we were saved”, which is demonstrably false.
 
You are nit-picking.

Certain posts have been flagged.

If so many are not showing you respect, perhaps the problem might be you.

YESSSSSS!!!

I was actually forbidden from Pokemon growing up because my parents thought that it was Satanic. That was a bummer for me since the general aesthetic was perfect for my love of animals and cute things. To this day, I still haven’t managed to beat one of the games. I actually probably have more experience with them from Smash Bros. 😳 Jigglypuff and Pikachu are both among my favorite fighters in that series
 
I have given a simple question and will state it simply unless the person (or people) who has already stated the answer (who I am not going reveal although I might have done in less explicit ways) finds the reference and provides the URL first. You still have time.
