Which Church is God’s true Church, and why? Is it the Roman Catholic Church?

I believe that it is the Roman Catholic Church.

What are your thoughts? Please support your opinions with facts. I will provide information, which all goes to support the fact that the Roman Catholic Church is the true Church, founded by Jesus Christ and the Church that God intended for all men…
 
Jesus revealed His Church will be built on the faith and person of Peter. The Catholic Church is this Church.

You are not interested in anyone’s thoughts to the contrary, so why ask? So, what facts do you offer to support your view?
 
  1. Matthew 16:18
  2. 1 Tim 3:15
  3. Look at the amount of Miracles the Church has(Apparitons, Eucharistic Miracles, other miracles). Compare that to Protestant miracles.
  4. Magisterium. The Church has a God- given power to interpret Scripture. When people go against this, new religions form. For a detailed explination, watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=aqHE8ky1prc
  5. We have the most members (of Christianity)
  6. James 2:24. Completely debunks most of Protestantism.
  7. ALL Protestant denominations have been created by men. The Church was created by God. Support for that goes back to point #1.

An appropriate point made. It is just another rhetorical question with a sharp point aimed at anyone who disagrees with the Catholic point of view. There is no proof whatsoever that the Church Christ founded was the Roman Catholic church. The reason why is very simple, because it isn’t.

Sia,

So tell me, what Church in your mind, is the true church?

And please tell me when it started, who was it started by and how it came about, and what is your reasoning for it being the true church.

Please don’t say its the Protestant Church that Jesus Christ founded on Rock for we all know it came about in the 1500, One thousand five hundred years after Jesus Resurection.

And by thinking that, you would be incorrect.To understand the essence of Catholicism I refer you to the Pauline doctrine of the Church. Sacraments, hierarchy, veneration of the saints, the function of Our Lady in the Christian economy, eschatology, bodily resurrection, ethics - all these, even to the doctrine of indulgences, flow naturally from the solidarity of the Church, as St. Paul taught his converts. Without this basic doctrine they are disconnected and meaningless, like parts of a building whose plan is untraced, or the organs of a plant whose functions in the life of that plant are not understood. In the life of this doctrine they are seen as the necessary parts of one harmonious edifice, as the mutually adapted organs of one life. For St. Paul the Church is one body. By this he means that it is a society of individual souls diverse in function, but moved and vivified by one common life principle or soul, the Holy Spirit. In the human body all the members and even the cells are vivified and moved and directed by the one soul. It is true that the cells have their subordinate life; but while the body lives the cell-life is obedient to the soul-life and receptive to that life. The independent action of the cells only leads to the disintegration of the body. So all the members of the Christian society, are in proportion to their possession of sanctifying grace and to their obedience to it, vivified and moved by God through the indwelling of the Spirit in their souls. As a man advances in grace, the Spirit possesses, dominates, and fashions his soul with increasing fullness, until at last when the work of sanctification is complete, his entire soul-life is moved and vivified by the Spirit. Then every soul-act is an act not only of the human agent, though it is always his human act, but at the same time an act of the Spirit received in his soul.

Evidences of the exercise of the primacy of St. Peter may be found in the earliest times. Even before the death of St. John the Apostle, Pope Clement in the year 96 A.D. writes an authoritative letter to the Church at Corinth, in Greece, where certain disorders were rife. In this letter we find the following significant passage: “If there be any who will not heed the words of Christ as spoken through us, let them know, that they are guilty of grievous sin and expose themselves to extreme peril” (59:1). In this letter to the Romans, St. Ignatius of Antioch commends his diocese to the community at Rome which, he says with profound reverence, enjoys the pre-eminence in love (“love” here connotes “all the new elements that Christ’s love brought into the world and that constitutes the essence of Christianity”).
 
Sadly, all who disagreed with OP have sa far posted ZERO evidence/citations. Isn’t it strange?😛

Clement’s letter has been dated from before the fall of Jerusalem until 100 AD. 96 AD :rolleyes:
