Catholic church the biggest business organization yet

"It was named after God "The Church of God", logically speaking; he owns the church, therefore it was named after his glorious name. (Though i don't take the bible by verses i will provide some to prove my point.)"

By whom, when, and how do you know? How would a 'Church of God' differ from any other place where the Deity is worshipped, including synagogues, mosques, shrines, smoke-lodges, etc., etc.? Nope. As a Christian, I don't want to hang out in 'churches of God'. I want to attend a CATHOLIC MASS, where I can worship JESUS CHRIST. Feel me, Bro?:bs2:

The name of the real church introduced by Christ has a very simple name. It doesn't need some deep digging to realize that. It was named after God "The Church of God", logically speaking; he owns the church, therefore it was named after his glorious name. (Though i don't take the bible by verses i will provide some to prove my point.)

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.


1 Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

1 Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

1 Corinthians 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

1 Timothy 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

And finally:

Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

The question is does the "Catholic Church" inherited the name of the church established by God which is written in the Gospel?

You have to read the whole new testament to know what are the specific instructions for the member of the Church of God (not "Churches of God"). The problem with people is they believe to the preacher, in Catholic's Case; a priest. But they never give some time to understand and read the bible.

It's my greatest hope that in time, all of Mankind will become CATHOLIC.

HOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha

But the Catholic church is the church of God. "Catholic" meanxs universal, it's the universal Christian religion. These verses speak of just one church, not many.

So, what have I been doing, on a daily basis, for the last 35 years, when I held the Bible in hand and read it? :wtf:

The bible didn't say anything about universal religion. If you believe this "Catholic" means universal then prove it biblically.:peace:

Universal CHRISTIAN religion, Giblet-Head. And the Bible is not the last word on Christianity. The Christian community existed long before the New Testament was finally compiled, edited, approved and published. A lot of stuff happened during that time, in addition to the writing of what later became the New Testament. A lot of Catholic nomenclature, traditions, practices, etc., etc., evolved from that part of the Christian experience.

What did you said? "The Christian community existed long before the New Testament was finally compiled."? Actually, there is no word about Christians in old testament until Acts 11:26 which is in the New Testament. Again back to Galatians 1:8-9.

The Bible is not history. It's religious literature. It doesn't tell the whole story of Christianity, from its start to the present. That's the province of History, that is, the academic version. You're using the Bible to find explanations for everything. That's inappropriate and very inaccurate. It took Christians roughly 190 years to develop in its present form, the New Testament. And that fact is not in the New Testament itself. Nonetheless, the academic field of HISTORY tells us that's so. If you cherish the Bible, you must study its development, and to do that, you have to read sources besides the Bible itself. Trust me.....doing so will only cause you to love the Bible more. It's safe to the true believer and rational thinker. Trust me. Go ahead......Google up 'the history of the Bible'. That's "history OF the Bible", not 'history in the Bible'.
