The Catholic Church has a history that spans over two thousand years, and it began with none other than Jesus Christ himself. At least, that is what modern popes believe. But at first, there was just one church, and there was no division between Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and other branches of Christianity. Christians all over the known world were united, and together, they made their spirituality bloom. Their religion took over the lives of villagers, nobles, kings, queens, and even newly-arrived pagan armies that came to conquer Europe.

Many gentiles did follow Jesus but were never accepted into the fold. When Jesus encounters a Jew He says follow me but when encountering a gentile, even if the gentile says' I want to follow you', Jesus says no, go now and tell others what you have seen. I'm afraid even Jesus rejected the gentiles because He was trying to fix Judaism first

According to the Holy Quran, Jesus didn't claim that he was the son of Allah(God) But He said... Zuhruf 64 I seek refugee in Allah from the Satan. In the name of Allah ,Rahman ,Rahim "Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is a straight path." ----------------- And on the resurrection day Allah will ask Jesus about the Christian faith. Quran - Maaide 116-118 And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities (gods) besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ---------------- If you love Jesus, accept him as a Messenger not as the God and not as the son of Allah. If you are follower of Jesus, believe in Messenger Muhammad, too. Because that's what he really wants you to do. And he heralded the coming of Messenger Muhammed. Jesus said to his people this👇👇👇 Quran -Saff -6 And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic." Quran -Women 171 O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. ---------------------------- I invite you to be a Muslim. Latest, last and only valid religion in the Hereafter. First step is to say "I witness that there is no god but ALLAH, and i witness that Mohammad is Messenger of Allah" and believe in this. Islam is a monotheistic religion. Allah doesn't accept the existence of false deities and He orders humanity to believe in only one God, Him. He explains why it is impossible the existence of gods other than Him in Holy Quran in chapter Isra which means The Night Journey and in chapter Enbiya which means Prophets. Quran-Isra-43 Say, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way." Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity. The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving. Quran-Prophets-22 Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides ALLAH, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe. -------------------- Six Pillars of Faith in Islam 1-To believe in Omnipotent Allah (GOD) (without ascribing partners to Him. Without saying "He has a son." Without saying "He has a helper out of weakness") 2-Angels (Without giving them woman names. Without saying "They are daughters of Allah") 3-All Holy Scriptures (Books revealed by Allah) 4-All Messengers (accepting them as human beings not gods or sons of God) 5-Judgement Day (Resurrection Day) 6-Destiny Five Pillars of Islam 1- SHAHADA To say "I witness that there is no god save Allah, and i witness that Muhammad is His Messenger." 2- SALAT To perform prayer 5 times a day. 3- SAWM Fasting in the month Ramadan according to lunar calendar. (29-30 days) 4- ZAKAT If you are rich you give alms to poor people. 5- HAJJ To make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Kaba if you can afford. You become a pilgrim after this visit.

Allah is satan. Islam was invented by satan to try undermine the one and only true God and Jesus. Please read. Exodus 20 1-5 The existence of allah and mohumad is a blasphemy to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus says NOBODY comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME! The only way to salvation is through repentance of your sins and belief that the Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua died on the cross for our sins and iniquity and was raised back to life on the third day (as witnessed by hundreds) your salvation is not by works or how many times a day you pray but through the blood of Christ JESUS who died for YOU and me.

I think your reference of Jesus travelling through Palestine is not historically accurate. Jesus traveled through Judea, also known as the land of Canaan. The people in this area called Philistines originated as an immigrant group from the Aegean (Greece) that settled in Canaan.

I did a double take on that too. Christ was no politician, or governmental political agitator, at all, though he did get under the skin of the Pharisees and Sadducees, quite often, which was a good thing, but it got him crucified.

[@margaretoconnor7077]

​@@greglongmore6503 About Idolatry Exodus 20:4 You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters. The Lord did not prohibit statues; he prohibited worshiping them. God actually commanded the making of images. Just five chapters later, God commanded Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant, which would contain the presence of God and was to be venerated as the holiest place in all of Israel. Here is what God commanded Moses concerning the statues on it: And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends (Ex. 25:18-19). In Numbers 21:8-9, not only did our Lord order Moses to make another statue in the form of a bronze serpent, but he commanded the children of Israel to look at it in order to be healed. The context of the passage is one where Israel had rebelled against God, and a plague of deadly snakes was sent as a just punishment. This statue of a snake had no power of itself-we know from John 3:14 that it was merely a type of Christ-but God used this image of a snake as an instrument to effect healing in his people. Further, in 1 Kings 6, Solomon built a temple for the glory of God, described as follows: In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. . . . He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. . . . He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees, and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. . . . For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood. . . . He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold (1 Kgs. 6:23, 27, 29, 31, 32). King Solomon ordered the construction of multiple images of things both “in heaven above” (angels) and “in the earth beneath” (palm trees and open flowers). After the completion of the temple, God declared he was pleased with its construction (1 Kgs. 9:3). It becomes apparent, given the above evidence, that a strictly literal interpretation of Exodus 20:2-5 is erroneous. Otherwise, we would have to conclude that God prohibits something in Exodus 20 and elsewhere commands the very same thing. Why would God use these images of serpents, angels, palm trees, and open flowers? Why didn’t he heal the people directly rather than use a “graven image”? Why didn’t he command Moses and Solomon to build an ark and a temple without any images at all? First, God knows what his own commandments mean. He never condemned the use of statues absolutely. Second, God created man as a being who is both spiritual and physical. To draw us to himself, God uses both spiritual and physical means. He will use statues, the temple, or even creation itself to guide us to our heavenly home. Psalm 19:1 tells us: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.” Romans 1:20 says: “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.” Gazing at a sunset-or a great painting of a sunset-and contemplating the greatness of God through the beauty of his creation is not idolatry. Nor is it idolatrous to look at statues of great saints of old and honor them for the great things God has done through them. It is no more idolatrous for us to desire to imitate their holy lives and honor them than it was for Paul to exhort the Corinthians to imitate his own holy life (1 Cor. 4:16) and to “esteem very highly” those who were “over [the Thessalonians] in the Lord and admonish [them]” (1 Thess. 5:12-13). Having statues honoring God or great saints brings to mind. For Catholics, having statues is just as natural as-having pictures in our wallets to remind us of the ones we love here on earth. But reminding ourselves of loved ones is a far cry from idolatry.

The feud also turned into a battle of who's God or gods were more powerful between Moses and the Priests. Each of the plagues directly corresponded with an Egyptian god and by the third one the Priests were noticably shaken. They watch the God of Moses systematically dominate each of their Gods as a display. He saved the sun and the Pharos son himself (as they were seen as gods) for last. By the end of if most of the priests had to declare that the God of the Israelites MUST be Lord. Even in modern times scientists have confirmed that the plagues can be explained by a series of natural phenomena (some of which are historically verifiable and the others make scientific sense to follow) on a much larger scale than has ever been seen. That also makes sense as the Egyptian gods were nature gods. He displayed total dominion over the earth. In the end though can you really be mad at a king for demonstrating that he IS in fact King?

Hello @jbbangcong1293! I'd like to share you some thoughts to help you understand catholicism further. We have images /sculpturee used as recollection of what Jesus might look like , it is like a picture of our loved ones we carry in our wallets, we do not idolize the picture itself but it is just a remembrance of a person and although our loved ones are still in our hearts we still fancy having them with us visually same goes with the images in Catholics. Like Bible , it is just a book but we highly respect it as it hold the word of God. We do not idolize the book but it is a remembrance that Jesus and God is with us. It's true that we are supposed to have faith in him without these images etc , but some people have weak faith or don't believe in him (I'm not shaming them) but sometimes they get reminded when they see the images , which gives them time to think about right and wrong. At church we listen to priest, they read exactly what is in the bible and relate it to what we are going thru in modern day, they never ask us to idolize anyone or anything. Regarding Mary, disciples and/or saints, they act as role model on how they have been faithful to Jesus Christ. We don't see them as Gods but simply just a role model. To ask the Mother of Jesus to intercede for us is not idolatry. we believe like all Christians do which is salvation through Jesus alone.But we also believe in the communion of saints (those righteous ones who are in the presence of God to give God the Father praise right now in heaven). Hope I was able to answer your question and I appreciate that you took interest in knowing us.

Ignatus wanted to be The Sole Leader, so he started Catholicism and elevated the office of a bishop to head leader and self proclaimed himself to be a bishop. I am a senior citizen, we were taught this at a young age , but now lies are being mingled in by satan to hide the truth of the matter. As a matter of fact we were taught in school and college at that time that the world’s three major religions were Catholics , Christians , and Jews. This was before Muslims had a explosive growth. The Catholics just started to call themselves Christians about maybe 20 years ago or so Catholics do not follow the same doctrine as Christians. Catholics esteem Mary as the Highest and that’s who they pray to. Christians KNOW CHRIST as The Highest and that’s who we pray to. Catholics think salvation is through the works. Christians know salvation is to be BORN AGAIN of water and of The Spirit, like Jesus Christ said in John 3:5. Catholics believe in baptizing babies. Christians know that Jesus said Children are already the Greatest in The Kingdom of GOD

Rome was orthodox during the first century and left the orthodox Church ☦️ in 1054. The orthodox popes of Rome fought against the Carolingian who tried to force them to add the filioque for an entire century after Charlemagne asked Saint Pope Leo II to add the filioque. Saint Leo II refused and nailed two silver shields on the doors of his basilica with the unaltered creed engraved in Greek and in Latin with this sentence: I, Leo, did this for the sake and love of the orthodox faith. The 8th ecumenical council of 880 anathematized anyone daring to add or remove anything to or from the Nicene Creed. Saint pope John VIII validated the 8th ecumenical council and this ended the filioque dispute from a doctrinal point of view. But not from a political one. In 882 saint John VIII was murdered with a hammer. A war hammer, such a thes ones of the Germans. After his martyrdom Rome fall in deep chaos (the Pornocratia or the rule of the Harlot) and finally the Germans imposed their will in February 14 1014 with the coronation of Henry II as 'holy roman germanic emperor' in Rome, when the filioque was firstly added to the Roman creed. The second German pope Leo IX claimed the imperial Insignia for himself in 1050 and constituted a Pontifical State with a chancellor, the infamous Humbert de Moyenmoutiers who was responsible for the Great Schism of 1054. That's when the Roman Catholic Church really started (Gregorian Reformation). The true Church is the orthodox Church ☦️

The pagan Catholicism is a heresy itself.

For those who would claim that Peter is the rock upon which Christ’s church was built. This is not the case and there are many in church history who would disagree with Catholics on this matter. The Greek word for Peter is petros which means a single rock or a boulder. It is not upon him that Christ’s Church was built. The Greek word for rock in this passage is petra which means a rocky foundation or bedrock and it is upon this petra that Christ builds His church. Now what is the petra that Jesus is referring to? In context, it is the confession that Peter gave “you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” It is upon this foundation, something revealed from the Father in heaven that Christ builds His church, not on a fallible and sinful man (like all of us) like Peter. The word Rock is a title God uses of Himself and it is clearly applied to Jesus (Deuteronomy 32:4, 15, 18, 32:30-31; 2 Samuel 23:3; Psalm 89:26; Isaiah 17:10; 30:29; 44:8; Habakkuk 1:12; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5; Matthew 16:18 Roman Catholicism claims that Peter was the first Pope and the office of Pope began with him. Based on Peter’s own words, we are given no indication that he was a pope or ever saw himself as the leader above all after Jesus’ ascension. 1 Peter 5:1-3 NASB [1] Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, [2] shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; [3] nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. CHURCH FATHERS QUOTES ON MATTHEW 16:18: Augustine of Hippo: “Peter, called after this rock, represented the person of the Church which is built upon this rock, and has received 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven.' For, ‘Thou art Peter’ and not Thou art the rock' was said to him. But 'the rock was Christ,' in confessing whom, as also the whole Church confesses, Simon was called Peter.” Jerome: “The one foundation which the apostolic architect laid is our Lord Jesus Christ. Upon this stable and firm foundation, which has itself been laid on solid ground, the Church of Christ is built .. for the Church was founded upon a rock ... upon this rock the Lord established his Church; and the apostle Peter received his name from this rock.... The rock is Christ, Who gave to His apostles, that they also should be called rocks, 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.” John Chrysostom: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church;' that is, on the faith of his confession.” Basil of Seluecia: “Now Christ called this confession a rock, and he named the one who confessed it 'Peter,' perceiving the appellation which was suitable to the author of this confession. For this is the solemn rock of religion, this the basis of salvation, this the wall of faith and the foundation of truth: 'For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.”

Let me put it this way. I'm an Ex-Catholic and Christian... there is so much to this 'story.'

@@DanHutchings-xx7ug Jesus is just a story line, like 'Romeo & Juliet.' One doesn't believe in them literally; they believe in the love they have for one another. The love is real, the story of them is made up by a man like the Jesus story.

@@JustReed you ever studied any history while you were in school about the Roman Empire or Alexander the Great or perhaps the Persians and Babylonians. How about any stories about the country of Israel in those history books? Then again maybe you did not go to school? Need to know these things before I can reply to your lack of knowledge if all you know is Romeo and Juliet.

@@DanHutchings-xx7ug 8 lines of nothing said. What are you trying to say? Did your ego get ruffled about... what?

[@DanHutchings-xx7ug]

@@JustReed Ego not ruffled one bit for if you studied any history that covered those time periods you would see in the Bible they were prophesized much of what occurred a long time before they happened. The Bible when it comes to history has, was and is spot on when we look at the past, seeing what is occurring even now and with it's batting average at 100% plus I am quite sure what is to happen. Only a blind man would argue with the facts found written thousands of years before they occurred or an uneducated person that knows nothing. That is why I asked your back ground so I know where I need to start educating you at.

Before the Roman Catholic Church it was just the Catholic Church. The Roman Church was established by the apostolate of Simon Peter whom Jesus declared the rock upon which he will build his church. The other apostles established churches throughout the world. I think that Mathew went to Africa, Thomas went to India, and Andrew went to eastern Europe and Asia. The churches established by the apostles developed their own traditions and liturgies but it was still one catholic church until the great schism 1,000 years later.

[@kiwihans100]

Mr. Wesley had a strong opinion that Constantine deeply corrupted the church. In his sermon “Of Former Times,” Mr. Wesley said, “Constantine’s calling himself a Christian, and pouring that flood of wealth and honour on the Christian Church, the Clergy in particular, was productive of more evil to the Church than all the ten persecutions put together.” As a result, he believed, from that time “the Church and State, the kingdoms of Christ and of the world, were so strangely and unnaturally blended together, Christianity and Heathenism were so thoroughly incorporated with each other, that they will hardly ever be divided till Christ comes to reign upon earth.”

[@vincentisaacvoces2553]

the Apostle Paul actually foretold when the catholic church will come into existence when he said; "I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."

[@goodgrieflouiser5807]

Well, that's exactly what Catholicism does. It distorts the truth.

I am a practicing Roman Catholic Christian. My personal belief from the study of the Bible remains firm that the Catholic (Universal) Church is based on Mt.16:13-18 and Jn.21:15-17. The actual functioning of the active church began on the day of PENTECOST immediately after the Holy Spirit ,(in the form of tongue of flame) fell on each Apostle as well as Mother Mary who were in that room. Peter immediately went out to boldly speak to the Jews gathered there from all over the world of those days. That very day after hearing Peter's first public speech, more than 3000 people accepted Jesus as their Reedemer and the Source of Eternal Life.

Nope. Not so. Peter was called a pope years later. Jesus Christ and on His teachings is the true church built. Not built on What your saying. Papacy is man made. Peter was no different then any of Jesus Christ followers. He was not perfect, actually he denied Jesus Christ 3X while the rooster sounded. My question is , is the modern pope without sin?

[@oldtimer794]

@@johnnygag1 Peter is the Anglicized version of Petros or Kephas, which was the title that Jesus gave him. Paul always referred to him as Kephas, not Simon, which was his given name. Just because he wasn't called "Pope" doesn't me that he wasn't performing the same tasks as the current pope does, which is to lead the church.

[@kimwestwood8840]

@@oldtimer794 The current pope endorses universalism which is not Christianity or the gospel. When Jesus said on this rock I will build my church , He was not calling Peter the rock. They were literally standing on rock which is believed to be a doorway to the underworld, hence " and the gates of hell will not prevail against it".. There is ONE Rock, the Rock of Ages , Ancient of days. Jesus is THE cornerstone of His church, The HEAD of the church , the BODY of Christ, NOT a religion. No man is head of the body of Christ. That is heresy and non biblical.
