Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the LIFE;
John 14:6... And His CHURCH is the PILLAR and the FOUNDATION of TRUTH -- 1 Timothy 3:15,
Christ the promised to be with His Catholic Church**
Jesus Said to Peter: "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY ONE HOLY,
CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH, and the GATES OF HELL shall NOT PREVAIL against it." Matthew 16:18,
...And behold, I am with you ALWAYS, to the END OF THE AGE. Matthew 28:20,
Therefore if Jesus Christ is the head of His Church, then His Church has to be the Church of Truth, just as He is Truth!
This is confirmed in 1Timothy 3:15, "...but in order that thou mayest know, if I am delayed, how to conduct thyself in
the House of GOD,
which is the Church of the living GOD, the pillar and mainstay of the Truth."
Now that we have the Church of Truth, headed by Truth Himself, then we have recourse to use that authority of Truth
without trepidation.
"...AND IF HE REFUSE TO HEAR THEM, APPEAL TO THE CHURCH, BUT IF HE REFUSE TO HEAR EVEN THE
CHURCH,
LET HIM BE TO THEE AS THE HEATHEN AND PUBLICAN."
Matthew 18:17
This must be true because He said it.
So Jesus Christ said those who refuse to hear His Church. let him be as a heathen (not Christian).
So now that we have the Church of Truth, how do we know it is still with us?
We know because Jesus Christ guaranteed it would be!
"...AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT."
Matthew 16:17
His Church will be defended from within and from without.
"...I AM WITH YOU ALL DAYS, EVEN UNTO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE WORLD."
Matthew 28:20
He will be with His Church every day in every century until the end of time.
"...AND I WILL ASK THE FATHER AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER ADVOCATE TO DWELL WITH YOU
FOREVER,
THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES HIM NOR
KNOWS HIM."
John 14:16-17
The Holy Spirit will be with His Church forever. Notice too that the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
These three verses are truth because He said them.
There is only one truth, and it is Jesus Christ.
He founded His one and only Church of Truth and He will be with it and defend it forever.
The Holy Spirit will dwell in His Church of Truth forever.
His Church is still with us today because He guaranteed it would be.
Now you can make your choice as to which Church is the Church which Jesus Christ founded.
The choices are few.
It has to be the one He founded in about 33 A.D., so it has been around for almost 2000 years.
Is it your Church?
Can you prove that it is with genuine historical documents?
