No one gave anyone the authority to found another Church apart from the one Christ founded and with which He identifies as one. Either we are obedient to Christ or we want to be our own Pope, appointed by ourselves.
Recall in Gen. 3:5, when the serpent (Satan) told Eve, "God knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and
you will be like gods, who know
* good and evil.” So many today want to be their own god, doing whatever they want to do rather than what God wants them to do.
Don't limit God. He can give life to the dead. He can start a new congregation, even a denomination, and better still, a movement of Spirit filled God led born again converts to righteousness with earnest and loving hearts toward lost sinners, and having a yearning for the gospel to be taught throughout the world, changing lives and building the kingdom of God. He doesn't need you or me, your church or mine. He can do that from rocks.
But in His grace and mercy, He has chosen individuals to share the last message of mercy to mankind before He comes to take His people home. Those individuals He has brought together, and are the only true
global Christian church teaching the truth. They are called Seventh Day Adventists. That doesn't mean there aren't true Christians belonging to other denominations, not excluding your own. But there is only one that has a truly prophetic message, presenting the pure gospel of grace by faith, righteousness by faith, and presenting unarguable evidence from scripture that the Lord Jesus Christ, presently ministering in the heavenly sanctuary as our High Priest, is soon to return. Before then however, is a crisis. A clash of minds. On the one hand is a movement trusting in Christ and Him alone to build His kingdom. On the other hand, there are genuine sincere Christians who are seeking to accomplish the establishment of righteousness in the world using politics and worldly power. There are yet many in the middle, undecided, perhaps not sure of where to take their stand, but who must be informed before it's too late. Because in the end, there are only two sides. Babylon the Great with her adulterous relationship with the kings of the earth, and her most hated enemy, the other woman of Revelation 12, God's people, spiritual Israel, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy.
Yes. God does have a one true church. But the one centered in Rome is not as old as you would like to believe. There are older churches than the RCC. The Assyrian church of the East, founded by missionaries from Antioch and Syria, before Peter or Paul went to Rome. The Celtic church of northern Italy, southern France, and Britain, founded by Celtic missionaries that were converted by Paul and Barnabas and friends in Galatia. Those churches, which in turn gave rise to the Albigenses and the Waldenses, were truly Apostolic. The early Roman church was also Apostolic. But in the 6th century, adopted politics as the means by which to spread its doctrines around the world. Through that act of treachery, became divorced from Christ, and became Antichrist.
Today, sadly, we witness the Protestant churches in America doing that same thing, adopting politics, fornicating with the kings of this world, creating an image to the medieval papacy.
And the only true globally protesting church to these acts of apostasy and treachery is the Seventh Day Adventist church. It is now time to come out of Babylon. That ancient persecuting power is doomed and destined to destruction. She may claim to be God's church, that she is no widow, and has power and authority over all the kings of the earth, but God says,
"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. ”
Revelation 18:4 KJV
