Did Jesus establish a church?
No
But HE did purchase from among men with His Blood and added them to His Body and also made them into Living Stones to be part of the House of God.

I cannot find anywhere in scripture where the color 'black' is associated with the death of Christ.
But we do see the color Red associated with His death = His Blood shed for us upon the Cross
The way i see it - RCC priests are dressed in black because they are in darkness
No

that explains a lot!!!!!!!
explain Matt 16:19 I will build my church!
The theif was Baptized with the baptism Jesus was baptized with.So when Jesus said to the thief on the cross that he would be in Paradise without being baptized, He was mistaken?
You asked 'a church' = answer is NO
My answer to you was House of God = His Body = HIS Church = not made with men's hands
Why do you go against the teachings of the Apostles Peter, Paul and John???
Amenhe took all our sins upon himself!
She’s his precious blood!
precious blood of Jesus, save us!
He
The theif was Baptized with the baptism Jesus was baptized with.
Note: this man, was already a disciple of Christ and born again before this moment. Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (nicknamed "Mormons") strive to follow Christ, all of our Lord & Savior. He speaks to all that seek Him, not restricted by anything.
DIY religion!
no baptism no church no priest required!
Mark 10Where in the Bible does it say that? It's not a good idea to add your own ideas to Scripture.
Having thoroughly studied & lived the faith, I'm gong to passionately disagree with you there. Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior, the foundation of whom I am- transformed from the old me to believe & alive. He is everything. Nothing here is "name only".He himself knew better, when everything changed for him.
The LDS is a Works salvation CULT, "Christian" in name only.

BINGO!!! All that's required is the Conviction of SIN by the Holy SPirit, and a person's repentance, calling on God in the FAITH that he gifts. (Eph 2:8,9) That ROME doesn't agree doesn't mean SPIT.
God's church is the Acts 2:38 church, which you are not part of.God does not reveal His truth in a vacuum!
God does not set His true adrift on a sea of spiritual anarchy!
God sets His truth in His church, in the possession of His apostles to safeguard, to ensure it is not added to, or taken away from, or changed in any way!
And to teach the same truth to all nations and all ages!
Verified by scripture:
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints!
2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!
(all scripture not 66 books alone)
Must be instructed in the faith:
Lk 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…
Jn 29:21-23 as the father sent me, so I send you. (Same mission, power, and authority to teach all nations)
Lk 10:16 He who hears you, (His apostles) hear me.
Jn 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Jn 8:32 You (the apostles) shall know the truth; and the truth shall make you free.
Jn 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(His apostles)
Did Christ found a church?
Absolutely!!! And ever since Calvary, it's been the Ground and Pillar of the TRUTH!!! I've been part of it as a Born Again Christian since 1963 when I was Conviced of my SIN by the Holy Spirit, and repented in FAITH (gifted by God) on a Wednesday night in Houston, TX.
not according to Christ lk 10:16
so you are the mediator of a personal covenant
Your own savior
