There is not one single religion, tradition or denomination that has the right to call itself the one true church.

There is and only ever has been One True Church, and that is made up only of those who are Born Again believers from whatever church background, or none, worldwide, past present and future. Those who through the revelation of the Holy Spirit have seen Jesus for who he is, recognised what he did, turned from their sin and accepted him into their lives as Lord and Saviour. Anybody who hasn’t taken these steps towards him and made that commitment is not, in my view, part of the true Church. And in my experience many church-goers and even high ranking priests and clergy fall outside this criteria.
lets remind the all inclusive who claim all religoins serve the same GOD we do , about THIS .
cause NOT ALL RELIGOINS DO serve GOD . ONLY THOSE WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN HIS SON , JESUS THE CHRIST
serve GOD .
Muslims DO NOT serve the same GOD we do
not even unbelieving jews got a pass FROM JESUS . HE Told them , EVEN THOUGH THEY CRIED abraham is our father
GOD is our father , MOSES etc , He said YA pappy IS THE DEVIL .
SORRY folks but the born again DONT DENY JESUS AS THE CHRIST , only ANTI CHRIST DOES THAT
as do all other religoins . Time to buckle up and strap on all armour
cause i am telling us every denomination known to man has been invaded from within .
By a false love , a false gospel , a etc which will MERGE Them to become one right under the DEVIL not GOD .
IT IS BIBLE TIME .
IT IS TIME for the love one had at first , the faith one had at first
when it was all ABOUT HONORING HE WHO SAVED US , PUTTING HIM , HIS WORDS , FIRST .
many have lost that sister . many . its not longer about GOD , its about feelings and humanity .
HOW can i have my best life now , how can GOD serve ME
Rather than SERVING GOD who saved us . making GOD , HIS CHRIST , HIS TRUTH the apple of our eye
THEY have made the flesh and a sin serving god the apple of thier eye . we are in serious trouble .
I desire not the death of one soul , not even those who rage agaisnt me . But man the more i love
the more i be hated . this is a fact .

Hear, hear! Apostolic Succession! The origin church either perpetuated for 2000 years or it didn't! Any branch cut from a dead tree is also dead. The Bible never disbanded the priests, bishops or the Apostles, unless one is a Restorationist and claim to have restored the Apostleship, Protestants do not resemble the Apostolic Church at all.
Peter would have exposed the rcc and its version of peter as it made its popes something peter never was . THIS is a fact .
The very first denomiation to stray from the original church was THE RCC and man the prostants be in trouble too .
BIBLE TIME FOLKS . time to learn for ourselves what these men either twist or omit to create their own doctrines by which they
worship GOD in vain .
Cornleious tried to kneel before peter . I seem to notice peter did not say
HOLD UP , let me sit in a chair as you kiss my ring .
THE folks should have learned CHRIST for themselves cause men have done a sorry job of it .
beware of those who love to dress up , to make broad their clothes , WHO LOVE FLATTERING TITLES
you know such as MOST HOLY FATHER oR MOST HOLY REVERAND and huge ROBES and huge hats
and rings on fingers as men kneel before them . SOMETHING peter EVEN REBUKED cornleius for trying to do
BIBLE TIME folks and dont heed men who say you cannot learn it for yourselves eithier .

But if the Catholic churches were in apostasy for 800 years or more, how are Protestants not apostates along with them? If the Roman Catholic Church doesn't have authority, Protestants certainly cannot claim authority inherited from them. The Catholics at least have the chutzpah to make an authority claim, while Protestants claim no unique authority, they are institutions of uninspired men. Notice how Protestant "apologetics" confuse defense with all offense, all the time, putting down everything, while providing nothing to replace it. A lesser faith, one whose only claim to be correct is by how not correct Catholics, Muslims and Mormons are, and assume they are the last bastion of truth. It's the thing they never understood, even if you're right about them, you are not the default religion. Making a bold truth claim should be front and center, don't settle for less. It's the one true church or nothing.

Well, the "one true church" does not teach people to study God's Word for themselves.

Instead they require them to adhere to the catechism (indoctrination) of the "one true church" as they are desperate to control the minds of their adherents.

I know some people that belong to the "one true church" and they have no the Spirit of the Lord... they got that mary thing tho as they pray the unbiblical rosary that worships mary
When you grow up and stop talking about us Catholics as if we were a bunch of brain dead morons, I'll take you off my ignore list. I suggest you tell your doctor what you think about the Catholic Church, he has medications that can help you.

I thank the Lord that he has led us to make progress along the path of unity and communion between Christians, a path difficult but so full of joy. Interconfessional dialogues at the theological level have produced positive and tangible results: this encourages us to move forward.

Nevertheless, besides the doctrinal differences needing to be resolved, Christians cannot underestimate the burden of long-standing misgivings inherited from the past, and of mutual misunderstandings and prejudices. Complacency, indifference and insufficient knowledge of one another often make this situation worse. Consequently, the commitment to ecumenism must be based upon the conversion of hearts and upon prayer, which will also lead to the necessary purification of past memories.

With the grace of the Holy Spirit, the Lord's disciples, inspired by love, by the power of the truth and by a sincere desire for mutual forgiveness and reconciliation, are called to re-examine together their painful past and the hurt which that past regrettably continues to provoke even today. All together, they are invited by the ever fresh power of the Gospel to acknowledge with sincere and total objectivity the mistakes made and the contingent factors at work at the origins of their deplorable divisions. What is needed is a calm, clear-sighted and truthful vision of things, a vision enlivened by divine mercy and capable of freeing people's minds and of inspiring in everyone a renewed willingness, precisely with a view to proclaiming the Gospel to the men and women of every people and nation.

“I believe in God, not in a Catholic God. There is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation, “Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being. Do you think we are very far apart?”

God's Church is called God's Church, not man's church.
It doesn't belong to anyone or any denomination.
Many are called from all kinds of walks of life. God is not limited to a particular group of people.
Jesus chose fishermen, tax collectors, even men of war . He chose a murderer, twice, to lead his people.
Moses and Paul.
God's church originated in Israel. But Israel got careless and lost the keys to the Kingdom.
From out of that Babylon Jesus chose 12 different men from different backgrounds, different livlihoods, different personalities.
From those 12 rose a new and improved church. This Church belongs to Jesus and Jesus alone.
Over time that church got careless and another group broke out in protest and called themselves protestants.
But even now the protesters are being protested against because they too are becoming careless.

You won't find God's Church in a denomination. Because they are again being called out of Babylon from all walks of life.
No one has the monopoly on God's Church. He owns ALL the property.

You realize today's churches are no different than today's politics.
They all want the power or the votes of the people.
They want to control you and tell you what it is that God has intended for your life. Even though they know not themselves what is intended for theirs.

As long as you follow you are in the "group" . But most times the group goes astray and God calls his sheep back one by one.
God's Church is unique. It's not like any earthly church. It is made up of the Spirit of God.
And those that are in it, follow him in Spirit and in Truth.

Most churches eyes are glossed over with mundane rituals and religiosity that they can't see the Spirit through the carnal.
A lot of churches have no Spirit in them at all.
Because it's not the church that has God's Spirit in it, but rather the people who make up God's Church that have His Spirit in them.

And this is what God's Church looks like:

Mat 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

It's not a building or a religion or a denomination. It's the people.
The only True Church.

Hugs

If you believe what Christians have believed and have taught in all generations, then you're built upon the Apostles. But if you're particular faith..what you think is so important to say, is something that only began to be said in 500 AD or in 1000 AD or in 1500 AD or in 1959 AD..whatever you're in, as good as it might be, is inadequate and is something less than the church of Christ. It isn't Apostolic. There is one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and that church has been teaching the gospel and preaching the Christian faith for 2000 years. It is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is Orthodox, but not Jewish. It is Catholic, but not Roman. It is not non-denominational, it is pre-denominational. It has been believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for. It is the Faith that has established the universe. Proclaiming the Truth since 34 AD. The Church began on the day of Pentecost after Christ's resurrection.
Sounds fantastic, sign me up. I want to join that Church too, but my search for it has yielded ZERO results. All the Apostles are dead and their Church model died with them. As soon as they died, the denominational schisms began and continue to this day.

I've never heard of an Apostolic Church, every Church building has a brand name on it. I haven't found one, with "Apostolic Church". There are 45,000 different denominations in 2024 and the number is set to grow, each of them claim to be a "true Church".

How do I know which of one the 45,000 denominations is the Apostolic one. It's not good enough to suggest that such a Church exists, and then leave us hanging in suspense. It would be very helpful if you could let us know where we can find such a Church. I'm sure many of us would jump at the opportunity to join such a Church if it actually existed.

Please allow me to correct you, "God the Father, Abba" is not the creator. Jesus is the One who created everything that exists, and He is the One who sustains the whole of creation. He is the One who gives you your next breath.

I'm not sure who told you that the Father created something, but it's not true so beware who you listen to

Old Testament
Genesis 1:26-27 - "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

Genesis 2:2-3 - "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."

Nehemiah 9:6 - "You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."

Job 38:4-7 - "Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"

Psalm 19:1-4 - "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."

Psalm 33:6 - "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth."

Psalm 90:2 - "Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."

Psalm 104:24-25 - "How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number—living things both large and small."

Isaiah 42:5 - "This is what God the Lord says—the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it."

Isaiah 45:12 - "It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts."

Jeremiah 10:12 - "But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding."

Jeremiah 32:17 - "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

New Testament
John 1:1-3 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."

Acts 17:24-25 - "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else."

Romans 1:20 - "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Colossians 1:16 - "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."

Hebrews 1:10 - "He also says, 'In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.'"

Revelation 4:11 - "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."

These verses collectively affirm the consistent biblical teaching that God is the Creator of all things, reflecting His power, wisdom, and sovereign authority over the universe.

Guess you are wrong.

Because , GOD Himself has always had a church . those who would not bend the knee to the falsehoods
but rather served God , followed Christ . It still exists today . They are scattered here and there .
They still meet , they still pray , they stay dug in the scriptures and they TEST all men .
They dont just blindly sit under men who make claims , THEY TEST men .
Let GOD be TRUE but every man a liar . YOU test men and do so against the TRUTH of the words of GOD
which HE inspired through the prophets , THROUGH and IN THE SON , and later the apostels left us in letters .
You do realize what you , the jw , the mormon , and scores of others within the protestant realm
have in common . YOU ALL sit under men who CLAIM ours is the church
and YET you cannot discern the false precepts of men amongst such places .
We really do NEED to get back into the bible for ourselves .
Folks act like men cannot come within and infiltrate places and decieve . OH BUT YES THEY CAN and many have and many do .

I am sure you will try and next use the line about the RCC having the inspired scrips .
Well they did . they did .
But so did the jews have torah and they too had recopied it faithfully
and yet many of them leaders GOD was not well pleased with at all .
They omitted things and taught for doctrine the precepts of men .
Just like the RCC did too my friend .
SO just because it might have had the holy inspired canon
SURE dont mean GOD was well pleased with it .
Just means HE kept HIS WORD being copied . just like with the jews .
And now i suggest we get ourselves back into That BIBLE and do us some learning for ourselves .

I nearly fell back when i read what that other person wrote .
THAT GOD the FATHER was not the creator but that JESUS was .
HOW did GOD create . HE SPOKE . JESUS IS THE WORD , HE IS the essence of the Father .
THUS GOD IS THE CREATOR and by speaking , aka BY THE WORD he did create all that was and is .
This other person really does not have a grasp on that subject at all.
But i am happy to see you brought some scrips my friend to help this other one . Lets just pray HE takes Heed to it .

In the beginning was THE WORD and the WORD was with GOD
by him were all things made my friend .
And GOD was the WORD .
And the WORD became flesh . itsnt that just lovely . I stick to a saying .
Its called this , LET GOD be TRUE but every man a liar . HIS WORDS are TRUE and its HIS WORDS
this lamb be BELIEVING and by HIS WORDS i shall test all men . Now hands up johann
its time for a praise fest to the glorious LORD .

Sounds fantastic, sign me up. I want to join that Church too, but my search for it has yielded ZERO results. All the Apostles are dead and their Church model died with them. As soon as they died, the denominational schisms began and continue to this day.

I've never heard of an Apostolic Church, every Church building has a brand name on it. I haven't found one, with "Apostolic Church". There are 45,000 different denominations in 2024 and the number is set to grow, each of them claim to be a "true Church".

How do I know which of one the 45,000 denominations is the Apostolic one. It's not good enough to suggest that such a Church exists, and then leave us hanging in suspense. It would be very helpful if you could let us know where we can find such a Church. I'm sure many of us would jump at the opportunity to join such a Church if it actually existed.
Their are gone but their words and the pattern they left to us , Lives on .
The same church pattern they kept is the same one the lambs keep .
The problem is MOST DONT KEEP . rather they have omitted certain things which WOULD have kept a peoples
a church safe and healthy . NAMELY CORRECTION . that went bye bye
and MAINLY BIBLCIAL DOCTRINE to be taught as that too has went BYE BYE .
As far as the many denominations , that be thier problem .
WHO is paul , who is appollos , but men . Leaders YES , instructors YES
but notice paul sure didnt like having men trying to divide out by different teachers .
WHO is man that men should call themselves after his names .
We supposed to be christain , we supposed to love TRUTH and there is PLENTY of TRUTH in said BIBLE
we should have been reading and loving FOR OURSELVES .
LET GOD be TRUE but every man a liar . HIS WORDS are TRUTH as HE IS TRUTH
and HIS INSPIRED HOLY WORDS are all over that BIBLE that so many seem to at most
TWIST and omit much of it . but do so unto their own destruction my friend .
WE should have loved EVERY WORD of the LORD
and if we have the LOVE OF GOD in US then CHARITY REJOICES IN TRUTH , it dont twist and omit TRUTH .

I nearly fell back when i read what that other person wrote .
THAT GOD the FATHER was not the creator but that JESUS was .
HOW did GOD create . HE SPOKE . JESUS IS THE WORD , HE IS the essence of the Father .
THUS GOD IS THE CREATOR and by speaking , aka BY THE WORD he did create all that was and is .
This other person really does not have a grasp on that subject at all.
But i am happy to see you brought some scrips my friend to help this other one . Lets just pray HE takes Heed to it .
I only correct the statement with Scriptures @amigo de christo and like you've said--to assist.
God bless
J.

Nice sentiments amigo, but I still haven't found an Apostolic Church in any of that. It only seems to exist in our imagination.

I believe the reason the Apostolic Church no longer exists, is because the Apostles were given special revelation and special powers by Jesus Himself. Remember, they were given authority over Demons. Nobody was ever given such powers after them, the world never saw anyone with their gifts again.

What we have today is, people who lack faith and they lack zeal for God. We are nowhere near as faithful as the Apostles were, so we can't expect to find a faithful Church, because we are not as faithful as we should be.

Most Christians claim to be a true born again believers, but like Peter they are quick to deny the Lord as soon as they are confronted with persecution. Most Christians are happy to be Christians, as long as it doesn't cost them anything and Church Ministers are the same. They like to receive money but they don't defend the gospel if it means trouble for them.

Because , GOD Himself has always had a church . those who would not bend the knee to the falsehoods
but rather served God , followed Christ . It still exists today . They are scattered here and there .
Rom 11:4
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
