No one has said the ROMAN catholic church was in the 1st century. The early church was made up of "Christians". But certainly NOT Roman catholicism as a matter of fact the term "catholic" did not come into use till the 1500's.

You haha'd my previous post. No non-rc in this forum, ever claimed the church was pristine and without error. Nor did any non-rc ever claim the ROMAN catholic church existed before or during the apostle's lifetimes. Your wanting to claim, that during the life time of the apostles, a different church was in existence along side of the roman catholic church. And that is NOT so.
The teaching of error was NOT fully extradited from the church, but more was added to those errors over the centuries. constantine, started the beginning of the imperial roman church, and the church took on imperial rome's beliefs and behaviors, instead of the church being an influence, it allowed paganism to influence the church.
On the day of Pentecost, those who believed the gospel message, were called "believers". Acts 9 is the first mention of believer's belonging to "the way". "The way" is mentioned again in Acts chapter 19, Acts chapter 22, Acts chapter 24, in connection with those who believed the gospel message. The early followers of Christ referred to themselves as followers of "the Way" because of Jesus’ statement in John 14:6 that He is “the way and the truth and the life.” In Acts 11 the believers in Antioch, spoke so much about Christ, that the people living in Antioch, began calling believer's "Christians". By Acts 26, the title "Christian" was well known throughout the Roman world
There is absolutely no mention in Scripture about early believers being called Roman catholics.

ok to tell Catholics they weren't the first church but give no evidence.... GOT IT
And you haven't been able to prove that the early church was called "roman catholic" If it was true, you would provide evidence. Your institution is known for falsifying documentation. Scripture however points to the early believers being called and known as "Christians"...

You sure do a lot of deflecting in conversations. And Theo is right when he says the rcc's belief's are indefensible. And your deflection's and haha's are proof of what Theo is saying.

Scripture shows that the congregation of believers were not error free. And many of the early errors were never fully extradited. As a matter of fact, Scripture warns about false teachings being introduced.... not from the outside... but from the inside and to be alert and on guard. John was an old man when he penned Revelation. The first 3 chapters we read of the church being rebuked by Jesus Christ, Himself... for not only allowing error to be taught, but wallowing in error. The early church wasn't doing anything about the errors. Hence, the scathing rebuke.
Your institution teaches that everyone is to put their faith in the roman catholic church rituals. Big, Big... mistake.
Scripture, however points us to putting faith in Jesus from beginning to finish. Rc's have been quick to tell me that putting faith in Jesus is wrong.
Your institution is not the "true" church. If it was, it would preach the Biblical gospel message. Instead of "were number one, rah, rah, rah" like a bunch of high school cheerleaders. Your institution is phony as can be. Rc's prove this by what they post. And how they act.
No one who knows Jesus personally, ever directs people to put their faith in an institution. They always point people to Christ for salvation, like God commanded us to.

No where in Scripture does it ever teach anyone to put faith in any institution. Scripture points to Jesus.
