What do you think is the true church that Jesus established?

Besides answering the question, explain why this is the true churchWhat do you think is the true church that Jesus established?
News Flash! Jesus did not establish any church. He was a practicing Jew. Christianity developed after his death.What do you think is the true church that Jesus established?
There have always been followers of God's true Church





After Constantine usurped power of the Christian church and corrupted it


The persecutions of these TRUE Christians began.





There is a good book that records the true history on the Christian church - it is:





';';The Great Controversy'; by E G White





May God bless you as you read it

The word church literally means ';called out assembly,'; so the church consists of people who have been called out of this world.


The church is not an organization, but rather an ORGANISM. That is, it's a living body of believers. Anyone who has been saved by receiving Christ as Savior is a member of the church, for the church is made up of all true believers in Christ. A person's denominational membership is in no way connected with his membership in the body of Christ. Those who have truly received Christ are members of His church, regardless of what any denomination believes or says (Jhn. 1:12; Acts 16:31; Jhn. 5:24; Mat. 11:28; Rom. 10:13. etc.).





Beware of anyone who speaks of THEIR church as being the ';true church,'; because the true church is a SPIRITUAL BODY OF BELIEVERS IN CHRIST, not an organized group of religious people. The Bible will sometimes use the term ';church'; when referring to local assemblies of Christians (Rom. 16:5; I Cor. 1:2; I Ths. 1:1; Phi. 2), but the term is never a reference to any denomination or any building.
Atheist church is the true church because we do not judge others and condemn other people nor do we ever run them out of our churches, yes come join the atheist church we are kind and we accept others for


who they are you can be whatever you are and who you are we have


no problem accepting others like the christians do
FYI for ';The Apostle.';





The Bible was roughly finalized two hundred years after Yeshua died. He said (supposedly) that those who believe in him, not those who believe in the Bible, will have everlasting life. Bibleolatry is not the same thing as Christianity. You are worshipping a book that no apostle ever saw and certainly none ever thought they should place their faith in a book.
Christ was not really establishing any Church at all because in his eschatological worldview the coming of God's good Kingdom was imminent in his generation. Of course it didn't happen, and billions of people still expect to see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in glory, which of course also will never happen. Now give me my thumbs down, if you wish
It is referred to as ';the small flock';








It is made up of those in whom God has called, convicted of sin, brought to repentance, filled with his Spirit, and sealed.





Do you want the specific number? 144,000.





That's the small flock. Those who God has enabled by the power of his Spirit to keep the Commandments.








P.S. - I am not a Jehovah Witness.
The true ';church'; is the one that follows what Jesus taught. It is based on the Bible and uses it as their basis for truth. If any of mans laws are added to it, it is not acceptable. A home bible study would be great for you and then you can make an informed decision on which one is the true ';Church';.
there is only one church and it is the body of Christ, denominations are usually man made for varius reasons some are right to have done so others are in error, but the true church is comprised of all true believers in Jesus no matter what their denomination
The Holy Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches





Matthew 16:18-19





';And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.';

If you link the timeline you will see that Peter did as Jesus instructed, he went to Rome and built the church. Peter was our first pope and there has been an unbroken line since then.





The Greek and Eastern Orthodox Churches also trace all the way back to the apostles.





I am simply speaking historical fact -- not attacking other christian doctrines or beliefs.
There is no denomination that can describe what Jesus started....


He wants Bible believing, Christ followers.
The true Church are the PEOPLE who trust Christ for Salvation.
