Roman Catholic Church: The Church Developed By Christ?

The Roman Catholic Church in her effort to confirm of its being truth Church developed by Christ utilize the statement of Christ as taped in Matthew 16:18 as proof of its presence. Based upon the stated knowledgeable, Catholic Authorities teach its members that Christ built the Roman Catholic Church on Peter as the foundation of it as well as making Peter and also its successors - the Popes, the Head of the Church.

The Matthew 16:18 states:

18And I inform you that you are Peter, [a] and on this rock I will certainly build my church, and also the gates of Hades [b] will certainly not conquer it. [c] (Matthew 16:18, NIV).
Nonetheless, by simply examining the verse we will certainly notice that it was not stated by Christ that He built the Roman Catholic Church, since just what Christ constructed was His very own Church not a Roman Church nor a Roman Catholic Church.
And if this Church is really the Roman Catholic Church in which its members are called Catholics, then Apostle Paul need to state on his greetings in Roman 16:16, "All Catholics greet You". However Apostle Paul really did not state that rather he claimed, "The churches of Christ greet you", that is due to the fact that the members that he were referring to are participants of the Church of Christ.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The [a] churches of Christ welcome you. (Romans 16:16, NKJV).
Second of all, Catholic authorities declare that the Roman Catholic Church was constructed or started by Christ on Peter as its structure. Once again, if we will take a look at the Holy Scriptures, we will certainly find out that the true Church founded by Christ was not built on Peter yet on Christ Himself.
When Christ stated, "and on this rock I will certainly build my church", the rock mentioned by Christ right here is not Peter yet Christ Himself. That's the reason why Apostle Paul suggested his brethren in real Church of Christ, as it was specified on the Colossians 2:6 -7.

6 As you therefore have obtained Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and developed in Him and also established in the faith, as you have actually been shown, being plentiful in it [a] with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6 -7, ibid).
Let us not fail to remember that Christ is the foundation, not Peter.
20built on the foundation of the apostles and also prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the principal keystone. (Ephesians 2:20).
It is true that Peter means rock, nevertheless he was not the foundation stone due to the fact that it is Christ who is the foundation rock. And also Peter is simply among the stones that depended on top of Christ.
Lastly, according to the Catholic authorities, Peter (and his successors, the Popes) was made by Christ the head of the Church. This teaching is clearly incorrect based upon the truth composed on the Holy bible, since truth Church of Christ is headed by Christ Himself. Learn more about it by following Catholic App by Ryan Bilodeau.

18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning as well as the firstborn from amongst the dead, to ensure that in whatever he might have the preeminence. (Colosians 1:18, NIV).
Also if Christ is already in heaven and also seatsed at the right-hand man of God (Colosians 3:1, NIV) nonetheless, he really did not assign anyone to change Him being the head of the Church due to the fact that inning accordance with Apostle Paul, "He proceeds forever".
24 But He, due to the fact that He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. (Hebrews 7:24, NKJV).
Place it in your mind, Christ was the Head of His Church when He was still below in the world, and also He is still the head of the Church forever, because inning accordance with Apostle Paul, "Christ is the same the other day, today and also forever".
8 Jesus Christ is the same the other day, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV).
As a result, those cases and teachings of the Catholic Authorities are incorrect claimsand mentors, because they are not sustained by the reality created on the Holy Scriptures. Any type of churches that will certainly claim to be truth Church of Christ, have to reveal proofs from the Scriptures that will certainly support their cases because the Holy bible is the only paper that witness the existence of real Church started by Christ on the first century. They must also demonstrate from Christ Himself as well as from the Apostles, and most of all from God.
