Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ built his Church in 33A.D.
Jesus Church is still in existence today.
Jesus Church proudly wears his name and is called the
"Church of Christ"
Gods word tells us in (Eph 4:5) that there is only:
One Lord One Faith and One Baptism.
If you browse through your local phone book under "Churches" you will find many Faiths.
However The Bible tells us that there is only "One Faith"
Jesus himself said that he would build (A) Church, he did not say "Churches"
Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 Upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus said "My" Church, the word "My" denotes only "One" of something, in Jesus sentence.
The Bible also teaches us that there is only
One body, the body is the Church. Colossians 1:18:And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
The Bible continually refers to the word
ONE when it talks about the Church the ONE body.I Cor 12:12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.I COR 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
I Cor 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
One body = One Church
The Bible tells us who the Church is by:
Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the Church (By Christ Jesus) throughout all ages, world without end Amen.The Bible tells us the name of the Church
Rom 16:16"Church of Christ"
The Bible tells us how Jesus cares for his Church:
Eph 5:29
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:The Bible tells us this is a great mystery, Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
