HOW MANY CHURCHES DID
JESUS CHRIST BUILD?
Allow the inspired
Scriptures to answer all of your religious questions
II Timothy 3:16, 17 – “All
Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be
competent, equipped for every good work.” (English Standard Version)
Matthew 16:18 - “And I also
say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My
church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (American Standard Version) Notice, Jesus said “church”, singular!
Notice that the church, the kingdom,
and the body are the same entity (study these words in your Bible)
Matthew 16:19 – “I will
give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind
(declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in
heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is
already loosed in heaven.” (Amplified Bible)
Mark 9:1 – “And He said
unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by,
who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come
with power.” (American Standard Version)
Colossians 1:13 – “who
delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love.” (American Standard Version)
I Thessalonians 2:12 –
“That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom
and glory.” (King James Version)
Ephesians 1:22, 23 –
“And He put everything under His feet and appointed Him as head over everything
for the church, which is His body, the fullness of the One who fills all
things in every way.” (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Notice that the Lord is only
the Saviour of His one body, His church, His kingdom
Ephesians 4:4 – “There
is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your
calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father
of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (King James Version)
Ephesians 5:23 – “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is
the head of the church: and He is the Saviour of the body” (King
James Version)
Notice how we get into the
one body, the one church, the one kingdom of Jesus Christ
I Corinthians 12:12, 13
– “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of
the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For in one Spirit
were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond
or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.” (American
Standard Version)
