Who founded your church?
Who founded your church?
Here are some of the top church planters:
The Lutheran Church was founded by Martin Luther, a former Catholic monk, in the year 1524.
The Anglican church was founded by Henry VIII in 1534 because the Pope did not grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn.
The Presbyterian Church was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560.
The Episcopal Church is a branch of the Church of England founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in 1785.
Charles Taze Russell started the Jehovah’s Witnesses church in Pennsylvania in 1879.
The Methodist religion was organized by J. & C. Wesley in England, in 1739, when he decided to separate from the Anglicans.
Joseph Smith started the Mormon group (Latter Day Saints), in Palmyra, NY in 1830.
The origins of the Baptist church date back to the year 1609, when John Smith founded this religion.
Theophilus Lindley founded the Unitarian Church in London in 1774.
The Seventh-day Adventist movement was created by William Miller, an American Baptist farmer. The church was later organized around 1860.
The Salvation Army is an evangelical church created by William Booth in London in 1865.
The Christian Science religion dates back to 1879 when Maria Baker Eddy decided we needed a new religion.
The Pentecostal Church or Assemblies of God began around 1914 in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost, in the year 33, in Galilee. Read: Matthew 16,18-19 and Acts 2.
Yes, the CATHOLIC CHURCH is the only one founded by JESUS on the Apostle Peter, and that will last until the end of the world. The only one that is 2000 years old. The only one that has the fullness of the means of salvation left by Jesus Christ.
Jesus did not delegate or authorize anyone other than Peter to be the foundation stone of his Church. Therefore, all the founders of churches that appeared later, contravene the express will of Jesus.
Jesus told Peter: “And now I tell you that you are Peter – that is, Stone – and on this rock I will build my Church and the powers of hell will not be able to defeat it” (Mt. 16, 18). And Peter today is represented by the Pope, Pastor of the universal Church.
Jesus said: «I will be with you every day until the end of the world» Mt. 28, 20 And this presence of Jesus has been maintained and kept until today in all its integrity only in the Catholic Church, since it is the only one that It has lasted without interruption from its foundation to the present day. It is the only one that has been the object of this presence of Jesus from his origin until today.
The Catholic Church has two thousand years of history, two thousand years of life, two thousand years with the presence of Jesus in our midst. What other Church can do the same?
Blessed be God, who in his infinite goodness, has called us to be part of the Catholic Church, the only one wanted and founded by Jesus, the only one that contains the fullness of the means of salvation left by Jesus Christ.
