As a good leader Peter never bestows upon himself any accolades, but Jesus did.

So according to you the Catholic Church has it all wrong.

So lets see, Jesus came to earth as the son of God to establish his church on earth through the 12 apostles whom he gave authority to and to their disciples whom they would teach and train to take over after them. Jesus also said that the gates of hell would never prevail against his church.

The Apostles went to the far corners of the earth not able to communicate with each other for years at a time and established churches that are remarkably the same in russia , china, india ireland, europe and africa. they did this with the guidance of the holy spirit. Try whispering a sentence in someones ear and in turn they tell the next person, by the time it goes around 10 times the story is much different. Only the holy spirit could have kept all those churches being established the same. That church my friend is the Catholic Church which has existed since the time of jesus and has lasted till this day because he promised hell would not prevail.

1500 years later some catholic priest named Martin Luther didnt like the way the church authority was handling things and protested.

So to justify the protestant belief about the catholic church, you have to believe that Jesus waited 1500 years to start his church. Of course the bible mentions Martin Luther how many times?

Ask yourself is God a God of order or chaos?
Did Jesus want his church to be of one mind and beliefs?(Catholic=Universal, Greek)
Did Jesus leave the Apostles in charge with authority?
If so then who took over after the apostles died?
The Catholic church can give you the line of authority that followed the apostles up to today. Can You?
The Catholic Church also canonized the bible. the book you base your faith on. Do you think the Catholic church would put together a book that disagreed with their teachings?
