Are Catholics Christians?

are Catholics Christian?Many people exploring Christianity often wonder what is the difference between all the different Churches and sometimes ask, Are Catholics Christians? Excuse us, but the Catholic Church is the only true Christian Church. It wasn’t just generic Christians being eaten by lions in Rome; it was Catholics. Period. Catholic means universal it is not a denomination it is the Church founded by Christ himself. Since universal power belongs to the risen Jesus (Mt 28:18), he gives the eleven a mission that is universal. They are to make disciples of all nations.

Go, therefore,- and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. — Matthew 28:19
Many people claim that the Catholic Church might have been the first Church but that it erred at some time. Following scripture though we see that that would be impossible. Reading the next line in Matthew we see by the passage in Matthew that Christ also promised his Church would exist till the end.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age. —Matthew 28:20
The apostles did of course what Christ instructed them to and all died as martyrs to spread the Gospel. It would have been unfathomable to have hundreds of different Churches. In fact, part of the mission of the apostles was to correct the Churches that were not teaching properly.

“So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.” —Acts 16:5

All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics, thanks largely to excommunicated priest Martin Luther. Luther claimed to reform the Church but in reality, he started a revolution that has resulted in a new Christian denomination starting each day.

Now, what occasions this little correction? A recent event in which the headline reporting said: “Ecumenical Event Unites Christians and Catholics.” Please.

The Catholic Church corrupts scripture, has false prophets, and isn't Christian.

  1. Matt. 16:18 – The “rock” on which Jesus built His church is not Peter, but it is the truth that Jesus is the Son of God (v13-17). In this context, Jesus is not confessing and exalting Peter; rather, Peter is confessing and exalting Jesus! The “rock” on which the church is built (Greek PETRA) is a solid ledge of stone. It is not the same as Peter (Greek PETROS, a stone), but is contrasted to Him. This agrees with I Cor. 3:11 and other verses listed above, which show Jesus is the foundation of the church.

  2. How can they be when the pray to Mary? That is abomination.

    Christ sacrificed himself once, forever-Hebrews 10:12, so we don’t need anyone else’s forgiveness, especially the head of the world’s largest child molestation ring.
