QUESTION: As a Catholic, I would like to know about the church from a
Protestant point of view. Did Jesus really establish the church through His
apostles?
ANSWER: The question implies that the church of Christ is a Protestant
denomination. This is not so! The church of the Bible is neither Protestant,
Catholic, nor Jewish. The church of the Bible is called the church(es) of Christ
(Romans 16:16) and is made up only of Christia nothing less! All other names and classifications are of men and not of God! The
Bible teaches that the one and only head of the church is Jesus Christ
(Ephesians 1:22). It does not make provisions for two heads over the one body
(church), i.e., an earthly head and a heavenly head, as claimed by the Catholic
Church! Each congregation of the Lord’s church is biblically shown to be selfruling
and overseen by a plurality of elders (I Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; Hebrews
13:7 & 17), with each congregation being independent of all other congregations
(I Peter 5:1-2). By this we can be sure that there is no higher governing body on
this earth! Deacons also are to serve the congregation under the oversight of the
elders (I Timothy 3:8-13). Evangelists are to proclaim the Word (II Timothy 4:1-5).
Any religious group without this scriptural organizational structure is of man, not
of God!
It is absolutely true that Christ established His church (not Catholicism or
Protestantism) through the apostles as they were directed through the Holy
Spirit. Please read carefully Acts chapter two, an account of the birthday of
Christ’s church!ns (Acts 11:26);
