And the Roman emperors were burning bibles long before the RCC was ever organized. The Church was "organized" when our Lord appeared to the apostles and told Peter to feed His sheep on Easter night.

But like the author says...It was a Jewish church with Jewish Christians...And there was no Catholic on the face of the earth...

The Church was "organized" when our Lord appeared to the apostles and told Peter to feed His sheep on Easter night.You, of course, mean The "day of preparation" for the Passover....don't you? [Matthew 27:62][Mark 15:42][Luke 23:54][John 19:31]
