“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

LLS

I presume you realize the two quotes appear to contradict each other.

The first indicates that the true Church will be that founded upon Peter. Presumably any other group of Christians is not included and is therefore a false church. (Discuss amongst yourselves which church is founded upon Peter.)

The second indicates that Christ is there where ANY group gathers in his name. This would therefore include ALL the groups discussed on this thread, including Mormons, JWs, Protestants, Disciples of Christ, Catholics, Orthodox, etc.
