Sure there were....Peter was the Pope (titular head of the new church)...Mass was insstituted at the Last Supper....All 7 Sacraments had been instituted by Christ...Holy water is a sacramental and I don't know how it came to be..(irrelevant)....The Assumption and Immaculate Conception, while being facts, had not yet been declared as Dogma but with the assurance of Christ that in such matters they could not err, the Church formally declared them to be part of scripture.
I’ll say one thing is for sure. You are a believer in the Roman Catholic Church.
Please show me where HE instituted them in the scriptures
Holy water is a sacramental and I don't know how it came to be..(irrelevant).
Not found in the NT church.. guess they did not see the need to exorcise water
...The Assumption and Immaculate Conception, while being facts, had not yet been declared as Dogma but with the assurance of Christ that in such matters they could not err, the Church formally declared them to be part of scripture.
..Really ??? could you show me just where Rome inserted it into scripture ??
The NT church had no priests.. The OT priesthood was a TYPE of Christ.. just as the lamb sacrificed was a type of Christ
Jesus FULFILLED both types on the cross.. both priest and sacrifice.. To seal that type God destroyed the Jewish priesthood in 70 AD
No the Church of Christ in the NT had no priests, no mass ,no statues , no 7 sacraments ... it looked more like my church than like Rome
