Some Roman Catholics are fond of saying that Jesus asked Peter to establish His Church. So, what IS the Church of Jesus Christ? If we see that clearly, will it answer the questions raised over what the Roman Catholic Church makes claims, and over what various protestant denominations make claims? Perhaps ... let's find out.

In this post I'm not going to do the work for readers, because I would appreciate it if they went to the Bible they use and find the passages referred to. First, we notice that Jesus has come into the world to save sinners. When asked what work God demands to be righteous, Jesus replied 'This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom God has sent' for the job of saving sinners.

The Church of Jesus is the Body of Christ, referred to also as The Bride of Christ. This is a spiritual group and is beyond the identifying by which Apostle baptized you or in which city is your groups of believers present.

The Church of Jesus Christ is the population, the body of believers, the individual souls seen collectively yet still as individual members for The Kingdom of which Jesus spoke, saying 'My Kingdom is not of this world.'

That's part one. There's more, oh yes, there's more.
