Early History of the RCC

Lord Jesus Christ is the Founding Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Because it is implied in the Bible. The Bible talks of a Bishop and Deacons. When Jesus retired because of family, he appointed Simon Peter as the new Lord. Jesus remains as an adviser for the Church.

Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 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. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

So people are wondering, if this is the Church of Jesus, why didn't he name it after his own name? Why choose Roman Catholic Church? See the underlined verse above. THE DISCIPLES SHOULD TELL NO MAN THAT HE WAS JESUS THE CHRIST. Understand now people? There is a need for secrecy and my opinion is that there is hostility between Church and State. Although the main reason I think is the humbleness being preached in the Bible that all the members decided on the name of Roman Catholic Church. Because Jesus was not afraid of physical harm to himself. I think he was thinking of his loved ones and that they always be safe. The proof is Jesus did not attempted to escape from the government authorities.

1 Timothy 3
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.    2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

It is also written that Jesus said to Simon Peter that the latter will deny him 3 times when Jesus was being persecuted or scrutinized by the good cops and the bad cops because Jesus was courting the special woman. I think this is a coded message that means Simon Peter reluctantly accepts the leadership of the Catholic Church cause Jesus gets married. This is Simon Peter's song.

So I asked earlier if Simon Peter marries. From the song of Dan Fogelberg, Simon Peter travels to foreign places cause he stay in some motels, for Church and pleasure presumably. And from Peter Cetera song, Simon Peter falls in love with a foreign beauty and he intends to marry her. Of course this is just speculation cause it needs proof from the Bible. I know that this seems like a funny connection cause I heard Chicago and Peter, So just treat this as fiction until I find further proof in the Bible.

2 Peter 3
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

In the two letters of Peter to early christians, he acknowledges Jesus as the founder. And in the verses above, he is saying the leadership of Jesus is the same as his leadership. He speaks as Lord Simon Peter here and he holds on to the Doctrines of Jesus. That is the meaning of one day with the Lord is same as thousand years.

1 Peter 5
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

Peter has a son named Marcus. As having a Christian way of living, we can assume Peter married.

Were Early Christians members of a secret society? I'm not saying a vigilante like Batman but primarily to help people.

Hey guys, read up on this. http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/20.htm

I think John is saying here that after the leadership of Peter, there emerged a tyrant leader and the doctrines of the Bible were sealed. John writes in hope that future generations can decode this and go back to the doctrines of Jesus.

I had this conclusion because John said "Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." He mentioned thousand years on which Peter has described both his reign and Jesus' reign within the period. Its like John quoted Peter on this.

"Rev. 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

The secret society has been exposed. And the members were persecuted.

A Thousand Years is symbolic of the reign of Jesus and Peter. When people start following the doctrines of Jesus again is the start of Thousand Years more reign of Love.

Revelation 20
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

To continue, the books were opened one by one meaning goodness prevailed over the centuries as there are many religions and institutions which goals are to help people, educate them and unite them. Basically they convey love. They have read and followed some of the doctrines of Jesus and some have the doctrines written in their hearts. These people are written in the book of life. But those who endure shall be saved so keep doing good. We just have to explain the correct meaning of the Doctrines of Jesus and follow it. The corrupted people are not listed in the book of life because they are still dead, wallowing in sins, ignorance and stupidity.
