The Roman Catholic CHurch existed before Jesus. Julius Caesar was a Pontifus Maximus aka the Pope. The RCC simply adopted yet another God, aka Jesus along with its many others. All cultures understood that they were not different but simply localised forms of the same gods as their neighbours. Jupiter or Sky father (Piter means father etc) is the same as Zeus etc.
RC Church - Originated when ? Spiritually Strong Ones please.

The apostle Paul never used the word "Christian" or "Christian Church" in any of his letters. Paul envisioned a fulfillment of the Israel of God Romans 11. The term "universal church" was adapted to unite the diverse "Christian World" in a "marriage" of church and state for political gain under Constantine.
Shalom friend ;)

And the Apostle Paul didnt state a single fact about Jesus either except for the death bit. No apostles, bethlehem, pontus pilate, Mary and so on, none of those names or places is mentioned in once in any of this writings.

In Revelation, the 666-beast tha
MP:
Lars why do you deny that 666 simply spells out Nero Caesar ? Revelation is not prophecy the author is writing about that nice despot Nero.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_beast
Certain scholarship has identified [citation needed] the number as having symbolic correlation to the Emperor Nero , whose Greek name transliterated into Hebrew has the numeric value of 666, whereas his Latin name writ into Hebrew is 616. [4] In Revelation's narrative, the "mark of the beast" is used to identify the beast's acolytes. Revelation 13:17 states that the mark is "the name of the beast or the number of his name". Because of this, it is widely thought among dispensationalists that the mark will take the form of a number or symbol

Neron Caesar
Bust of Nero at Musei Capitolini, Rome It is widely accepted by many scholars that Roman Emperor Nero (ruling 54–68) is the first Beast of Revelation 13. This interpretation was received by enumerating his name and title Neron Caesar [27] to the Number of the Beast. [4] [28] [29] An Aramaic scroll from Murabba'at, dated to "the second year of Emperor Nero", refers to him by his name and title [30] where in Hebrew it is Nron Qsr (pronounced "Neron Kaisar"), and in Latin it is Nro Qsr(pronounced "Nero Kaisar"). [31]
- Nron Qsr
The Greek version of the name and title transliterates into Hebrew as ???? ??? , and yields a numerical value of 666: [4] [30]

The Latin version of the name drops the second Nun (?), so that it appears as Nro and transliterates into Hebrew as ??? ??? , yielding 616: [4]
