Did The Lord Build More Than One Church? Is one church just as good as another?

Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

More than one church? Not a personal defense. 1 Peter 3:15 Not purpose to defend where I worship. Not purpose to identify. Qualities and Characteristics. Provoke study. Some arguments are inconsistent. Some illogical. Contradict the Bible. Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … the text of Matthew 16:13-20 is grammatically incorrect. “And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … He approves of all of them. Yet, there are some things the Father did not plant. Matthew 15:7-13; Hebrews 8:2 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … God is self-contradictory. Yet, God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 14:33 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … God would contradict His law of production and reproduction. Yet, seed produces “after its kind.” Genesis 1:24-25 Luke 8:11 The word is the seed of the kingdom. Galatians 6:7 We reap what we sow. Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … He is the head of all denominations. Protestant Catholic Christ Christ Pope One Church Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … He is the head of all denominations. Yet … Ephesians 1:22-23, “and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body” Ephesians 5:23, “For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, (being) himself the saviour of the body.” Christ (Head) One Church (One Body) Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … the blood of Christ is of no benefit to the salvation of the world. Yet … Christ purchased the church with His blood. Acts 20:28; cf. Ephesians 5:23-25 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … He built something that He prayed against. Yet … Jesus prayed for unity among believers. John 17:20ff; cf. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … no one could be a member of any one of them on the basis of conviction … i.e. “I belong to this one because it is right.” Yet … conviction is commanded. 1 Peter 3:15 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … Christ would have the same spiritual relationship to all of them. (He would be a spiritual polygamist.) Yet … the church is the bride of Christ. Ephesians 5:23ff; Romans 7:1-4; 2 Corinthians 11:2; cf. Isaiah 54:5 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … it doesn’t make any difference what we preach, believe or practice. Yet … Teaching the tradition of men made worship vain. Matthew 15:7-9 Yet … Paul pronounced the curse of God upon anyone who would preach anything different. Galatians 1:6-9 Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am

If the Lord built more than one church Then … the Lord made a mistake in addition … He added when He should have divided. Yet … The Lord ADDED the saved to the CHURCH. Acts 2:47, “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Micky Galloway 12/16/2018 am
