And the disciple were called Christians first at Antioch. Acts 11:26. I asked a man the other day if he was a Christian. He told me no he was a Catholic. Catholic isn't in the Bible but Jesus did make reference to them many times through out the Bible. He called them false prophets and Antichrist.
You might give this scripture to guess and girl won Acts 11:26

Your question is not making much sense, what the bible mentioned was church. no names to the churches but the cities where the churches were were recorgnised too. If you read your bible very well you will see the church in Rome, that's the church that turned out to be called Catholic, if you care to know the detail, send me an email. Not withstanding, we shouldn't be putting our concern on things as comon as names of churches, we have a great task which is doing what we have always promised when we say the lords prayer. we promise we are going to do the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven and help in bringing his Kingdom. like John cried in the wilderness, make straight the way of thy Lord, we need to create love out of the created and love alone can lead us out of the rat race that has overtaken the human race. thanks

It's not in the Bible!
How could it be?
The Order started much after the Bible was compiled!
Can you show me the Surah or ayat that calls the Muslims Sunni or Shia or Ahmediyya or Sufi?
No, you can't, because it doesn't exist there!
Labba'ik is there.
I guessed you're a Muslim from your asking for the Verse and so on; which is a Muslims' weakness because they need to check with the Qua'ran for everything, including how to bathe and have sex!?
Same thing with the Bible.

The word Catholic is from the Greek word for universal. Where in the Bible were you instructed to use Yahoo answers to attack the original Church? Where in the Bible does it say that our Church should be divided?

It is not in the Bible. Even though it is a very long book, there are many words that are not in the Bible.

As a non-Catholic, I gotta chime in. Granted "catholic" is nowhere in the Bible. The word means "universal" and refers to the whole group of churches in "the body of Christ." In their opinion, only churches under the authority of the church in Rome are members of the [big C]atholic church. Jesus said to Peter, "On this rock I'll build my church (Mt. 16:18)." They say that's a literal organization with authority passed down from the start. Many look at "the body" as individual churches. Many evangelicals point to the letters of the apostles "to the church at [fill in the city]" as the proof that churches are local groups of believers. Some identify with the [little c]atholic church as the universal body of believers in various churches and denominations who are part of the "bride of Christ."

It's not. As a matter of fact, I don't recall seeing the name of any Christian religion in the Bible. Or the word Christian, either.
