Where and what the history of the Christian Church if the Catholic Church is a fake ? And ... what happens?

Question

to all the people that were fooled ?
Other than the Catholic Church there are many that claim to be the truth .... But it seems that the catholic church was prominant and perhaps the only church until Martin Luther rebelled and started the reformation. If true .... why were the majority of people after Christ's death only exposed to a false church ? Why are fundamentalists and bornagains and other sects a modern day phenomenon ? What happens to all the people that never had chance at understanding scripture and knowledge ..... if from birth to death they were only exposed to a false church or beliefs ?

Answer 1

That answer is in Acts, chapter 2.

Answer 2

If that Catholic Church is fake, so are all the others! Sure, Martin Luther and John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli had issues with the church but they kept much of what the Church taught. ALL three of them insisted, by the way, on the perpetual virginity of Mary.

Incidentally, none of them even agreed with each other in their teachings. From there, we now have some 30,000 Protestant denominations....quite a false testimony to Jesus who had prayed that they might all be one!

Answer 3

After the Apostles were martyred, the Christians were left without the true authority to lead them. Without this, man was left to his own devices. Emperor Constantine and the self-contradictory Nycian creed followed. For many centuries there was no light or knowledge from God, and the true doctrines were corrupted. I believe that Joseph Smith truly saw God the Father and Jesus Christ.
They restored the true church through him, and provided through proxy baptisms for the dead a means for those who died without opportunity to hear the truth to have a chance to accept the gospel. Anyone who would have accepted the gospel, but never had opportunity in this life, are not unjustly thrust into darkness.

Answer 4

It is impossible to give a universal statement on the salvation of all members of any denomination of Christianity. Not ALL Baptists are saved. Not ALL Presbyterians are saved. Not ALL Lutherans are saved. Salvation is determined by personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation, not by titles or denominational identification. Despite the unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, there are genuine believers who attend Roman Catholic churches. There are many Roman Catholics who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. However, these Catholic Christians are believers despite what the Catholic Church teaches, not because of what it teaches. To varying degrees, the Catholic Church teaches from the Bible and points people to Jesus Christ as the Savior. As a result, people are sometimes saved in Catholic churches. The Bible has an impact whenever it is proclaimed (Isaiah 55:11). Catholic Christians remain in the Catholic Church out of ignorance of what the Catholic Church truly stands for, out of family tradition and peer pressure, or out of a desire to reach other Catholics for Christ.

At the same time, the Catholic Church also leads many people away from a genuine faith relationship with Christ. The unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church have often given the enemies of Christ opportunity to blaspheme. The Roman Catholic Church is not the church that Jesus Christ established. It is not a church that is based on the teachings of the Apostles (as described in the Book of Acts and the New Testament epistles). While Jesus’ words in Mark 7:9 were directed towards the Pharisees, they accurately describe the Roman Catholic Church, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!”

Answer 5

While false religions have always existed and followed,sometimes by force or voluntarily,true religion also existed and still exists.
Original christians,following Christ,who was an Essene,vegetarian and loving,were persecuted and massacred by the catholic church during inquisition.
It's quite simple to love God actually,as He is in your heart and you know very well what is good or bad.
You know very well the horrors of slaughterhouses and prostitution and drugs,but still the majority are eating meat,having sex and drugs,while still thinking they're ok.
A wise man came to the West and reestablish religion:Srila Prabhupada[Hare Krishna]
and he refreshed the minds of people by his teachings:millions are now following,and feeling much better.
You're invited!
Original christianity is also available....
So,there's no reason to follow fake teachings.

Answer 6

That's all any of them have ever had.

Christianity is slightly warmed over Catholicism.

The similarities so out weigh the few minor differences that any one who claims to see a difference is comical.
