In that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are God the over all answer would be yes, But the person of the Holy Spirit Came to the disciples at Pentecost. That is the day the Church began from that day on the Holy Spirit has been adding to the Church those who are being saved... Jim

Matthew 16:18 -19
One of Jesus mission on earth is the establishment of a church, communities, fellowships for continuous worships of the Almighty Father, as Jesus had a limited time on earth.
Church holds the key, the teachings, the guidance towards God`s Kingdom in Heaven.

The term Christianity was not used untill over a 100 years after the death of Jesus. A wise man, but a GOD he is not.

Yes. In St. John's Gospel 20:22 - Jesus Christ, the Lord "breathes" on the apostles, and then gives them the power to forgive and retain sins. The only other moment in Scripture where God breathes on man is in Gen. 2:7, when the Lord "breathes" divine life into man. When this happens, a significant transformation takes place. This is the founding of the Church.

Yes. When Father God enlightened (quickened) Peter who answered Jesus, "You are Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.". (Emanuel means 'God with us'.) So also being the Son of the Living God is 'Emanuel'. Jesus said that it was Father God & not man who revealed this to Peter. And Jesus named Peter (piece of the Rock). "And on this Massive Rock", (enlightened by God, confessing who Jesus Is) Jesus said, "I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail over it.".
Jesus is the Foundation and also the 12 Apostles of the Lamb are of the Foundation. I think that Matthias who was added later has a name similar to Matthew. So, I think that Paul may be the next foundational Apostle who was born out of season.

Depends on how you read the bible. Some people think Paul or Peter founded the church. Jesus said that Paul/ Peter was the rock that would become the church.

Paul The Apostle speaks of "Christ" and the Church.
Christ (not Jesus) is head of the Church (the Body).
Christ("is the end of the law") is
the head of every "man"(of child/man).
When I became a man, I put away "child"-ish things(laws).
Dare to allegory compare Jesus and Christ:
-"Jesus": was made under the law: "division" & 'not peace'.
- "Christ": "is the end of the law": "peace" and not dividead.
"Peace", with God, is notably "through Jesus --> Christ".
Christ is our peace who abolished the law (the enmity).
-Jesus: Saviour of Israel(of Jacob-->Israel) only
-Christ: Saviour of the world (Jn 4:42; 1Jn4:14)
To WIT, that God was in Christ reconciling the world
It's all "allegory" and "mystery" to solve "in time";
lest all perish by law instead of none perish by grace.
The Lord is longsuffering to us-ward = salvation,
notably so that none perish rather than all perish.
None perish when the shew is ended properly, as written:
The grace(only) of our Lord Jesus-->Christ with you-->all. Amen.

Yes...Father K. is right. Jesus spent 3 years teaching 12 men how to teach and what to teach....gave them their basic seminary teachings, so they would know what to do when He commissioned them.

It's my understanding he founded a synagogue; after all, he was Jewish, if you noticed.
Later, the gentiles, among his followers, had outnumbered the Jews; and they switched all their buildings to churches, changing the signs and everything.

Read the book of Acts. Actually, it started with Peter a short time after his death.
