Jesus founded the church in Jersusalem, the Apostles moved it to Rome and Constantine moved Rome?

Question

To Constantanople and the church moved with it?

The Catholic Chruch broke away from Constantinople and moved back to Rome to establish their own authority?

So than the Eastern Orthodox Church is the original Church.

If this is the case than why so many denominations of Christianity and why don't the baptists, Pentacostal and all Christians join Constantinople?

Answer 1

You are inaccurate in saying that Jesus founded the Church in Jerusalem and that it moved to Rome. Can you back this claim with historical facts.

If you take the trouble to read the writings of the Early Church Fathers, the Church was already well established in Rome before Constantine became Emperor in early 4th century.

By the way, the Orthodox Church itself accepts that Peter is the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, just as the Catholic Church accepts that the Apostle Andrew founded the Orthodox Church.

"[T]here are many other things which most properly can keep me in [the Catholic Church’s] bosom...Her authority...The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15–17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house" St Augustine (Against the Letter of Mani Called "The Foundation" 4:5 [A.D. 397]).

"The Catholic Church was recognized by the whole Christian world as the true Church of God for 15 consecutive centuries. No man can halt at the end of those 1,500 years and say that the Catholic Church is not the Church of Christ without embarrassing himself seriously. I can accept only that Church which was preached to all creatures by my own forefathers, the Twelve (Apostles) who, like me, issued from the Synagogue." - Rabbi Zolli of Rome, Catholic Convert

Answer 2

First was the Church of Jerusalim, then Antioch, then Alexandria, then Rome (as major churches), later you see in Revelation other 7 Churches the Lord speaking to

Catholic is NOT Roman, as Roman means from Rome (Local), and Catholic means Universal, and putting the two words in one statment is a contradiction

Constantinople have been established later (in the 4th century) by Constantine

and you forgot about the Oriental Orthodox my friend, the Orthodox Churches of Alexandria, Antioch, Armenia, India, and Etheopia

baptists and pentacostals aren't one in Faith with the Orthodox churches (Eastern and Oriental), so they can't simply follow constantinople nor any other major Church

Answer 3

I am Orhtodox so while your conclution is right the reasoning is wrong. The ecumincal pariarchate is first amoungst equals not a escligiloical monarch -which is the case with Rome. Christ said none of the apsotles would rule over another. Rome did have primacy but after the fall of he western empire Rome tried to turn it from one of honnor to one of control.

Answer 4

The Christian church actually started approx. 33A.D. at Jer-
usalem on the day of Pentecost. Read Acts 2nd. cha. In Lu.
24:44-49, Jesus told His disciples to go up to Jerusalem, and
wait. Actually the church was named after its founder. The
Church of Jesus Christ. (not LDS) Remember Jesus Christ is
the head of the church. We are His body. You have a head and a name, so what is the name of your whole body? Think
about it. KJV

Answer 6

the church that Jesus founded could not just be picked up and moved. the church that Jesus is the chief corner stone of is in all the believers hearts and is not confined in any man made structure.

Answer 7

brother,,,, first off we need to realize that no building or denomination is the church,,, the people is the church.
the name over the door wont get anyone into heaven. and Jesus is the head of the church . so leave the name of the church at the door and enter into the building with thanks giving , ,,,,,prayers

Answer 8

Nope.

Matt.16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Keys of authority to bind or loose precepts, the opening of Gospel truths and the door of faith. It refers to the kingdom of heaven and not to the Church. The authority or keys given to Peter was a gift, and not transferable.
