The Glorious God and His Glorious Church

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST Neither Catholic,
Protestant Nor Jewish Matthew
1613-19

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea
Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, Who do
men say that I, the Son of Man, am? 14 So they
said, Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and
others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. 15 He
said to them, But who do you say that I am? 16
Simon Peter answered and said, You are the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
3
17 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are
you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not
revealed this to you, but My Father who is in
heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are
Peter, and on this rock I will build My church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against
it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matt.

10 And then many will be offended, will betray
one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then
many false prophets will rise up and deceive
many. Matt. 2410-11
15
28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all
the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made
you overseers, to shepherd the church of God
which He purchased with His own blood. 29 For I
know this, that after my departure savage wolves
will come in among you, not sparing the
flock. Acts 2028-29
16
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter
times some will depart from the faith, giving
heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of
demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having
their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3
forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain
from foods which God created to be received with
thanksgiving by those who believe and know the
truth. 1 Tim. 41-3
