| When Did All These Religions Begin |

| In the very last verse of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, we read our Lord's own words in His promise to be with us until the consummation of the world, " Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." Matt. 28: 20. So our Lord promised us He would always be with us. So His Church must have always been here since the birthday of the Church, Pentecost. If His Church were not always here, our Lord would have been a liar and deceiver and therefore could not have been God. So it is no little matter to say unless your Church has been here science Our Lord's Ascension it could not be the true Church of Christ. Since our Lord's last commandment to the Apostles was to " Teach them ALL things whatsoever I have commanded you", it is obvious that He wanted to make sure we received ALL truth and not bits and pieces of truth. His Church then, must have been here for all times and must continue teaching the same truths that our Lord gave to the Apostles, in other words His Church must be Apostolic. That leaves only one, the Roman Catholic Church.
