Yes, the one founded by Jesus himself when he said in Matthew 16:18-19 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”
That argument by the RCC for its claim of being the "one true church" is widely promulgated, but false.
The Lord (Jesus) used two different words for "rock" in the text of Matt. 16:18; "Petros" (Peter) is a masculine noun for a loose rock which can be used as a proper name. "Upon this rock" uses the word "petra", a feminine noun which refers to a ledge, bedrock or other immoveable stone. The church was not built on Peter, the "loose rock", it was built on immovable bedrock; which is a reference to Jesus Himself, as stated by Peter in 1 Peter 2:8 where he uses the word "petra" referring to Jesus as a "rock of offense", and Paul in 1 Cor. ("a spiritual rock [petras]" and "the rock [petra] was Christ").
The true Church is built on Jesus, not Peter or anyone else.
It matters not what meaning you (or the reference you are using) ascribe to the word "rock" in the context of how Jesus stated it. That is pure revisionist thinking. What matters is what "you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church" meant to Peter and the Disciples and how they "actioned" Jesus' words. One only has to reference the Acts of the Apostles for evidence of this action and the Church under construction.
The Church did not "action" anything regarding Peter in Acts or anywhere else. Peter referred to himself as "your fellow elder" (1 Peter 5:1), not THE elder. Peter never gave himself a supreme place in the Church. To assume the other apostles did is not only "revisionism", but pure fantasy.
Nor did Jesus state that Peter is "this rock". If He'd meant that, Jesus would have said "Upon YOU I will build My Church..." But He didn't.
As for the meanings of the words "Peter" and "rock", I don't ascribe their meaning, a Greek dictionary does. Words do mean things. You can ignore the meaning of the words which the Holy Spirit inspired all you want, but that won't make the RCC's claims legitimate.
Given the criticism by multiple influencers (MSM and more subtle actors) of the least thing Trump did/does, his lack of lip service to rote avowals was in keeping with his agenda. Besides which, the Creed was developed by the Roman church (325 CE), so that assumption is predictable.
I realize the point(s) you make are infinitely more involved-and relevant- than my statement seems, but, Ezra Cohen Watnik... Where did this guy COME from?!?! I remember Wictor on twit back in the day kept pointing him out, yet always with the caveat that he was such an enigma, there weren't even any pictures on him ANYwhere on the internet at the time. He seems to be everywhere, all the time, but never anywhere all at the same time. He's a bonafide ninja-- and I'm extremely grateful he's on Our Side!! Brilliant threading together all the pieces & players, Saint. Well done!
Absolutely revelatory! The long-term strategy, the data collection and correlation, the guarding and shepherding of this plan from its conception is quite stunning! I also love the fact that what RtS lays out here has room in it's weave for the existence of Q. Indeed, what I just read is a description of how Q could have been conceived and launched, because a broad, deep, long-term plan involving the salvation of The People would absolutely require that The People know of its existence, and encourage their participation, otherwise when it reached the time of its completion, very few of The People would understand what had happened. Richard the Saint has said that he hasn't paid much attention to the Q drops, but his incredible perception and interpretation of this brilliant research almost incidentally nails Q on! Particularly with that beautiful timeline which tracks the recruitment and involvement of ECW and the timing of the first Q drop. Thank you, Richard the Saint, this has slotted lots of things into place for me, and I'm sure that my second, third and fourth readings will continue to help. As I said earlier, Revelatory! Brilliant! I stand in awe!
Thank you for your research, the history, and a glimpse into your personal understanding / thought process. Your honest, face value approach and conclusions to a myriad of possibilities is something I can grab on to. My President said we caught them all, we’ve got it all, I’m going to Make America Great Again, and you just presented a very plausible way he can do it. Much gratitude.
Holly Shit! How I LOVED this! You are truly one of the few new legends of today that has broken the barrier of the Deep State to bring out the truths that depict, so succinctly, what is so important for us to read and digest in these important times. You make being alive EXCITING! Soxxie
Nothing less than thrilling, Richard the Saint! Let's hope that it reaches millions, far and wide! Going back for another read-through on screen now. What a trip!!! THANK YOU!!!
This is quite possibly the best analyzation of the current situation I've read. You are SPOT ON here. Thank you RtS for another fascination, informative read. Godspeed to you sir!
Now, back up a bit and read / reread issue 93 part 1. This is a great visual issue (slide presentation) that helped me digest this intense issue 99 part 6.
catholic, in the Apostles Creed, means universal church , not THE Catholic Church
In our Lutheran church, we said "the Holy Christian Church"

ECW worked for General Michael Flynn in DOD. That's where he came from (Flynn)

Thank You Richard, God bless You and Your's 🙏 💪
Absolutely PROFOUND RtS. 🙏🏼
Your best one yet! The twist at the end quoting Psalms brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
You are so under the Holy Spirit anointing right now. So much truth. Agape love forever, bro <3
