If one claims to be Christian, he should be part of the Catholic Church

Well forgive me but usually I like to clarify what I am trying to prove in my opening statement and did not want to rush right into the debate. 1) You first claim that a Christian is "derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings" or "belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ". This definition is correct, however, what is the "religion based on the teachings of Christ". Now, we have 1000s upon 1000s of "churches" yet they all claim to be the "religion based on the teachings of Christ". They all contradict one another in teachings and doctrines but all claim to be the "religion based on the teachings of Christ". Obviously the definition is speaking of Christianity as a whole, however, Christianity is divided significantly so one needs to be specific as to what church is truly of Christ. Now, Christ established ONE Church and not several churches. The Catholic Church ALONE existed before any of the other churches came to be. Therefore, a question arises, "what Church is the Church Christ made"?"This is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what are the claims of the Catholic Church. It doesn't prove that you should follow the Catholic church to be called, considered a Christian.......Still, that would not prove the principal claim either. The meaning of 'Christian', at least the modern meaning is clear. It is about following the religion, not the institution."As stated before, Christ instituted ONE Church (Matt. 16:18) and this Church is visible and not invisible. The Church of Christ would need to be the original Church and the first Church because this would of course be the Church founded by Christ. So Christ's Church had to have been first. The Catholic Church, historically, is this original Church and even Protestants admit to this claim. Also, even during this debate, I see comments from people saying, its obvious the Catholic Church is wrong, it goes against the clear teaching of the Bible, the Bible teaches this and the Catholic Church teaches that, etc. etc. and yet, if the Bible is so clear, why do we have 1000s of denominations contradicting themselves about the teachings of the Bible? Obviously, Sola Scriptura is heretical and starts confusion and was never the teaching of the Early Church. Any church that teaches such doctrine is not Christ's Church. As I stated in a previous debate: "Another point I would like to address is the Protestant teaching of Sola Scriptura. This is the teaching that the bible is the sole rule of Faith and that it is the final authority in all things. This too is heresy. Practically all of the Protestant denominations today teach Sola Scriptura and it is because of this teaching that there are so many Christian denominations to this day. By whose authority and by whose interpretation do we go by and follow? How can we trust a fallible man to interpret an infallible book? ST. Augustine said it best, "In no other way have heresies arisen, and perverse doctrines that ensnare souls and cast them into the abyss, than because the Scriptures, which are good in themselves, are ill understood, and what is thus ill understood is rashly and boldly asserted." " (In Joan. Tract, xviii. tome, iii, col. 430). We have thousands of interpretations of Scripture yet, there is only one meaning not countless. All of this confusion is not the work of God for he is not the author of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33). "No prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation" (2 Pt. 1:20) and Scripture can be hard to understand and misinterpreting it can lead to one's destruction (1 Pt. 3:15-16). Therefore, there must be an infallible guide that can interpret it and give us the true meaning of the infallible and inspired Scripture and that is the Church. The Church is the "pillar and the foundation of the Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). This means that the Church uphold the Truth and keeps it stable. If the Church went into apostasy and was corrupted, the Church of course could not be the "pillar and foundation of the Truth" since it could not be considered a firm foundation making the Truth itself slump and plummet. Evidently, the Church that is the "pillar and foundation of the Truth" is the Catholic Church, since, it is the original Church therefore making this Church the Church that sustains the Truth. ...the Authentic Church of Christ would need to have been the original Church. The Church must not believe in Sola Scriptura (and this is the teaching of the majority of Protestant denominations), the Church must not have been founded by man or by schism. The Catholic Church alone existed since the time of Christ, the Catholic Church alone is the 'pillar and foundation of the Truth' and the Catholic Church alone is the Authentic Church of Christ" guided by the Spirit of Truth, preserved by Christ with his promise that the 'gates of hell shall not prevail against it'." Why would any "Christian" want to be a part of a church that was not founded by Christ? Christ did not institute a visible Church for nothing. He founded it a Church for the purpose of people joining it, not so that people would make their own churches. The Catholic Church is the Church founded by Him and He will that all come to the knowledge of the Truth and embrace His Church.
