In Episode 31, we laid out the biblical blueprint for the Church Christ founded. In this episode, we take the next step and ask what those biblical claims logically require. Can the true Church be invisible, fragmented, or loosely authoritative and still satisfy Christ’s commands and promises? In Part 2 we examine several common objections and show why the New Testament points not to a vague spiritual association, but to a visible, unified, authoritative, and enduring Church. This episode serves as the bridge between the biblical case in Part 1 and the historical investigation in Part 3.
