Ephesians 4:4King James Version (KJV)
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
King James Version (KJV)
One body mean only catholic sealed?
Catholic is not member of the body of Christ. Catholic member of the body of virgin Mary.
Member of the body of Christ is every individual who love and accept Jesus.
I copy question from brother Passintru
Would someone please give me a chapter and verse breakdown of where this comes from?
The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.
9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Mt 16:18 Jesus said he would build his church. Church there is singular. Jesus therefore never built churchES. The church is the body, Col 1:18, and there is ONE body/church, Eph 4:4 not two or three or fifteen...just one. Nowhere does the bible say that one church Jesus built was made up of hundreds man-made denominations with many contradicting faithS for there is ONE faith, Eph 4:5. "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Whatever is not that one body, one faith will be rooted up.
I am not Catholic and do not believe Catholicism is that "one body" possessing that "one faith".
