Old Testament Insights Illuminate New Testament Faith

The debate over the presence of the Catholic Church in the Bible reveals contrasting perspectives between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians. Non-Catholics often deny the Church's existence during the New Testament, viewing any mention as negative, while Catholics assert that the Church is indeed present and will evolve into the Catholic Church over time. A critical Old Testament prophecy, specifically from Daniel chapter 2, is proposed as a foundational element that can unify various Christian denominations and clarify misunderstandings surrounding their theological differences. This prophecy is frequently overlooked but holds significant importance in reconciling perspectives on Church origins and doctrinal disputes.
