Testing Roman Catholicism - Introduction

Roman Catholics have made the claim over and over that they are the church going back to Jesus. Is this true? It turns out there is a super easy way to answer this question with scripture. See, the New Testament was an inspired 1st century document of the early early church! Therefore, if the Catholic teachings match with the New Testament, then we can conclude the Catholics are right. However, if the New Testament blatantly contradicts the Catholic church's doctrine, then we must conclude that the Catholics are wrong and their church thus created after the first church of the 1st century. After all, what better historical evidence in the first century could we have than the New Testament? In the future I will post in this series much scripture that examines the Roman Catholic church to see if they are the same church as the 1st century church. The results may shock you!
