The First True Church was the Church of Acts, not the Roman Catholic Church, the seeds of this deception, this false religion were already however at work at the time of the church of acts.
The Head of The True Church is Jesus Christ, not Mary not any Pope. Christs body is the Church not some "mother" figure an invention of Rome.
The foundation upon which the church was built was Jesus Christ, not Peter. Jesus is the Rock not Peter. The Word does not say Peter was a rock. It was revealed to Peter who Christ was, and it was through the that revelation God gave to Peter.
Christ gave power to all his disciples not just Peter, God gave power to every believer to be filled with His Spirit and be witness of Him to the lost world.
The church is not our "Mother", the church is the body of Christ Jesus masculine not feminine.
Peter was not the first Pope, the first pope contrary to what the Catholic church teaches, was Boniface III. (seen in image #1). Calling a man "Pope.." did not come into effect until approximately AD 610.
