📜✨ “Rome Wasn’t Built in a Verse”

A snarky, Scripture-soaked reminder that the Catholic Church didn’t materialize out of thin air — it grew exactly the way Christ planted it: slowly, locally, apostolically, and with far more Bible behind it than the internet likes to admit.

Some folks love to say,
“Show me the papacy in one verse.”
As if Christianity were a scavenger hunt
and Jesus wrote the Church in bullet points.

But the Kingdom of God has never worked that way.

You don’t get Rome in a verse
any more than you get the Trinity in a verse,
the canon of Scripture in a verse,
or the hypostatic union in a verse.
Some things aren’t verse-sized.
They’re Bible-sized.

And that’s exactly how Christ built His Church.

Page by page.
Prophecy by prophecy.
Office by office.
Stone, key, and mountain —
a kingdom with structure, succession, and stewardship.
Not a choose-your-own-adventure on parchment.

From Isaiah’s steward…
to Daniel’s kingdom-mountain…
to Peter renamed Rock…
to the keys…
to the sheep…
to the brothers confirmed…
to the apostles laying hands…
to the bishops succeeding them…

Rome wasn’t built in a verse.
It was built in a Testament.

And every time someone says,
“If it’s not in one verse, I won’t believe it,”
they’re demanding a faith smaller than the Bible God actually gave us.

🎶 “Rome Wasn’t Built in a Verse” — out now.
A track for anyone who’s tired of bumper-sticker theology
and ready to embrace the Church Christ actually built.
