Has there ALWAYS been a true church?

And if that be true, how could any church truly come about ... during a time when there was not one single SAVED BELIEVER on earth?

The late Marvin Arnold spent many years, traveling the world, researching even the archives of the Vatican, in an effort to find evidence in support of his belief that the One True Church has always existed (although not as renown as it is today).

Arnold believed that because our Lord stated that the "gates of hell" shall not prevail against His church, then it must have always been present in the earth, and he discovered some pretty convincing historical evidence to authenticate that belief.

A friend loaned me several books to read that Arnold had written about his discoveries, but I don't recall their titles. I'm sure you can find them through a Goggle or other internet search engine.
