What the hell is going on with the Catholic Church? The Pope Ain't the Pope. Seriously, if they clean house I'm going back to church.

Yes, and unfortunately the "protestant" church is headed that way now.
The protestant churches are, mostly, corporate churches now. The ecumenical movement (a RCC thing) exists to bring these churches back to the fold under a common religious banner. Even the Seventh Day Adventist church has been corrupted by the ecumenical movement.
The ecumenical movement is directly contrary to Christ's direction. We are commanded to come out of corruption and be separate.
Other churches have begun adopting certain aspects of Catholic doctrine. The big examples are the Trinity, Sunday worship (which most never left in the first place), advocacy for Sunday laws, the substitution of church tradition over Biblical law, celebacy in the priest hood (Paul specifically said priests should be married in 1 Timothy), belief that judgement comes in the moment of death (looking down from Heaven or roasting in Hell), etc.
The Seventh Day Adventist church accepted the Trinity doctrine back in 1980. They try to pretend it isn't the same as the Catholic doctrine and if you read the fine print, it isn't, but in a few decades it will be indistinguishable.
The Bible is pretty clear on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the Gospel Christ says he will return to His apostles in Spirit and that He and His Father will be among them in Spirit. This is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Christ/God. It isn't a third being. The RCC teaches of a triune godhead which aligns with Babylonian, Egyptian, and Theban teaching, all of which have a sungod somewhere in their theology. In Babylonian, that's Tammuz. In Egyptian it is Amun-Ra (one step up from their trinity). In Theban it is Amun. What day did the Catholics "move the sanctity of the Sabbath" to? Sunday. Sunday was so-called because it is the day the Romans used to worship their sungod. What does Lucifer mean? Light-bringer.
Exekiel 8:13-16.
Good stuff thanks for putting this in here. Hope you had a good Passover!
Even with all of those changes.... if the churches are growing their number by the day, and millions are being brought to Christ.... is there really such a need to rally against the ecumenical movement?
There are groups that are doing it the right way. I'd point you to take a look at the Association of Related Churches (ARC), and see how you jive with their doctrine. No offense, but you seem the type to find something wrong with it regardless.
I think the biggest problem Christianity has had in the last 50 years is too many people saying "No, THIS is the right way to worship"... when really, all that needs to be said is, "But if not for Jesus...."
The problem with Protestantism today is that it is lukewarm. The Protestant clergy is feminized to the point of apologizing to the rest of the world for asserting any sort of belief that might hurt a non-believers' fee-fees.
We're coming out of that cycle and entering a new one. The kids coming up through the ranks in protestant churches today are on FIRE for Jesus. They grew up in this hyper-sensitive world, and they know what it takes to get around it. PASSION is what bypasses it. You can mince words if you want, but it won't get you anywhere. When you introduce true passion and joy into what you do, any subtleties that are being misunderstood or misappropriated, or are misaligned or misattributed - they fall to the wayside. And the true and real and living message is what sticks.
And that message is Jesus.
Thats why I have so much hope for this younger generation, is we are learning from the mistakes of our parents. I know several folks with spirits that are on fire, and most if not all of them are younger than 20. The only reason we never hear about these people, is because our corporate media has blocked any mention of these great people, and because of that nobody talks about them.
Your experience may differ, but I've not found one Protestant church with a televised service that wasn't spiritually compromised.
Fair enough. I'm currently searching for a church for myself and my wife and am feeling a little jaded about it all. I shouldn't take that out on a whole group of churches. My bad.
Definitely not a butt hurt catholic lol. Easter and christmas are not something churches should be doing and I see most protestant churches celebrating these things. How do you know? Well from what I see is our secular culture celebrates Christmas and Easter as well.
These come from pagan traditions, in the time these holidays were brought in to church is much like homosexuality and trans is being accepted in to churches now.
People should not be celebrating things that offend God.
My church celebrated Easter BIGLY. Hundreds received salvation. Our Easter broadcast was seen across the state on one of the primary news channels. It was an incredible move of the spirit. Anointed.
There was nothing we did on Sunday but celebrate the gift of Jesus. No egg hunting, no bunny rabbits, just Jesus. I do not believe we offended God, not even a little bit.
I mean that's good people got saved, but again in the Bible it says to do the "Feast of the Lord" not easter
It would also be wise to move out of worldly celebrations like easter because these newly saved people will be seeing what the world is doing and think that's okay to do stuff the world is doing because the church is doing it. That's why it's not great in a more logistical way.
Just like when all the celebrities thank Jesus for their awards then the baby Christians think it's okay to be apart of that world.. No Christian should not be a part of hollywood or the world.
That's how us conservative Christians have got in to this mess. Letting the world slowly drip in to the chruch.
