It’s hard for me to say church is the Antichrist, I know what you mean though. Jesus Is the church, as you say we submit to Him only. The buildings are places of worship and for fellowship. Be careful saying this to Catholics though, they get all pissy.
Before Rome, there was no real hierarchy in the church, other than deacons and/or perhaps a bishop. Everyone gathered in each other's homes to worship and all worshippers were on the same level and equal participants. It was Rome who introduced the divide between priests and congregants. The priests now became the main worshippers and the congregation was merely a passive witness. Priests and congregants were even physically separated from one another by a railing and the altar. No longer were they meeting as equals -- a huge mistake, but a very intentional one.
Yes, they do. I know they mean well and theyre in the right direction. But shirley i answered before is right. Christ didnt come to start a new religion or church. The spirit of irganised religion is not the spirit of Christ [edit] and yes thats the old "war" between Catholic and Protestant. Been going since the church began. I'm protestant obviously
Not real Catholics, but they have to be mostly red pilled. Rome didn't do all the damage though, most came later. Regardless, more will realize that we will have to return to sacraments at homes, like it all began.
All the while worshiping God.
