BREAKING: There has never been an office or role of "Pope" in the Bible.
It's a power structure to place men between us and God. That ended when Jesus died and the veil in the temple that separated God from us was torn. Jesus is our only mediator.
Re-write the bible? As if the Catholic church hadn't?
Indulgences, praying to men called Saints instead of God, praying to Mary instead of God, priests called to celibacy when Peter had a wife, the entire concept of purgatory, of a pope -- a human supposedly being the infallible vicar of Christ on earth.
None of that is in the bible.
If you want to say Martin Luther was only a man and nobody special go ahead and do so, because that is the truth. No man is special before God, everyone will be held accountable for their failings.
The Vatican and all its residents with their human trafficking, rape of children, the satanic resurrection statue, the auditorium in a shape of the snake, they aren't going to have any easier time on the day of judgement.
And as far as Q calling out an Archbishop, let me remind you that Trump hugged a gay pride flag. Trump surrounded himself with pastors, not priests. You've read too much into that letter.
I’m aware that Trump married a Catholic. I’m aware that he retweeted Viganos letter during “the BLM summer of love”. In this letter, Vigano calls out the Masons. Jesus’ original church of 2000 years still stands. Meanwhile there are thousands of denominations of Protestantism.
Do you believe that God is the author of confusion?
Which 4,000 denominations of
Protestantism do you belong to?
Do you believe that there are 4000 different ways to get to heaven?
Do you believe that Christianity suddenly began and 1517 and if so,who preserved the Bible and assembled it up to that point?
Do you believe that our Christian society is better off now post reformation & post Masonic “age of enlightenment?”.
Have you ever start to consider that if you are wrong with your interpretation of Christianity you are putting your salvation at stake?
Do you believe that Martin Luther a man that belonged to the secret is Society of the Rosie cross, A man that wanted to remove books from the Bible, A man who ended up marrying a nun, is in heaven?
I don't understand why you are stuck on this kind of checklist-style sectarianism so much. If you have the Holy Spirit within you, you would be able to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God in other people.
I didn't even know what a denomination was until long after I became a Christian. I am happy to read works by Catholics and Protestants alike as long as it is evident that the writer was (is) also a follower of God. It is difficult for people to speak convincingly about spiritual matters in a way that conveys God to other people, so this is not exactly the hardest thing to do.
Why should people have to adhere to a bureaucratic system to be saved? Aren't you underestimating the power, mercy, and divinity of God?
God creates order, certainly, but we also live in a fallen world. Every church has its problems (and has had them, since the days of the apostles), and the Roman Catholic church is no exception. Sectarianism existed back then, too, in the form of the Jews scorning the Greeks and compelling them to get circumcised or they couldn't be Christians.
I read a verse lately that perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on the subject you raised. Mark 9:38-42.
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Your questions about 4,000 denominations misses the point. Ever find it kinda strange that Christ battled the Romans and yet so many accept the Roman Church?

Did Christianity suddenly begin in 1517?
Did you know that Martin Luther was a Christian Kabbalist, alchemist, and member of the Rosicrucian Order? It’s even in his coat of arms.
Not sure why folks are quick to dismiss 2,000 of Christian civilization & tradition to follow a man who wanted to re-write the Bible.

I read a verse lately that perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on the subject you raised. Mark 9:38-42.
I believe the Protestant denominations in the World Council of Churches have reunited with the Roman Catholic Church behind the scenes.
