Satan tried to destroy the church from the outside for many decades and found the more he persecuted the church, the larger it grew. So instead of persecuting the church, he married into the church to corrupt it from within!
Not being hard on the people. The government is like every government in the world. Mostly corrupt and doing the bidding of the Bankers. The same people that led Germany into WW1 and WW2 will be the same that take us to WW3 if they can!
We have a direct connection to God through the Holy Spirit. That does not negate all the prophesies of Jesus sitting on the Throne of David ruling the world. Gabriel told Mary the Jesus would sit on David's throne and the government will be upon His shoulders. When we have the Holy Spirit we can pray directly to God the Father without a Priest to intercede. Jesus is our High Priest and He will rule all the nations with a rod of iron when He returns!
The 39 Books of the OT were VERIFIED by nine other than our Lord Jesus. I figure since God is in control, He saved the NT writings from being destroyed and had them assembled for our learning. I'll stick with the Books we have in the Bible and please try and avoid deception!
I do believe about 75% are together right now. It's that other 25% causing problems!
