"If your church is not being undermined by the Devil and his minions, then maybe the Devil doesn't consider it to be a threat."

So a church infested with Sodomites is proof that we are following God? How did the Sodomites get into positions of power in Church hierarchy in the first place? Could it be that the Roman Catholic Church left God's Word and put more emphasis on the infallible Popes? Celibacy is more than a burden. It is demonic!

I Timothy 4: 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Jesus Christ condemned the heavy hierarchical church calling them Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:6 & 15). Christians have one priest and one intercessor, Jesus Christ the righteous. Pastors are merely shepherds, pointing the sheep to the one that loves them and died for them.

The "infallible Popes" have said repeatedly that homosexuals, even if chaste, do not belong in the priesthood!

The not-very-infallible American bishops, on the other hand, knew better.

Protestants have hundreds of millions of personal Jesuses; each one perfectly manufactured to the precise specifications of the individual.
