Isn’t the entirety of Christendom justified based on the scriptures??
Just asking.
The Catholic Church could be the biblical anti-Christ
“Isnt the entirety of Christendom justified based on the scriptures??”
No, it’s not. Christianity is based on is based on the collective experience of the Christian community, beginning with the life of Christ. Scriptures are a record, written by men. The experience is paramount.
While that's a widely held and lovingly nourished belief among Fundamentalists and others, it's simply Reformation propaganda. The reason it hangs on and gets so lovingly fed is because it's seductive to agree rather than study and better still, it lets everyone ignore Islam which even Mooham himself thought was from Satan until he was granted enough goodies to just not worry about little matters like that any more.
READ the Koran and then tell me where the anti-Christ will come from, don't quote the traditional money making easy stuff that is always good to conspiracy theorists. You want a conspiracy? Consider why Islam was totally ignored by the great authors spewing prophecy books by the hundreds in favor of Rapture and anti-Catholic theories right up until 9-11. Ratzinger has said more against Islam since he became pope than have most of the nitwits who make a living selling prophecy books.
There is plenty written about Islam by early Church fathers so why was that always ignored in favor of whatever propaganda came with the Reformation? Come on. Read the damn Bible and pray, don't eat the baby food passed around at the Church Gimmie More.
