Do you want me to post the list of Popes?
Spare me!
**Spare me!**
LOL!
Come on! Where's your gift of longsuffering at??
I've asked it before, I'll ask it again: WOULD SATAN SAY, "Oh, I wouldn't go that far in deceiving souls. No, I would not have started to make my own version of Christianity for at least a few hundred years or so. No sir, I wouldn't even think of claiming credit for preserving the scriptures.
"I wouldn't think of claiming a line of church leadership either. I mean, who do people think I am, an angel of light? Yeah, I've got plenty sidekicks, but you surely don't think they could be transformed into ministers of righteousness. You see, they would have to do some really nice things..... for..... people.... to.... think.... they.... are....ministers.... of.... righteousness."
Satan attempted to replace God in Heaven. He has and will continue to attempt to replace anything that God has made, and claim it for his own. I believe the devil started making copycat Christianity within hours of the birth of the church of Jesus Christ, probably using someone that said, "I was there in the upper room", when in reality that person was two blocks down the street. (kind of like the politicians changing their dialects as they pander to the people, "Look at me, I'm one of you!") Thankfully Satan's time is running out.
Come Lord Jesus.
Caught my mistake, sorry.
