We don't need masonry, red and purple gowns, statues, etc., to learn the Word of God. All we need is the Word itself.
It is nearly the end of this age and we will be there at the end (we certainly will not have withered), and a few of us will not be fooled by antiChrist. We'll see who is easily fooled and who isn't. Are Catholics ready for the antiChrist? Will any Catholics be able to resist him? I'll bet of those Christians that resist antiChrist, many more will be of the kind like me who study with a bible and a few friends rather than those who are in some big congregation in a building decked out in pretty colors.
And how do you learn the “Word of God”? Who Teaches? Who do you think selected the Books of the Bible? They didn’t drop from the skies. They were chosen by the early Church Fathers (Popes), some of whom were contemporaries of the Gospel writers.
Yes, all we need is the Word of God, but it preferable to worship in a Gothic Cathedral with stained galas windows and magnificent sculptures than in a shanty, in my experience )I have done both). Man wants to express his love for God with his talents. Thank goodness for that.
I got your Anti-Christ right here genius.
Luther is spinning in his grave and begging forgiveness for the evil he unleashed.
