Numbers prove nothing. The Mormons get numbers. Joel Osteen gets numbers. Creflo Dollar gets numbers. The Muslims have huge numbers. Never allow earthly success to fool you. Satan does his best work in the arena of religion. You must base your thinking on Scripture or you will run off the cliff.
Or rather Satan does his best when people argue over small details rather than see the “big picture” that God gives.
Pope Franics is doing the Lord’s work. God Bless him.
