My mentioning the Catholic church was in response to someone else posting to me about the Catholic church and what the RCC wants from him.
This entire thread was one group sniping at the other.
Here we are on a thread, about Satanists openly worshipping Satan, in THIS COUNTRY, founded on and to God, and those of us who follow Christ are taking time to snipe each other, instead of being interested in the real issue.
I don't care if you believe in no instruments in church or have a full on rock concert. I don't care if you raise your hands, jump, wiggle and shout hallelujah, or sit quietly in a pew.
Whether one believes the wafer and wine turn to flesh and blood is for another discussion.
Satans in the front yard, burning a cross and we're arguing about who can throw water on the fire and if they'll throw it correctly.
Christians of every denomination should be rallying together, strapping on each others armor, watching each others back and going to war.
Welcome to the religion forum. That's how we do.
So, now I guess it's YOUR turn to snipe at me because the tone of this thread isn't up to par, in your opinion. Lol.
If Christians could "RALLY TOGETHER" there wouldn't BE 30,000-40,000 DIFFERENT Protestant denominations.
But, I assume that bit of logic eluded you.
There are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world.
How many are there of EACH of the 30,000-40,000 Protestant denominations are there? GOOGLE has to list them by denominations, as the very denominations differ as they travel from pillar to post.
Google cites 800,000 Protestants in the world but they have to be listed by the 30,000-40,000 DIFFERENT denominations. That gets the numbers fairly low.
Remember, there are Anglicans ONLY because Henry VIII wasn't allowed to keep marrying new women (Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.) to get his son. The realm was eventually ruled by a queen ANYWAY. All that death for NOTHING.
But, now the "head" of that church is Queen Elizabeth. She is the "popette." Someday it will be Pope Charles and his wife, Camilla, Mrs. "popette."
