Don’t read the Bible much or know it much I see.
Matthew 16:18
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
CHRIST’S TRUE CHURCH (ALL BELIEVERS THROUGH TIME) WILL NEVER BE CONQUERED.
I was talking about Churches like the Catholic Church and other so-called Christian entities....actual believers in Christ won’t be “conquered” because they will end up in Heaven - but we will all suffer as Satan infiltrates the various religions. We can’t stop what’s happening any more than we (they) could have stopped Jesus from being crucified - it was part of His purpose for being here and what’s happening is the purpose for His return.
I’ve read/studied the Bible enough to know that too many religions are still stuck in the Old Covenant because it gives them a perception of power over their members - where the New Covenant gives us a direct line to Jesus and makes priests look like the Pharisees Jesus railed against. Too many stopped being teachers of Jesus and went all “glitz”. I’ve heard many calling for the return to Latin for Mass - I grew up listening to Latin Mass and knew the right sounds to make at the right time but hadn’t a clue as to what the priest and the congregation were saying. I left the Catholic Church after being “confirmed” (by Bishop Fulton Sheen in Rochester NY in the 60s) because I hadn’t heard/grasped the message. It took a Bible-based non-denominational church almost 40 years later for me to hear the message clearly stated enough for me to give myself to Christ and then be baptized for real - as a sign of my belief instead of as an ignorant baby with some “priest” supposedly saving my soul with water and oil.
