I don't know it just seems right. Let the heart guide you and have faith in the LORD, Jesus, the Lamb of God etc, and he will take you to where you want to be, in this life and the next. I just received two things I have asked for today. Ask and you shall receive thanks for messaging me.

Because the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are wrong.

The Protestant Church is responsible for the crisis of spiritual life in the west!

Because it's how I was raised... like if I were raised a different religion, I wouldn't switch to Lutheranism. But I think it fits my beliefs the best anyways so it works out.

I'm not a protestant and never was. Although at some point in the past I was more keen towards Calvinist ideas.

The Protestant Church is responsible for the crisis of spiritual life in the west! What is the Protestant Church? And what crisis are you talking about?

All we see now in the west, is the result of a crisis of faith! Since pastors do not zealously oppose these processes, it means that the church is asleep! The Orthodox Church will be the only church that will come out against the Antichrist! She has the experience of keeping faith in the era of communism, the Turkish-Arab invasions! Is there such an experience with the Protestants?

The reformation was not a mistake. The Catholic Church wanted complete domination over God’s word and Christendom. You use Martin Luther as if I follow him or as if he is an authority. Though I should expect you do to this because your authority is men and the traditions of them as that is what the Orthodox Church bases many of its practices on today. Christ and Paul both warned of following traditions of elders, you should take heed to their warnings. Also, God did not want there to be one church and a hierarchy to rule and govern them all, He wanted many churches so that in the event that the root becomes corrupted by men, the corruption doesn’t trickle down to the branches.

Is there such an experience with the Protestants? Define the “crisis of faith”. And to say it is all we see is to generalize. Surely you cannot be the judge of who and who doesn’t have faith. And to say there are no pastors that are against mainstream mega church preachers is ignorant. Sounds like the Orthodox Church is more of a political entity.

This is what the Bible says in places - Revelation 16:12! Pay attention that here we are talking about armies that will go against the beast and Bible say that this is the Wrath of God! It is also said that Satan will gather all its forces against this army ... The names of these kings have long been known ... more accurately you will tell about this the prophecy of Hudson Taylor and Bob Jones! As for Bob's prophecy ... it's absolutely true! I know more about this than I'll write here!

Of course, it was necessary to change the situation in the Vatican, but as we see from the history the Reformation only warmed up the religious wars in Europe! But such is the sad fate of Christianity in Europe. Christ warned that it will not be easy! As for Protestantism, there are some denominations that are relatively normal, but others cause anxiety!

The reformation didn’t change the Vatican, the Catholic Church is still wrong today, they’ve always been wrong. So you’re back tracking on your generalization now? You shouldn’t view Christianity to be a political entity. It isn’t. It is used as one, but it isn’t one in its roots, it’s truth.
