The truth about the church that Jesus founded.

Jesus told the apostles, "upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." At the Last Supper. He also said, "this is my commandment to you, love one another as I have loved you." He also said to John and James "he who is not against me is with me." Another thing he said, "I have many sheep that are not of his pasture."

The rock upon which Jesus founded his church is the papacy that is St. Peter and all the popes who have followed him. He knew from the beginning that the church would be attacked, split splintered into hundreds, and eventually thousands of sects. He knew when he founded his church that he was putting it into the hands of fallible men, men who would make countless mistakes down through the centuries.

Jesus founded his church to teach people infinite love, "love your enemies, and do good to them." And, sadly, from the beginning Satan has schemed and plotted and has done everything in his power to destroy the church.

How Satan works.

From the very beginning, Satan has used lies, division, accusations, false ideas and every possible deception to destroy the human race. From Pentecost on Satan caused men to doubt, or not believe at all. He instilled in some of the early Christians false doctrines, or as the church calls them, heresies. He did this to divide one group of the church from another, which eventually resulted in the breaking off of many branches of the church, such as the various Eastern schism’s.

From the very beginning Satan wanted to be worshiped as God because he thought he was better than God. He would like to rise up and take the throne of God. He wants the whole world to bow down and adore him. Down through the centuries. He has raised up many false prophets and leaders which come under the heading of antichrists. Around the seventh century. He was able to possess a man who founded a truly anti-Christian religion. Since then there have been many men who have been types of antichrist, such as Napoleon, Karl Marx, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse dong. Pol Pot. And many others. He has founded organizations for the purpose of his own worship, such as Freemasonry, Illuminati. He has been to a more or less degree, the hidden ruler of most nations and societies. He’s truly is a formidable adversary.

I will add more to this as time goes by.
