It was a betrayal from which I will never recover. I'm still seething about it.

A Luciferian Pope. I'm inclined to believe put there by God so as to shake the truly faithful to their senses. To expose the sheer, complete and utter corruption of the Church. God is always in control. Even the bad, ugly and evil serves his purpose.

He cannot compel our faith in him. We choose to make the reforms he exposes are needed to restore faith in him, his laws, above man's laws. Church leaders have chosen to put their faith in man's laws above God's laws. To their forever shame and dis-grace.

But God is giving us these chances by allowing us to see through eyes that were open but not seeing before. Pope's and other leaders serving man, serving Lucifer I believe are there by divine intervention. To wake. Us. Up. So we pray up.

Anytime the State tells the Church what can be taught or when it can be open; The church can under the First Amendment of the Constitution tell the State to go pound sand. I’d argue that the Church has the moral obligation to do so. If the State chooses to use force to see that their edict is followed then the Church should find the right lawyer and sue the State for huge damages. If you waive your constitutional rights even once under the threat of force you will have waived them forever any time the State needs your protections out of their way.

The modern Church is blighted by the same money-changers in the temple that Jesus Christ noted. ALL of them - at the highest levels - are. With a few, local exceptions. They need a biblical cleansing.

"And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise."

— John 2:15–16, King James Version

"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

— Matthew 21:12–13, King James Version

- In Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47, Jesus accuses the Temple authorities of thieving and, in this instance, names poor widows as their victims, going on to provide evidence of this in Mark 12:42 and Luke 21:2. Dove sellers were selling doves to be sacrificed by the poor, specifically by women, who could not afford grander sacrifices.

- According to Mark 11:16, Jesus then put an embargo on people carrying any merchandise through the Temple, a sanction which would have disrupted all commerce. This occurred in the outermost court, the Court of the Gentiles, which was where the buying and selling of animals took place.

FF - This is the sad state of affairs in the Church today, across the globe, all denominations. Christian, Jewish, Islam, ALL leaders are completely and utterly bought and sold. ALL must be cleansed. Reform from within is utterly impossible; they are controlled by thieves in God's houses.

“Jesus is Lord , not Caesar is lord.” We are not apolitical ! As a simple, minimally educated Christian, I get this! I can’t express how incredibly frustrated I am with the leadership of the church. I shouldn’t have to be in the position of having to teach my church leadership scriptural truth! Thank you for this podcast!

"Where are all the Christians gone?

Jesus followers, so they preach,

Yet brazen singing the imperial song,

Putting love and truth beyond our reach;

Jesus weeps, he asks you, 'Why?'

There is so much truth,

And you choose the lie!"

terrible opening speaker -

the non-negotiables are outlined (based on the scriptures) in the Nicene Creed.

Sola Scriptura is key.

Eph 1:13 'In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,'

Romans 10:14-15 'How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”'

I'm 33 minutes into talk and haven't heard scripture or reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Preaching the Gospel is a definite non-negotiable.

The Council of Trent is a damnedable document and I believe it still stands. Dr. James White of

Alpha and Omega Ministries can help bring clarity to this topic. https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/

The Pope is spouting Universalism and needs tighter handling. Time for some popesplaining.

Excellent discussion - highlights - the state does not have the authority to close the churches. "To admit Caesar's right to close the church... is greater than the need of human salvation..." 'What are we conceding when we allow the state to close the churches? The priority of political mandates over divine mandates, of Caesar over Christ...' I am so thankful for this discussion. It makes the poverty of 'spiritual discussions' in too many congregations over the past few years even more impoverished. Thank you for providing this essential Biblical frame for perceiving the veil of appearances in our times and the need for deep discernment in the face of more promised pandemics in the coming years.
