How could the kingdom of God be reduced to this sort of violent, nationalistic tribalism? Has the church progressed at all since the Crusades?
Indeed, I wondered how this tribalistic, militaristic, religious celebration was any different from the one I had recently witnessed on television carried out by Taliban Muslims raising their guns as they joyfully praised Allah for the victories they believed “he had given them” in Afghanistan?

My observation and study of scripture and history leads me to the conclusion that the Catholic Church was not the outgrowth of what began in Jerusalem in the first century AD . The true church went into obscurity as Satan attacked the woman who brought forth the man child. This along with other factors reduced the number of Christians to a very small number. GOD does not compromise when it involves His truth for no lie is of the truth, therefore any organization that teaches lies cannot be of the truth, cannot be of GOD. By their fruits you shall know them but also by what they teach. Prophecy no where indicates that the world near to the second advent will be in unity through diversity of doctrine but rather that diversity is the confusion or Babylon people need to come out of. I do not not place the label of Christian on organizations that have bad fruit and strange doctrines. The Holy Spirit of the Father teaches only truth. Let’s not call a heart a spade or a diamond a club, use the gift of discernment to test the spirits.
