Again, the main difference between Catholicism and Christianity is that Catholicism revolves around a Church that operates no differently than a secular government. Church and state are merged in Catholicism. Christianity, according to the Bible, is incredibly submissive and is inherently passive. Given the contradictions between Hitler’s own speech, it’d be unwise to call him a “Christian”, in fact, he’s often inaccurately referred to as an atheist.
I find it interesting that you declare the Catholic Church to be not Christian based on the New Testament, which was, as it happens, assembled and defined by synods and councils of the Church:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synod_of_Hippo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Councils_of_Carthage#Synod_of_397Note how the Council of Carthage, in addition to listing the agreed-upon books of the Bible, recommends that the martyrs be honoured on their feast days, and clearly mentions priests. In other words, when the New Testament was assembled, certain Catholic teachings were the norm throughout the majority of Christendom.
Those were ecumenical to a degree, not exclusively Catholic, and were before the Catholic Church had its monopoly on biblical interpretation. Ironically, the Catholic Church throughout European history was the greatest enemy to those who actually wanted to read the Bible.
What do you mean by “not exclusively Catholic”? I could do my research, I suppose, but I don’t really have the time at the moment.
Just to be clear, I was always against Lutheranism and Calvinism as well. Lol.
Fair enough.
At the time of the assimilation, There were still many leaders of the congregations who were sincerely trying to interpret inspired Scripture, rather than twist it to suit the needs of the political elite.
The Canon existed for hundreds of years before the final compilation. The Epistles and Gospels were lovingly kept, carefully copied and shared with the other bishoprics throughout the empire. Doubtless one of the criteria for selection was the existence of multiple copies long held in great esteem. For the snakes to do otherwise would invite a furious uproar and rejection of their supposed right to lead.
But these mystery cult Luciferians had other reasons for DISIRING the True Canon. That type of character is a psychopathic liar always seeking a sick thrill from the ability to twist and deceive. The more powerful and True, the greater the depraved satisfaction from destroying it and the people who yearn for it. Also, they know that the more attractive and right, the more adherents they can ensnare.
