Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12.
There are fallen angels with authority over the nations. America is not an exception.
It’s long, but read this.

Oh dear, can't read what is too long.
The NT Church had one office of priest, & that was held by Christ for eternity.
Elders/overseers only have authority in their local congregation.
The Apostles have no successors.
There was no Pope.
That's a summary.
All, sorry for another somewhat lengthy post. Please read. It’s very important.
The Catholic dogma of Apostolic Succession is unbiblical and demonstrably false. Catholicism teaches that Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom and that among other things, he and the apostles were given the authority to appoint apostles to be their successors. And we see from Acts 1 that they did in fact appoint a successor to Judas.
So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, - beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.
Acts 1:21-22
And note, Catholicism through countless apologetics essays cites this passage as biblical support for apostolic succession.
But note also, these omit the key qualifications explicitly cited in these verses. Luke records that they said that the apostle chosen to replace Judas must be one who accompanied Jesus, beginning with His baptism and continuing throughout until His resurrection.
So yes. Matthias satisfied that requirement. But did Clement, Did Ignatius, or Papias, or Justin Martyr, or Ignatius? No. But even Paul, a Pharisee, was a witness to the ministry of Jesus as we see he held the cloaks of those being martyred.
And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.
Acts 22:20
See also Acts 9:1-2
So apart from the original 12 and including Matthias and Paul, we see NO subsequent appointment of ANYONE who met those biblical requirements.
Thus we are necessarily forced to conclude that the Catholic dogma of Apostolic Succession is unbiblical and demonstrably false.
One of the biggest problems Catholicism has is that historically it just made stuff that is directly contrary to scripture and then they tell us it’s apostolic tradition.
But as we show how absurd some of these teachings are, they can’t abandon them because they also teach the pope and the Magisterium are infallible and once it becomes part of the official teaching of the church, they’re stuck. So over the centuries, Catholicism has accumulated so much baggage that it has just become a disfigured monster of false dogma and heresy.
Dear Catholics,
Mary was a sinner and redemption comes only through Christ.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Rom 3:23-24
Paul
The Treasury of Merit or as it is also called, The Treasury of the Church, is the unbiblical, made up, contrived, spiritual storehouse of the excess merit of Jesus, Mary and the saints. With regard to the saints, Catholicism teaches that they had more than enough merit to enter heaven on their own when they died, such they had to spend no time in purgatory and their excess merit has been stored in this treasury. CCC 1477
Now why this matters is because when you go to confession, and the priest grants forgiveness, what he’s really doing is reaching into this treasury to draw out some of this excess merit and apply it to you to absolve you of the sins you confessed. He also tells you that your works of penance can be used to stone you of your sins.
They likewise believe that when you give to the church to ask for prayers for your dead loved ones in purgatory, the prayers serve to draw from the excess merit stored in this treasury and are applied to your loved ones in purgatory hastening their purification and reducing the time they have to spend there.
This is one of many ways the Catholic Church uses to draw people into itself. They are wolves teaching false dogmas to unsuspecting sheep, drawing people into themselves exactly as Paul warned.
I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.

Islam is an invading army. No more mosques. No more Muslim politicians. They are not for this country, they want to turn us into a 3rd world country. Look at France. Look at the UK and Germany.
Dear MAGA Friends,
Looks like we were wrong. I, among many, assumed that during the Biden years, when multiple 10’s of millions of illegal aliens invaded America, millions and millions of Muslim invaders were forming sleeper cells to rise up and cause riots in America. But as we see in Texas and other states, that appears not to have been their plan.
Instead, when they came in, the plan was to build large Muslim communities complete with mosques, homes, schools, sharia law, and everything else they needed to grow and dominate local communities.
Just ask McKinney TX residents to see if they’re concerned about it. You’ll see.
This is the kind of ‘Christian’ the Catholic Church produces.
Seems like Jesus said something about this. Why yes. He did.
A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
Mt 7:18-20
I believe this to be true. There are no unique arguments or defenses using Scripture among them just rehashed Catholic talking points. It's the one thing that enrages and saddens me about the Roman Catholic institution. They are helping to send millions to hell with their road blocks to the Gospel, and their false teaching and authority.

Catholicism has done this since day one.
They've hidden the Bible from the layman for 1500 years to control the narrative that they wanted.
When the bible becomes available to the masses, the Reformation is born because they lost the narrative.
Today, they still trying to keep the narrative by telling Catholics what they "ought" to know and not encouraging them to actually study the Bible for themselves. Many times they're told they can't correctly interpret the Bible so they don't try.
It saddens me to have to say this, but the more I post about Catholicism and the more responses I get from Catholics, the more convinced I am that they have absolutely no idea whatsoever what the Bible teaches and all they know is what the pope tells them to believe.

To pray to the dead you must read it into the text about praying for each other while completely ignoring the entire rest of the Bible's teaching on the realm of the dead, communication with the souls of the dead, etc.
It's paganism, pure and simple.

Ilhan Omar, (or whatever her name really is), is thoroughly corrupt scum. She’s pure trash. She needs to be denaturalized and deported immediately.

This guy is a flat out lying fraud. Unbelievable.

Perfect. We agree. Inclusivism as you described it is not what Catholicism teaches.
Catholicism does not teach salvation by works. Or being a good. Salvation is by grace alone.
There is one God in essence who has revealed Himself to us in 3 persons.
God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit
The Trinity

You have traded an ox that chews grass for a virgin who cannot hear you. In both, you seek a savior who is not Christ.
The Catholic Church teaches a doctrine of salvation called Inclusivism. The idea is that as long as you pursue God consistent with the degree of revelation you’ve received, you will be saved anonymously through the sacrifice of Christ. This is to be contrasted with Pluralism which teaches that everyone will be saved and Exclusivism. Now consider the following 2 questions.
A. Is Christ the only savior?
B. Is it necessary to have a personal relationship w/ Him to be saved?
Pluralism answers No to A & B. Inclusivism answers Yes to A & No to B. Exclusivism answers Yes to both A & B.
Which view is correct? To see, turn to Acts 10. There we begin w/ Cornelius. He is a Centurion in the Italian Regiment. Acts 10:1. So he had 100 men under his command.
Luke continues that he and his family were devout and God-Fearing and that he gave generously to those in need and prayed regularly. Acts 10:2. Now the term God-Fearing was a technical term Luke used. We see it in Acts 10:2.22; 13:26,50; 17:4,17.
It is used to describe pagan Greeks/Romans who had forsaken the futility of paganism and had come to faith in the God Yahweh of the Jews but had not undergone full conversion. For men, the principal obstacle was circumcision.
So, all this background to note that if anyone should be saved anonymously by virtue of sincere devotion, prayer, good works and pursuit of the living God Yahweh, it should be Cornelius and his family. Thus Inclusivism should end it here.
But there’s more. One day he had a vision and was told to send for Simon Peter in Joppa, which he did. The next day, Peter returned to Caesarea with Cornelius’ men. Acts 10:23b. When he arrived, Peter found Cornelius and his family waiting for him and he preached to them. Acts 10:34-43. As he begins it sounds like Peter is describing Inclusivism and that’s good enough. vs 34-35.
But ss he preaches to them, the Holy Spirit comes on them and they all spoke in tongues. vv 44-46.
So given this clear sign that they heard, believed, were indwelt and thus now saved, Peter says they should all be baptized. vv47-48. So Peter stays with them a few days then returns to Jerusalem. vv 10:48b-11:2a.
When he got to Jerusalem, the believing Jews say: ‘Peter, you ate w/ them.’ v11:3. Well did the Spirit know what He was doing when He gave Peter the vision in 10:11-16.
So Peter explains to them everything that happened. He talked about his vision where the sheet came down with unclean animals. He talked about Cornelius’ men arriving and he told them what Cornelius’ men told him. This is where is gets important.
Cornelius’ men told Peter that Cornelius had told them, that the angel in Cornelius’ vision, told Cornelius to send for Peter for: ‘He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.’ Acts 11:13-14
Get that? Read it once more.
Let me state that in plain English. The angel told Cornelius: ‘dude, you’re a good guy. God loves you & He wants to honor your heart which pursues Him. But you’re not saved. You need to hear the gospel, so send to Joppa & get Peter. He’ll come & share it so you can be saved.’
So do you see that? Cornelius was a great guy who loved Yeshua but he didn’t know Jesus and that was a critical shortcoming. Inclusivism is not enough. Cornelius had to hear the gospel and believe before being indwelt by the Spirit and being saved.
That means Exclusivism. They had to hear the gospel & respond in faith. Then upon believing they received the Spirit & then they obeyed in Christian baptism.
So to summarize, if Yes is the correct response to question B, Pluralism & Inclusivism aren’t biblical.
That leaves Exclusivism as the only biblical teaching on the means of salvation. Jesus is the only savior and you must respond to the gospel by trusting in Him to be indwelt by the Spirit and saved.
