Do all the real anons here all believe the Catholic Church is evil?
>>5357178 The first picture is an artists view of what a nuclear bomb would look like.The cross Pope JPll is holding- crossbar is bowed -symbolic of the weight of sin.
Pope Benedict is giving the I love you sign= American Sign language.
The staff Pope Francis is holding is the same as Moses…. The staff reminds us to the brass serpent erected by Moses in the desert (Numbers 21). When the Israelites were bitten by poisonous snakes (being the sign of sin and earthly / demonic wisdom) the brass serpent that was lifted up was a type of the cross. Jesus Christ “became sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21) for us and triumphed over the poisonous and lethal power of sin. Hence, the snakes on the staff recall this story and the words of the Lord in John 3:14: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” None of you are really doing real research and your bias is overriding what is true.
Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. There are evil people who have been trying to destroy the Church since Christ instituted it to no avail. If the plan here is to take the Church down it will not succeed. Purifying it of the evils that have infiltrated it, those who participated and those who hid it will be done, and this I agree must be done!
Agreed, and when it does rise back up it will be purified and much smaller! Many prophecies concerning this. God's will be done!
Jesus was pretty clear about His Church. "Simon Cephas answered and said, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah: flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee also, that you are Cephas, and on this rock will I build my Church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it" (The Diatesseron 23 [A.D. 170]).
The New Testament contains five different metaphors for the foundation of the Church (Matt. 16:18, 1 Cor. 3:11, Eph. 2:20, 1 Pet. 2:5–6, Rev. 21:14). One metaphor that has been disputed is Jesus Christ’s calling the apostle Peter "rock": "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18).
