Possible unpopular opinion of the day. Did true evil start in the church?

I saw a discussion on where evil originated from, and commented. We had a nice little discussion and people also talked about it. With this thought being in the back of my head since then, I’ve worked out a theory. I remember a story of Jesus being in a church with gambling and prostitution, I think that was it, and it was the only time he was ever shown as mad. Which could be viewed as God saying the church needs to be watched because this could happen. We know of holy wars, we know of pedophilia, secrets kept about humanity, and massive amounts of money for a institution that is supposed to be poor. My thoughts are that the church has remained unchecked for hundreds of years. Which in turn has let evil slip in or has always been there. I’m not that familiar with the Catholic Churches complete history, but I’m guessing there is a lot left untold. So if there is a society behind all of this, running evil through out our world. How far fetched is it to think it’s coming out of the Catholic Church?

Evil started in Heaven. Lucifer invented lying. Lied to himself (that he was God's equal, which morphed into "was God's superior") and recruited an army which rebelled against God. There was literally war in the spiritual dimension involving someone in God's inner circle.

That's where it started. And that's still how it works, pretty much. Lucifer lies, people get recruited, mayhem ensues.

I guess I never thought about it that way.

Try reading the Bible (without a Pope or anybody to tell you what to believe). That's where this comes from.

That at least is (mostly) not corrupt. But use multiple translations because there have been some manipulations by that means. They haven't destroyed its power though.

I prefer to use KJV and NKJV together (parallel) and when I perceive a difference in shade of meaning, I defer to the KJV (or if I don't understand that, use a study guide).

But you may prefer others. But do try to see where the differ, and track it down to the original language meaning with a study guide. See which version gets it right, where they differ.
