you are a cult why do you try to poison us with your lies ? Yhwh would bellow at you that there is only one church , when God sent Jesus down he said to him establish a church on earth , we all know he did not mean gather many churches together & let Christianity bicker about which one is the right one , & it is clearly obvious your church is not the one obviously you have not read the bible or you would have known , a passage in the bible tells us exactly what that church is the passage reads " & the called them pastors "also the bible refers to the pastors as elders , so think about this the catholic church calls it's leaders priest the protestant church calls it's leads reverend or minister the Baptist church calls it's leaders pastor or elder , so it is obvious that & clear although some can't or refuse to see he meant the Baptist church

all religions are wrong they got half of what they claim from the old pagan religion, wicca an earth and nature religion which worships Zeus father of sky and Hera mother of earth, and they wrongly imprisoned and executed witches solely because they were afraid of power witches would never use to harm anyone, which is where the occult and voodoo came from they created it to use to prove that there was black dark evil magic, we are a geltle people
