St. Augustine wrote of “Gods made by men”, false idols of Egypt and Rome. “Gods invented by men” distracted ancient people from God and enriched the priesthoods of their makers. In our age, 43,000 Marketing Plans have taken denominational form as variations of Protestantism. Are Protestantisms “Gods made by men”?
Each of the “Gods made by men” reflected their maker’s deepest desires. “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” cried out rioters whose livings were threatened by the first appearance of The Catholic Church among them.
He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies founded One Church. Jesus said one time, to one man, “Verily, verily I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.” His fulfillment of the ancient prophecies was so miraculous that most of the “Gods made by men” were replaced by The Only Church Jesus Founded.
His Church ruled Christendom during “The Thousand Year Reign” described in Revelation 20. Five hundred years ago, “the dragon was unchained from the abyss” and fragmented that reign when Luther began the line of professional Protestants. Today, Protestantisms are “Gods made by men”.
The newest “Gods made by men” are the tens of thousands of pale imitations of His Church. Each was invented by a vain, Protestant man, or committee, with a Marketing Plan.
More than 43,000 Protestant Marketing Plans are “Gods invented by men” that have taken denominational form. Each of those denominations are modern versions of “Gods invented by men”.
How do we know? None of them were founded by Jesus. All were invented by men. All of them have changed their teaching to align with earthly pressures.
Catholics worship God in The Only Church He Founded. Others do not. Most do not realize, or want to realize, that such Protestantisms are “Gods made by men”. They have been led astray, as in every age, by those whose incomes depend on money obtained by those whom they convince to worship false idols.
Today, we must ask: Are Protestantisms”Gods made by men”? One thing makes the answer clear: 43,000 groups of them are crying out their own, modern version of “Great is Diana of The Ephesians!”
