Jesus and The Bible portray Protestantism perfectly!
MK 3:22-30 tells us that Jesus and His Disciples were attacked by His enemies. “The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul,’ and ‘By the prince of demons he drives out demons.’
~
Today, Lower-level Protestants attack The Only Church Jesus Spoke Into Being. They say it is run by “demons”. Many of them insist: “Catholics are ‘anti-Christ’!
While they say that Catholics are “anti-Christ” what do they do? Tens of thousands of Protestant groups have “divided” themselves from This Word of Christ!
“And 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.”
~
The warning Words of Jesus continue! “Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables.” Jesus asked a profound question: “How can Satan drive out Satan?”
After asking the question that no one could answer, Jesus explained to the ages:
“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him.”
~
Catholics realize that the enemies of Jesus are always divided. At that time, they were divided into Scribes and Sanhedrin; Sadducees and Pharisees; Herodians and Romans. All of us can name a half-dozen of the “divisions” of His enemies!
Those groups were unified in killing Jesus. In the next third of a century, by 70 AD, they were again divided. All were destroyed by Romans. Romans were “less divided” among themselves!

Then, Jesus gives us advice about ourselves, our families, and our nations.
“But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.”
In History, we see people, families, and nations “tied up” by division. Divisions like divorce weaken people and families. Larger scale treason destroys nations. Division allows a “strong man” or nation to be “tied up” and “plundered”. In every age, those who are divided are “tied up and plundered”!
~
In every age, the enemies of Jesus focus on dividing, weakening, and plundering their neighbors. Catholics realize: If we are Baptized, we may better resist sin. Where few people are Baptized, people, families, and nations are more easily divided.
They will be plundered!
“Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”
Those who keep people of any age from being Baptized are “guilty of an everlasting sin.”
