"The rest of your post is way out with context no reason to even bother with it as it's got no substance"

Because you know FULL WELL that you CANNOT refute it with the Bible.

The reformation timing, is absolutely irrelevant, that is NOT the falling away in 2 Thes 2, that, according to your own very Questionable records, along with the CLEAR Bible evidence, began somewhere around the 100's, and maybe a touch before.
The Bible speaks of these things, while the Apostles and Book writers, were still around, CLEARLY you lot become part of (HUGE part) of these ones being spoken of.

From where you claim your base began from, the False Rock, blows you out of the water in an instant, from the get go, as the Rock IS, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God and the Bible well and truly smacks this in your face, by saying that Jesus is The Rock.

No way would Jesus say, the gates of hades will not prevail against the likes of the man Peter, or the men that followed him, as the brutal hundreds of years show, prevailed upon the CC's BIG time.
Jesus's words in this regards, means ZERO prevailing of any kind and that could only be on - That Christ it the Son of the living God, not God, not God the Son, not God in the flesh, all those statements, is the gates of hades prevailing, Big time and totally against the reason that the Book of John was written for.

The clear reason that you have 30,000 plus the CC's, is because most of them have the created CC's false, key core roots, rendering the Advocate Void.
That is the clear and obvious answer.

There are Numerous links (similarities) between the CC's and Muslims and in fact, it's quite staggering and a fact, truth.
