:::::*What is meant by "principalities and powers in heavenly ''places''?" The most obvious example is the [[Sanhedrin]]. Another good example is the [[Magisterium]], or [[Vatican]], or [[Roman Curia]] or whatever name you wish to call it. Verse 10 speaks of dark and Satanic forces taking over religious or "heavenly ''places''."  IndependentSkeptic's misuse and misunderstanding of this verse is a testament to this having occurred.

:::::The whole problem with the [[CBP]] is that it was built on the assumption that Protestantism, after 500 years, abandoned the Word of God in the same way as the Roman Church did over 1500 years.  [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Trump 2Q2Q]]</sup> 11:57, 12 July 2020 (EDT)

:::::Principalities and powers in heavenly ''places'' is the same as ''spiritual wickedness in high places'', which we have in both the [[SCOTUS]] (no further comment needed) and the Magisterium, which not only denies access to the Word of God, but thinks it can replace the Word of God.

:::::IndependentSkeptic: Now, if you accepted my translation of rendition and adapted it to you patchwork above, it would read something like this:

::::::"And it is through the Church that the manifold mystery of God might be made known to the governments and corporations that corrupt religion, the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look,"

::::::which comes closer to actually making sense.  But I don't believe you intended it that way. I think you really mean to deceive. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Trump 2Q2Q]]</sup> 12:50, 12 July 2020 (EDT)

:::Stop embarrassing yourself. You know nothing of scripture, and have no spiritual understanding. You have never been born of the spirit. You only mislead and deceive people. You are a fraud.
