, 16:54, August 8, 2020→Proofs that condemnations of Catholic doctrine are false
Keep in mind that what people say about Catholic doctrine is not necessarily true.<br>Keep in mind that the scandal of bad and sinful behavior does not invalidate doctrine. <br>Keep in mind that [[hypocrites]] are found in every Christian denomination. Their bad example has never proved that [[Christianity]] itself is false.

:Read '''[https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/14913/what-happened-to-the-book-of-the-law-in-the-time-of-josiah What happened to the Book of the Law in the time of Josiah?]'''
:Text: '''2 King 2:8:''' - ''I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD.''
:Excerpted:
::King Josiah ruled Judah over a period in which the re-discovery of YHWH overall was in vogue. For the past 57 years, two very wicked kings had ruled - Manesseh and his son Amon.
::Of Mannesseh, it is said:
:::''and he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, yaccording to the despicable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. For he rebuilt the high places zthat Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. And he built altars in the house of the Lord, ... And he burned his son as an offering* and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
::The wickedest king of Israel presided over a huge decline in the worship of God. In such a regime, especially if new altars were being built in the Temple, it would not at all be surprising if the Book of the Law was "filed away" and forgotten.
:'''The book of the law could not have been found in the house of the Lord without it not having been ''lost'' in the house of the Lord ''first''.''' This describes what has happened to the Roman Catholic church. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Trump 2Q2Q]]</sup> 12:54, 8 August 2020 (EDT)
