God unites, Satan confuses and divide.
That's why there are so many denominations each claiming their own right. If God has not been faithfully preserving Catholic Church for 2000 years, it won't be in existence for 2000 yrs.

True... but it's ultimately man's denial of God's Word that causes denominational splits. People like to pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to believe, which is why there are so many denominations of Christianity.
Some denominations delete parts of the Bible. Some actually add to it.
I'm not sure what you're saying about the Catholic church in the last part of your statement.

So why has God not been preserving Judaism for 4000 years then? (the Chosen People according to the Bible) and that's before you look at Buddhism or Hinduism or Taoism or Shintoism or......... how long a list of long running religions do you need?
And just because Islam hasn't been around 2000 years doesn't mean it is any less valid in it's beliefs - you believe what you want to believe.
Blaming Satan for Man's freedom of choice and the ills in the world is a very conveient way of saying "It wasn't my fault, I had no choice" BULL!

Satan confuses and divides? Well then how do you explain the thousands of religion that exist in the world? So are you saying that every religion out there, besides Christianity, is evil and possessed by Satan? So Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Shintos, and everyone else out there is possessed by Satan? Do you have any idea how illogical and untheoretical your question is? You basically just insulted most of the world and personally persecuted everyone who is not a Christian. Think before you speak, just as Jesus would.

True. But the Catholic church has gone through changes over time, by papal decrees and new doctrines added on. Overall Protestantism is closer to what Jesus taught and the Bible.

Why is it that when you first meet a priest of the Catholic Church, the very first thing he does is ask you to disobey Jesus?
Matthew 23:9

If you speak of the Roman church, it has not been around for 2000 years. Especially in its current form. The Roman church as you see it was a much later invention.

Sorry, I only believe in one God from which everything both good and evil comes, as it says in Isaiah. God says he creates good and evil there, and that there is NONE besides Him who does these things.
God and Satan as co-creators, one creating good, one creating evil, is two gods. That's idolatry.
