Should this be any surprise to you. This has been systematically going on for decades. Please read this article by Shoebat, highlights, and other postings I've done too. Please share.
Shoebat sums up not a rise in fundamentalism more than that it's act of faith.
"Yes, it is true there is a decline. But the problem is not a “rise in fundamentalism.” When people use the term “fundamentalism” when discussing religion, it is almost always meant in the pejorative sense. “Religious fundamentalism” has been propagated to the public as such to conjure images of foolishness, ignorance, and blind obedience. With respect to the people who say this, much of this is indeed true, as there are many people, including people with good intentions, who act in ways that propagate ignorance or are just plain wrong but insist on doing so because they believe something is true without understanding why it is true outside of “I was told so.” Now while religion is always in part an act of faith- believing that something is true because God has said so- it is also inseparable from reason and the consequences of the belief can be deduced by reason and proved or disproven by taking a systematic look at how one belief accords or does not accord with another belief."
Catholic Church bring up the unity of "Faith and Reason." How a man/woman's actions are a direct product of beliefs and how they follow God, by accord of their actions?
"Likewise, and very importantly, the union of faith and reason provides a means for well-meaning people who may lack the intellectual capacity to understand detailed theology to execute the tenets of their faith in a way that is easy to understand, practical, and morally consistent."
The proper union of faith and reason has two results that "has limitless commentary and explanation of faith and being." Second is taking complex ideas and making it easier to follow with the fundamental beliefs and practices. The true fundamentalism is teaching and following the fundamentals of one's religion of detailed and specific beliefs made it easier to comprehend.
Back in 1909 the history of the inspiration of Fundamentals came to be was through an American Protestant essay "meant to outline Fundamentals of Protestant Christianity." Same time the Popes were writing the same way. This combined the idea of "Modernism," which is a Darwinism philosophy applied to the religion at hand and truth does change and for the religion to keep up with the times we live in to be more modern.
"This is not to say that certain changes were not necessary in so far as disciplines were concerned."
Yes, there were many problems in the Church that were naive to the real/contemporary world. Some churches and congregations even within the Nuns, they have lifted up some restrictions such as not wearing the habit at times. Some Nuns spend more time with families, than the once every three years, it's yearly or once every few months. Some nuns gamble and win big such as hundreds of thousands of dollars, based on membership with the casino/hotel accumulate many points and win free lunch, free stay at the hotel for 3 days and nights. Wouldn't anyone want to know their secret?
The Church has always been disliked even at the golden age of Christendom. This will keep persisting as foretold in sacred scriptures in the Bible until Jesus Christ's 2nd coming. Even though the discipline of the faith or instruction changes. The only thing you can't change is the "dogma" on the faith and morals, also known as God's word never changes since it has been revealed from God/Yeshua.
Brings up the essence of decline of how we understand, perceive truth and under what authority that determines our understanding?
Modernism is an attempt to "re-define moral truth on their terms and set themselves up as an authority based on their own assertions." From the last 500 year of Christian history showed the buildup and ideas that lead to the Protestant Revolution and eventually was brought to America in the 18th Century.
"Heresy has been a characteristic of Protestantism and has been with America since its earliest days."
Compares Catholics and Protestants of the chain of command and so forth.
The Catholic is far easier to understand, not just doctrine, but the chain of command and hierarchy. Shoebat stated: "Any deviations or disagreements with this done persistently and without a genuine attempt to understand is just heresy and can be easily labeled as so and dealt with accordingly."
Biggest problem with the Catholic Church that it wants to assimilate their faith into American philosophy. It's impossible and glad that Shoebat has said it before and reiterate. America is the Son of Freemasonry, are Anti-Christian, and under control of the Freemasons/Illuminati who are Satanic and run the Rothschild Central Banks. Heard of the phrase Every War is a Bankers War, doesn't matter who wins it's what's gained by the powers that shouldn't be. By the way, if the Catholic Church whose's Pope's are Satanic too, not only look at their hats and you find the Star of Remphan is Satan. If the Church keeps pushing, the "people who persist in attempting to do this find themselves placed into a Hegelian dialectic where they compromise parts of divinely revealed truth and if followed far enough, simply abandon the Faith in the name of “fitting in.” The biggest problem for the Catholic Church today is either simple ignorance due to decades of absolutely poor catechesis on one hand, or cowardice or apathy from whose who are aware of what the teachings are out of fear of social ostracism on the other hand."
The Problem with the Protestant Churches is there isn't any unity in their congregations except for hatred against the Catholic Church. They rejected the Pope and Authority of the Church, went their separate ways. Problem is they reject the "history of Christianity itself from Constantine until around the time after the Black Death because it is, like every heresy, a heretical anomaly that left the Church and attempted to start its own cult acting as its own independent authority."
Each of these Independent Congregations, started their own heresy of differences and interpretation of the divinely revealed teaching. Not only do they disagree with the Catholic Church, but with other Sects that don't follow the same wavelength as they do. Since, no one could settle or agree on anything. Thus creates more division and unable to reconcile. In each of the Protestant Wars for Centuries they fought against each other and creating their own division. Not only the Christian beliefs was settled way before the 4th Century. "In the name of “FOLLOWING THE BIBLE” and “REJECTING THE EVIL POPE,” these sects simply dug up old heresies, put new clothes on them, gave them new names and are parading them around as though they are teaching something unique."
Brought up this fact that the "Infamous Judaizing heresy that is common today among certain Protestants (and is the only Christian heresy explicity mentioned mentioned by the Bible too)."
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08537a.htm
Heresy is like just weeds in the garden or around your yard. If you don't rip out the root of the weeds, they keep coming back seeking to destroy the garden or a virus. As Shoebat explains, Once heresy becomes a major problem that remains "unchecked because it attacks the philosophical and moral underpinnings of a society, through which the subsequent structural weakening will cause a social collapse or decline if not fixed. It is the reason why notorious, unrepentant, and persistent heretics were put to death, not because it was THE EVIL CHURCH TRYING TO SILENCE BIBLE TRUTH, but because these people were, whether they were intending to or not (and often times they were intending) to cause a social and political revolution using religious discontentment just as the National Socialists today use racial discontentment or the International Socialists use economic discontentment to achieve the same end."
Not only is heresy is rejection of authority, like rebels, namely the Church. They couldn't identify who's the replacement authority? As a result, of the "spiritual anarchy," different sects fight each other for the winning prize, which is power. Any kind of peace they settle upon is through a third party acting as a broker of which always has been the Government. "As such, the churches are surrendering their traditional role as the “second estate” in society- the buffer between the people and the government- and make themselves vassals of the government itself, in which obedience to the Churches becomes obedience to the state."
The signature problem with the Protestantism and other heresies always lead to fighting each other in attempted to make herself a "National church" "based on some form of identitarianism, but with both paths leading to the same end of subjugation to the first estate."
Under Martin Luther's case, this created a "German Church" with a German god for a German people." King Henry VIII did the same in England, even though they didn't see themselves as separating themselves from Rome. Not everyone at the time agreed with him and were against him such as Sir Thomas Moore and plenty of others who wanted to remain with the Catholic Church. He declared himself the Church of England, because the Catholic Church refused to grant him divorce from Catherine of Aragon, who couldn't bear him a son, but a daughter instead. Eventually married Anne Boleyn in hopes of granting him a son, but had a daughter instead. That separation from the Catholic Church changed the face of England forever. As a result of the Protestant movement allowed each man to create his own and act within his own authority and appointee based on opinion, rejected historical and sacred teaching from the apostles, thus the downfall of Christendom. What Henry VIII did was made the Church subject to the will of the crown, because of what he desired instead of putting God and his Gospel first. Of course the rest is history, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Great points here let Shoebat explain:
"It is only natural that if being a “Christian” means obedience to the state, then in time one will naturally reason that there is no reason to actually go to Church because since worship of God is tied to social obedience, then one only needs to be “a good person” as far as the society is concerned and all will be well.
There is a tremendous amount of criticism today about the “church of nice” and the people who want to “good people” and not go to church. However, it is wrong to say the people who do this are simply malicious, because whether they understand it or not, these people see themselves as “good citizens” based on their following the social commands of the day. They see themselves as no different than Christians, except that Christians have a particular “club” they go to called “church,” whereas they want to go to a different “club.”"
Protestantism causes "the private interpretation of moral truth."Certain heretic promote the
"individuals or groups can make moral proclamations outside of the teaching of the Church."
Consistent theme is presented throughout history of why the Protestants ignore most of Christian history and what they do pay attention, they re-write their own perception of the past with "no way to justify their beliefs in the same way," then compared with the fact putting lipstick on a pig is not a person, period. Therefore, they complicated something is so simple, they twisted things around to fit their narrative for personal gain.
"Just as with the issue of nationalism, it is only a matter of time that if a sect can say they can define moral truth independently, then others will say they can do the same too." Due to the explosion/increase with Evangelical movement in the USA, there's a decline in Protestantism. Eventually will be forced to face the music that they "cannot hide or reconcile their differences, that individuals would appear and attack the institutions, creating their own “churches” to take their place."
What happened in Europe is mirrored to what happened in the US, acted with same criticism against the Catholic Church. As Shoebat explained "except the evangelical movement is formed around cults of individual personalities. People do not go to the Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopal, or Presbytarian churches so much any more as they go to see “Pastor Bobby Ray” or “Brother Jimmy Earl” at churches with names like “Cinema Church” or “The Gathering.” The reality is that these are for the most part Baptist and Pentecostal churches, and to a far lesser extent the Presbytarians that have re-named and re-branded themselves to try and make themselves relevant and attract new members, but as we have noted above are still in terminal decline long-term."
The same old Protestant revolutionaries point the finger at the Catholic Church as their "social point of leverage to form their own sects and ultimately pursue power over others." The Evangelicals go a different route using real heresies and divisions of mainline churches, not just forming their own churches and end up creating their own "cults of personality they can becomes famous, rich, and powerful."

False Ministries (2): Occult Hand Signs – Part 1
http://olivetjournal.com/false-ministries-2-occult-hand-signs/
Brings up examples of well known figures such as Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson, or Billy Graham, and plenty of others all of which that Shoebat doesn't bring up they are Illuminati members, Gatekeepers and False Prophets too.
Then brings up how "even a small-time minister in a poor neighborhood with a small and impoverished congregation can earn a six-figure salary." Why in poor areas in America that pastors salary is higher, "who is usually at a disproportionately higher income bracket with respect to his area or congregation that is funded by the tithes from his “church.”"
Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, etc. churches all are involved with pedophilia. Evil infiltrated churches and others too. Ever since 2002, with the Catholic church and others not just the corruption, but the pedophile priests, bishops, etc. they hide. All roads lead to Rome, headquarters are there who conduct Satanic rituals and other sick evil acts done to children and adults. It's sickening, no amount of money is ever going to change what happened, lack of accountability, involvement in cover-up, others trying to normalize evil and twist things around for their own benefit. These pedophiles need to be exposed and held accountable for all they have done. The Churches need to get their act together too for all of things they have done are not perfect, some good and bad. Protecting the bad, twisting scripture around for their own benefit, and some are formed of based off the bad is heresy big time.
Please know that each of us has a duty to follow and believe in God's Word/Law in his true church. No need to sugar coat it or twist things around for benefit. It's our duty to ask questions if we are stuck on something, no reason why you can't ask. If you feel that your Church has left certain passages/scriptures out and support sin such as Homosexuality, Islam, Pedophilia, and other things that one Church and Pastor does and another doesn't. Then, you have to seriously investigate and find proof with evidence in paper and capture on tape. Shoebat brought this up before and is called "Operation Whip." To learn more about this and why Protestantism on lack of hierarchy and chain of command, since they are independent and massive, lack of resources, take a look for yourself. https://steemit.com/christianity/@redpilljen2020/major-protestant-leader-admits-that-sex-abuse-is-a-far-bigger-problem-with-protestant-churches-than-with-the-catholic-church

Listen to what Shoebat states, what this does is creates chaos making people in their own mind believe what think that can form their own church, results of that are twisting things around, lack of authority, accountability in case they screw up, etc. are heresy.
"At the same time the structure of these heresies themselves change, the exodus of people will continue out of the churches because, using the same structure of logic, if a “Christian minister” can make himself an independent authority for moral teaching, why can’t some random non-Christian man on the street do the same? If as noted before the obedience to the “church” was obedience to the government, and if a man sees himself as a “good person” who conforms to the social tendencies of his day but does not go to Church, why can’t he, in his own mind, become his own “church” that he worships at, for as long as he understands that he is not “harming” anybody according to his own defined moral code, he is philosophically at liberty to do so?"
Quite frankly, it's not just Protestantism, is other false religions too, except for Christianity.
"Christians get upset when they hear Crowley’s words, and rightly so. However, the essence of Protestantism IS what Crowley said, because his teaching was to make oneself the authority for right and wrong. This is the essence of all satanism and evil, and is the sin of the Garden of Eden."
Shoebat wasn't saying that "Protestants worship satan, but the reasoning behind Protestant philosophy naturally leads to the decline and disappearance of Christianity to be naturally replaced with the Crowlean mantra of “do what thou wilt” because the anti-authoritarianism of Protestantism is the anti-authoritiarianism of Crowley. It is the same line, just different points on the line."
Please read up and watch the video on how one evil is condemned, but others are tolerated such as Homosexuality, which is one of four grave sins that the heavens cry out for vengeance. Yet, other Churches tolerate sin, most wouldn't question the Church because some are afraid of repercussions, etc. It's our duty as Christians, etc. to confront Evil, not become Evil. This video and article is about the DACA with immigration and how either way, President Trump is going to pardon and grant amnesty just like the other President's plus more, find out for yourself. https://steemit.com/immigration/@redpilljen2020/daca-is-nothing-special-same-people-complaining-about-immigration-are-same-people-who-believe-in-tolerating-homosexuality-in
Brings up that man/woman will always attempt to worship something. As the systematic decline of Christianity is filled by a couple of things such as Satanism. Meaning worshiping yourself, family, homes, things, homeland, race, and leads to essence of paganism. Due to the rise of Nationalism is tied with Paganism, those who runs these movements with license by the powers that shouldn't be are pagans themselves, promoting Paganism in their philosophy.
Shoebat brings out great points on the deception, how they mix truth with lies. The powers that shouldn't be use Hegelian Dialectic with Nationalism as solution to the manufactured problem. All predictive programming too. Those involved are more concerned by obtaining power at all costs irregardless for truth, they only care for themselves and personal gain as follows:
"Millions of people, including many Christians, are being deceived into supporting pagan ideas under the guise of “protecting their homelands from Muslim invaders” when as we have pointed out the reality is that the governments themselves have invited these people into their nations for the express purpose of causing destabilization in order to present nationalism and paganism as the solution to the problem which they created.
As we have pointed out, anybody who supports the paganism or nationalism is deceived because those at the top of these movement, just like the Protestants of old or many of the “new preachers” today, are not so much interested in truth or righteousness, but rather about getting power at all costs and making themselves the authority over the Church. It is a struggle for power at all costs with respect to none."
What these paganism/nationalism does is turn back the times of pre-Christianity. How each of these countries are in the bag with one another for NWO Agenda, increasing the Military Industrial Complex, every war is a Bankers War? How so-called leaders wanting to keep their power at all costs and seeking alliance with other countries just to stay afloat with Zionist control Israel with PedoSatanist SCUM Netanyahu seeking alliance with Russia to keep Turkey and others off their back. When ultimately they have to face the music for all Zionist Israel has done with supporting Homosexuality, ISIS, terrorism, false flag events, nuclear weapons, pedophilia, Satanic rituals, drugging and torturing children, and break down of family unit just like other countries such as USA, Western Countries, and more. Please read this and read the article by Shoebat.
First problem Shoebat brought up is Paganism and how it would be mixed with Christianity and Nationalism leading up to #NationalSocialism, which is heresy and wrong at all levels. The second problem that would fill the vacuum in society is Islam, which is final form of Christian heresy. Islam is a twisted evil cult. Brings up if all Christian heresies are unchecked, not weeded out, Islam as the weed will spread like wildfire. Brings up that out of Saudi Arabia that "Islam emerged was the dumping ground for Christian heretics and so the religion absorbed the practices and beliefs of these men."
Links a source of the Great Heresies of Mohammed. The few quotations Shoebat referred to are in the Shoebat article. https://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT
Areas that were once Christian are overrun by the Muslim world and have spread like wildfire. Shoebat brings great points here that some Christians don't want to put into the work, reject the faith, still seeking truth, want easy method of salvation, and assume too much. Each of us has to work out our own trials and tribulations. Islam temps people as the religion of loopholes thus makes excuses for immoral behavior with license to sin. Read it for yourself as follows:
"As we have noted before, Islam does not so much “conquer” areas as it fills a vacuum from which Christianity has either retreated or been evicted by the people, who have a basic knowledge of the religion yet reject its teaching and are still searching for some kind of truth, usually because they are looking for a easy means of salvation- they want truth and to be saved, yet they do not want to invest the moral rigor and work on their own.
Christianity forces a man to do this, for as St. Paul warns, each man has to work out his salvation and to struggle to do what is right. Islam promises a man salvation but as we and many others have pointed out, for each rule in Islam there is a loophole so much to the point that a Muslim can find an Islamically-compatible excuse for any kind of moral effort or rigor and a Islamically-suitable justification for any immoral behavior. It is a religion that gives license to license and promises a man eternity in this life that will continue to the hereafter with the acceptance of a few simple beliefs and the permission to mistreat others who are not Muslims if they so will."
All of these reasons are why the notorious heretics were put to death who attacked God and his Church. All of this done in the name of power always lead to "social discord, then spiritual anarchy, then secularism, then Satanism either explicitly by returning to paganism or implicitly by the ascent of Islam."
Best way to fight the apostasy, heresy, and all forms of evils is following the teachings of God's Church. Keep following God's word/law is a guarantee following the path of salvation. Not easy to do since it's following the Narrow Path of Christ. Keep walking in the path and persist there will gain eternal life. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of Mankind, whoever believes in him shall not perish, but will have everlasting life. Please read these links to learn more not just once saved always saved, working progress and maintaining it with accountability, responsibility, etc. Living in #SpiritualWarfare put the full armor of God and fight the forces of darkness.

This reminds me of the Twilight Zone Episode called "The Hunt" where an elderly man and his dog died by drowning. Later they are walking around and met a man on the road who wouldn't allow dogs in heaven and was told otherwise. The old man realizing and wondering what to do after being told he couldn't go where his dog goes is unbearable and will have all of eternity to think. While walking around and sat down by the fence, a young man with a plaid shirt came up to the old man and his dog told him that both man and animals are welcome in heaven. The first man he spoke to was a demon. The young man here, who's friendly to both of them, helped them escort them to heaven walking the very narrow path to heaven.
Shoebat Conclusion
"The wage of sin is death, and as heresy is the sin of pride and rebellion against God, it is only to be expected that “Christianity” would decline in America, for much of what America calls “Christianity” is just the repackaged heresies of the ancient world. The decline can be reversed, but it will only come from a true conversion and return to the one and true Faith, not by attempting to repair a vehicle that was already broken and is inevitably going to break again.
On a final note, the article mentioned “White Christians.” I intentionally did not discuss this aspect because while race has become a major topic of discussion today and for good reasons, the reality is that the decline of Christianity in America has nothing to do with race at all. Heresy is as just a blind to skin color and national affiliation as is truth, because ultimately the struggle is not between different ethnic groups, but between good and evil."
