The apostle Paul served the churches amidst incredible suffering and hardship. We have absolutely
no history of any damage to churches due to his ministry. Contrary to his service, we have the work of the Judaizers in the 1st century and the work of operatives from LSM today -- endless stories of damages inflicted upon churches and members alike.
Both of these evil workers used their false authority from some supposed headquarters to lay waste the churches and any who would stand up to them. Except for the extreme measures they took during the dark ages, the same destructive work can be attributed to papal operatives.
Another characteristic of false spiritual authority is to always build up one's own ministry at the expense of churches. The question we must always ask is simple, "
who is serving who?"
