I love feast days. Paul says to me that if I want to celebrate do it but not to seek justification which is through Christ. I love going to mass as often as I can and hope to attend it more. I love my hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I don’t study the Bible because I have to but because I love it. There’s so much anger and negativity in these posts from our Protestant brothers and sisters. Why would we not want to spend more time honoring Jesus? I love my family and so enjoy hanging out with them. Jesus is my brother and I want to be with him in every way I can. The Sacraments give that to me as does the Bible. Why should I push Him away and sit in a dark room grumbling that I don’t have to do this or that and I’m just saved and that’s all there is. How sad and narrow.

Amen.

How can ANY Christian be so absolutely sure that NO MATTER how he lives his life he will go to heaven because Jesus saved him? If that is so, why are there moral absolutes? Why is there even SIN? If Jesus saves us all WHY bother to obey anyone laws or moral absolutes?

Lucifer went to hell and took ONE-THIRD of the other angels with him? Why didn't God save them? They used their free will to disobey.

Why would WE go to heaven if we use our free will to disobey God?
Does Jesus also save those who choose to follow Satan?
