That’s pretty chilling to hear them come out and straight up tell everyone that they want them to be good little sheep. Nevermind a personal relationship with Jesus. I still don’t understand how any intelligent person with reading comprehension can read the Bible and still follow catholicism. It flies in the face of reason.
Well, the devil seeks to kill, steal and destroy, and in his more subtle means masquerades as an angel of light, purveying a perverted version (in varying degrees) of God's Truth, even using a mixture of much truth along with critical deception, which appeals to the natural man who wants the comfort or religion, obeying much light but will not go all the way to The Light given to those of broken hearts and contrite spirits dran by the Redeemer.
May we not lose the humility of heart and dependence on the Lord Jesus to save that we had in regenerate conversion with its profound basic effects in heart and light. And also make our consecration of obedience commensurate with the illumination of His word and the revelation of what God would have us to, which He gives to those who obey what they do know they should do.
