Thankfully,

like their theology,

their attacks have not a shred of grounding in foundational reality.

They want so badly to be Israel. To be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, who have been called out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Pet. 2:9. The people of God, the apple of His eye and a blessing to all nations. They want so badly to believe that Jesus Christ has given them the power to bring His Kingdom to fruition so He may reign and they will be a Nation of Priests to all the world. They want it so badly that they are willing to give up what He has promised the Church the Body of Christ. And would rather think of themselves as suffering Spiritual Israel.

They gave up what was freely offered to them. And exchanged it for a lie.

"Catholics, Get Ready to Suffer" is a true-ism. When the tribulation hits, the delusion that is sent to them will show them what "suffering" truly means. They won't accept the escape from the wrath of God through the gospel of the grace of God and His promise to us that we are saved from HIS WRATH. God's offer of reconciliation to man, 2 Cor. 5:14-21. So the rapture is out, it seems. That leaves the tribulation saints. And that is focused on the Nation of Israel. So they miss out there, too.

But they are "suffering" "suffering" at the hands of all who just don't understand that THEY are God's Chosen People. They have been "infallibly" informed...

"their attacks have not a shred of grounding in foundational reality."

I knew a guy who used to sputter and fume about others not being in contact with reality. He was in contact with people from another planet, though, so everyone just let him sputter and sort of grinned at one another when he got wound up.

I hope the shock treatments helped him some because last I heard they carted him off when he started shouting about an alien invasion being underway. Oh, and by "they", I mean Police and EMS folks, not "them".

have a nice day
