**Get a Bible, start reading and remember the Pope is just a man just like anyone else. You don’t need to get cleaned up to take a bath. Jesus did it all at the Cross! Amen.**
You are swallowing someone’s lies. Catholics read the Bible. Good grief, I have taught Bible studies on
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John and the Johnanine letters
Paul’s letters from prison
Romans
Isaiah
Revelation
Genesis
Exodus
Women of the Old Testament
Women of the New Testament
Psalms
and I know I have probably forgotten some.
Yes, Christ died on the Cross for us, but even in today’s Gospel, the thief on one side of Christ rejects and reviles him, while the other thief scolds him and asks Jesus to remember him when he comes into his Kingdom.
Because the Good Thief, did his part (and we all have to do our part) he was instantly forgiven by Christ.
Now — what are you going to do to feed the hungry and poor at Thanksgiving? Or will you reject Christ’s law to “love one another” and do nothing.
Once again — WE ALL have to do our part.
And, please, do not ever say that Catholics do not read the Bile. Have you ever noticed the Daily and Sunday Readings that I post? I bet Catholics just might read more than most non-Catholics!!
I did forget some:
Acts of the Apostles was the first book we read. In it — the Apostles (Peter as well) receive the Holy Spirit.
Yes Peter denied Christ three times, but he also repented three times. (Or do you ignore that part of the Bible?)
“Once again — WE ALL have to do our part.”
Here, while you’re working your way to Heaven........
“and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; Isa 64:6
or
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With
that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. ...” John 19:30
I guess that wasn’t good enough for you. YOU are going to present God with your Bill and say “Ok,- Pay - up Lord”
Thanks for making my point. If the Catholic Church ever preached Salvation they would put themselves right out of a job in the Confessional Booth.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me” John 14:6
Like I said “ You don’t have to get cleaned up to take a bath. Let God be God......please.
