‘Mrs. Greene's statement about leaving the Church is as enlightening as it is saddening,’ commented Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute.
(LifeSiteNews) – Following criticism of comments she made about the U.S. Catholic bishops, conservative firebrand U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that she was raised Catholic but left the Church “with great sorrow” when she had kids because she had concerns about the left-wing hierarchy protecting abusive priests.
“With great sorrow, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, I stopped attending Catholic Mass when I became a mother, because I realized that I could not trust the Church’s leadership to protect my children from pedophiles, and that they harbored monsters even in their own ranks,” the now-evangelical said in a lengthy statement.
The Georgia Republican was responding to the Catholic League’s Bill Donahue, who slammed her for suggesting in an interview with Church Militant’s Michael Voris that “Satan is controlling the Church.”
“The Church is not doing its job. And it’s not adhering to the teachings of Christ,” she added.
“It’s the Church leadership I was referring to when I invoked the Devil,” Greene clarified on Twitter. “Just so we’re clear, bishops, when I said ‘controlled by Satan,’ I wasn’t talking about the Catholic Church. I was talking about you.”
“The Catholic Church must throw out these monsters instead of lecturing the people its own bishops have driven away,” she continued, blasting the U.S. Catholic bishops as “some of the worst in the world” and “scheming bureaucrats in miters.” It was the “bishops’ wickedness” that drove her out of the Church, Greene said, and her own refusal to “submit the spiritual and physical livelihood of my children to these monsters.”
Greene, who is sometimes referred to as “MTG” (à la “AOC”), went on to say what many faithful Catholics who.......

——>Are you kidding me? He was of the patriarchal lineage, Phil.
Yeah, Columbo, I know. My point, AGAIN, is that God’s people ALREADY knew His laws. THEY WERE NOT NEW. God’s people knew and kept His laws BEFORE Sinai, JUST LIKE ABRAHAM AND JOSEPH DID. Then, after 400 years of captivity, after God’s people came out of Egypt, after many had forgotten God and his laws and ways, God restated/reintroduced everything to them at Sinai (and Moses wrote it all down)
God’s people keep His laws, always have, always will. Those who don’t, practice lawlessness, and will pay the ultimate price.
What do you think God is going to do to people who claim to be His, and yet openly hate His law and teach others to break it?
Oh, I forgot, you believe in the Ravi doctrine....Sin all you want and still get into heaven. So, you can’t really break his laws in the first place then, right?
I guess that somewhere, somehow, people exist who need to be told to not bump their sister.
That said, please explain how the SDA came up with their 11 Commandments.

stop talking in riddles
“What do you think God is going to do to people who claim to be His, and yet openly hate His law and teach others to break it?”
Dunno, and I’ve never told anyone to break His commandments. What’s He going to do with those who believe they are righteous enough by their own works to enter Heaven? What’s He going to say to those who sneered at His precious Son’s blood and counted it unworthy to attain salvation for all who believe?
Can you understand the following, Phil?
By Faith, or by Works of the Law?
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Gal 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Let these words sink in, Phil:
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Faith. Believing God. Taking Him at His word.
Ah, but you’ve got your works. Good luck.
Where in the Bible do I find these 11 Commandments, Phil?
Why does the SDA pick the pork prohibition out of everything else? Why that particular one to make your Eleven Commandments?
The Catholic Church reduced the 10 Commandments to nine.
Your cult, the SDA, makes 11 Commandments of it.
Can God not get it right for Himself, Phil?
Leviticus 11:46This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
No, not part of the 10 commandments. But, it is a “law”.
How about these?
Galatians 5:19-27 (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Or these?
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
These too?
Revelation 21:
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Indeed it was a law to the Israelites. But why that particular command? That’s what I’m after. Why does the SDA pick that one out of all the rest? Why not the following?
Lev 12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
Lev 12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
Lev 12:7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
Is that not equally important to you and your SDA? If not, why not?
“Leviticus 11:46This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
“No, not part of the 10 commandments. But, it is a ‘law’.”
Why on earth do you all not follow and obey every bit of Leviticus? Who decided which ones to throw away and which one to keep? Who did that?
——>Can you understand the following, Phil?
Of course I can...
Faith Without Works Is Dead
James 2:
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
You should memorize this one.
Well, if said laws are CEREMONIAL, they were done away with. Why don’t you do some research.
Must be nice to get to pick and choose which ones you like an which ones you don’t. Who decided the clean and unclean laws applicable to foods was still in effect BUT the other laws were not?
Did Miss Ellen pick the laws to keep and make the 11th SDA Commandment? Was it a committee? What? You know what I’m after and you refuse to answer.
