Marjorie Taylor Greene: I Was Raised Catholic, but Wicked Bishops Have ‘Driven Me Away’ from the Church
LifeSite News ^ | 5/4/22 | Claire Chretien

‘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.......

The truth is not in you. Ken Johnson’s scholarship is too far above your lying, taunting, badgering cultic head, so your false witness against him and the Spirit directing his work is to be ignored. God will deal with you.

You are serving the spirit of antichrist. None of your gaslighting will be upheld. Your effort to demean my own readings is just more of the deception spirit in you.

Being spiritually unable to recognize truth, I am not surprised a cultist mind calls Ken a false teacher.The truth is not in you.

The Jews deduced from Scripture to not eat meat with dairy.

I wonder who is correct. The Jews or Miss Ellen?

So, is the 11th Commandment, “thou shalt not eat pork or catfish?” Oh, woe is me. I guess I am up a creek, since I eat both. 😀😃🤔 Oh well, somehow, I will have to survive. Do you think I will weather the storm? 🤭 How will that affect my investigative discovery, er, excuse me, my investigative judgment. Ok, what is it? discovery or judgment? I get the two mixed up. 🤔

Actually, as the vision showed Peter there is nothing unclean in foods. And Jesus said what goes in the mouth does not defile the man, it is what comes up out of the heart (lke the cultist accusing Ken Johnson of being a false teacher) that defiles the mouther. The cut mind is incapable of comprehending the scriptures so it twists themn to support the false religion of the seventh day adventists.

The same Jews that placed untold restrictions on the 7th-day-Sabbath with their traditions? Those Jews?

Exodus 23:9The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

Deuteronomy 14:21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

Exodus and Deuteronomy forbid (command that we don’t) boil/cook a kid in his mother’s milk. There is no prohibition to eating meat with dairy (yummy piece of cheese, glass of ice cold milk, etc…).

You sound like a Pharisee.

So, can I assume you are saying the Jews are wrong and not the SDA?

Actually, it certainly does not.

Acts 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

BUT GOD HATH SHEWED ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANY MAN COMMON OR UNCLEAN.

The vision has nothing to do with clean and unclean foods. Did Andy tell you that?

Of course they are wrong.

--->And Jesus said what goes in the mouth does not defile the man, it is what comes up out of the heart (lke the cultist accusing Ken Johnson of being a false teacher) that defiles the mouther.

It is mind-boggling that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, And, to what lengths you and your false teachers will go to purposely advocate breaking God's law and teaching others to do so.

Matthew 15:1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Matthew 15 has absolutely nothing to do with clean and unclean foods. Jesus was talking about traditions of the elders...eating with unwashed hands. Peter was obviously present because he asked Jesus to “Declare unto us this parable”. And, he also OBVIOUSLY knew after this discussion that the PARABLE had nothing to do with clean and unclean foods, because of his statement later in Acts 10 (and 11)…. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

God SANCTIFIED the meat of clean animals. Unclean meat was not even considered food for God's people. It was certainly NOT sanctified or ever has. Eating Unclean meat is an abomination unto the Lord and those who do it will pay the price.

I hope it’s all worth it. I’m thinking not.

Isaiah 65:
1I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

2I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

3A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

4Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Isaiah 66
15For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

17They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

Then you would be thinking correctly sir, since I didn’t read your posts, cuz it’s against my religion. 😃 You can believe whatever your little heart desires, but I am not buying it. Now, if you will excuse me, I will go and prepare for my investigative discussion. 👎
It’s almost lunchtime here, and I have a nice roast pork ready. Mmmm good. It’s not lechon baboy this time, since that is a whole roasted pig on a spit. We only have that on special occasions. 👍

Gaslighting is not a lamp lighting ritual. But tyhe spirtit of antichrist must deny truth, so we have a couple of servants to the spirit of antichrist do their master’s bidding, spew confusion.
