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.......

Phil, do you now believe that the “Testimonies of Jesus” came from God Almighty? Do you eat any meat, butter, fish, fowl? Do you eat supper?

Do you believe any meat-eaters will be in Heaven?

As an SDA member, you can’t just ignore these most important questions. If no meat-eater is to be translated, what does that say about you? Or, was Miss Ellen lying about God giving her the “Testimonies of Jesus Christ?”

Your and every other members’ eternity depends on the “Testimonies” being true and being followed.

Also!

Are you soaking in both cool and warm water in the evening?
Are you avoiding wearing your wig at night?
Are you avoiding reading at night?
Avoiding feather pillows?
Avoiding warm beds?

I don’t have to remind you how not doing this rightly will inflame your lascivious appetites and bring every manner of disease upon you …

…according to your oyster-sucking, space traveling, plagiarizing prophetess!

Really lame insults from Phil too.

Guess that’s what happens when you don’t get proper protein.

I mean, he at least could have started calling me Luircifer, but that would have been witty, and wit is something SDAs just don’t have.

Besides, I’d have probably adopted the nickname just to piss him off.

LOL. Good points, Luircin.

He called me “Skipper” due to a question I asked him about a captain being one degree off course. I am now going to use it as a nickname because I actually DO like it!

“[A]nd wit is something SDAs just don’t have.”

No love, joy, peace or laughter has ever come across in any of his posts that I’ve read. Those are wonderful gifts of The Spirit, and how blessed we are to have them!

His wicked and disgusting attempt at humor was the amputation of arms and legs, when most of his other attempts were about Ravi Zacharias, OF COURSE. I guess we can see a little of his darkened heart and dead soul with those posts.

Your and every other members’ eternity depends on the “Testimonies” being true and being followed IF they are truly from God.

After much exposure of the SDA, you now claim:

Philsworld to SouthernClaire

“I follow the bible and the bible only, something you will never understand.”

I don’t know how you can claim you’re going to Heaven if: 1) Your prophetess was a complete basket case and lied about all her “seeing” and calling such “seeings” the “Testimonies of Jesus,” which lunacy is more than clear to anyone with eyes to see; or 2) You lie about following only the Bible (now that there’s more exposure of the ludicrous SDA), which is what we’ve been telling you over and over again that that’s what we do, but it wasn’t good enough for you then. All of a sudden, it’s now good enough for you and you want to claim to do it.

You think Ellen’s in Heaven after smacking pork and slurping oysters?

You’re going to have to come to grips with the reality that either the Bible is right or the SDA is right. As shown from the above taken from AMPU’s post, one is the wrong way.

You confess Ellen. We confess Christ. You need to make your choice now that more truth about the SDA has been shown to you. You get to choose only one, Phil.

HAH! If Phil followed the Bible only, Phil would have followed the Word of God Incarnate when He declared that all foods were clean!

Wrong again

Mark 7:18 (KJV) And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Mark 7:19 (KJV) Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

"Those two translations do not say the same thing. The King James does not have Jesus declaring all foods clean, in the biblical sense. It is saying all food passes through the body and is expelled. Jesus is not removing the prohibition on eating unclean animals. Modern translations like the NIV that say Jesus declared all foods clean are in error, and are intentionally mistranslated in order to justify eating the biblically unclean animals."

No, you were mocking EGW. Now swallow your medicine. Calm yourself. Take an ice bath in a barrel. Sounds like I hit a nerve. What’s the matter? What’s good for me isn’t good for thee? LOL.

The SDA’s “interpretation” of the bible is right. Your interpretation isn’t. You practice abomination in breaking/teaching against God’s commandments.

Your quote contradicts this

1st Timothy 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man,

First let me say, I think the human female is the most wonderful creature God ever created. However, I respect the word of God. Why was, or is Ellen G White allowed to do exactly the opposite of what Paul preached? That should be our first clue. From there, we go on to her false doctrines. She was a hot head. I fear for her soul. She is in Hades.
I know there are horrible cults, started by men too, like Joe Smith and Charles T Russell, but we can refute them another day.
