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 sad thing is, that when you are required to either take the mark of the beast or seal of God, you will choose the mark (all of you will). You’ll do it because to NOT take the mark means agreeing with EGW and the SDA church (which you will never do, even to save your eternal life). You will be guaranteed to lose your salvation. No coming back from that. Think of the terror you are going to experience just before you have to make that choice. I wonder how funny you’re going to think you are then, Skippy.

Two things, lil buddy:

1) I and my brothers and sisters in Christ are already sealed by the Holy Spirit. Had you ever read the Bible you would know that.

2) Remember this:

My post 2158: You believe God actually gave her those visions regarding masturbation?

Your Response in Your Post 2161: I’ve never read any of it.

My Post 2164: You think it might be important information for you to know since you’re a member of the SDA???

Your Response in Your Post 2166: I follow the bible and the bible only, something you will never understand.

Now you post this: “You’ll do it because to NOT take the mark means agreeing with EGW and the SDA church (which you will never do, even to save your eternal life).”

You seem to have a problem with nailing down what you believe, and you want others to hop around with you. We believe the Bible, Phil. Not your prophetess who said she couldn’t even understand the Bible without her “visions.” If you have ever read the Bible that should be one red huge flag. You would know the danger you’re in.

Get saved. Time is short.

The thickest statement posted on the Internet since the day it began. Probably since people chiseled words or pictures on stone. And even if they were stoned on wine and mushrooms, I don’t think they would have chiseled out something as stupid as your statement. It has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. It’s so dumb I can’t even laugh at it.

I’ve got a dessert with my name on it. The floor is yours, Phil. Go on and post your ludicrous statements, you and your false prophetess’ beliefs that turn God’s scripture to lies, and then post all of the maniacal laughter you want to post.

Go chisel it in stone if that makes you happy.

Hardly anyone is going to read it anyway.

Yawn.

Again, Jesus declared all foods clean.

And your little ‘muh translation’ argument is full of shit because I read the New Testament in the original language.

Yet another reason that I obey the Law better than you do, I might add.

Now that? That is REALLY funny.

Phil comes onto these threads strutting and boasting about how much better he is than the rest of us, only for SouthernClaire to spank him with the fact that she not only knows more about the Bible but ALSO more about Seventh Day Adventist theology than he does.

And it was... what, maybe two weeks ago that she didn’t even know or care that Seventh Day Adventism even existed?

Meanwhile Phil is 4 generations in and is painfully ignorant of his own church’s theology and history.

Gold. Comedy gold!

LOL, brother. Everything you posted is truth; I did not know but a smidgeon about the SDA. Sabbath rule was it. Never knew about all the other things, and I’m still learning more everyday. Hopefully our posts here will prevent some precious uninformed soul who happens across it from joining the SAD organization, even if Phil chooses to reject the Light.

Posting and reading at 7:26pm?????

Shouldn’t you be soaking in a cool barrel of water?
Head wrapped in towels?
Feet in a bucket of warm water?
Your wig hung up for the day?
Avoiding reading?
Empty stomach??

You sound like you are not following your oyster-gobbling prophetess Phil!

By the time the Mark scene arrives, those in Christ will already be in Heaven witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll (see Chptr 5 of the Revelation: we are the redeemed by His Blood).

I want you to be there too, cultist, but it is on you. God will not have any respect for the striving to keep the law when He has made the provision of Jesus keeping the law in my place in order to redeem my dead spirit.

My Lord and Savior took my sin debt and paid it on the cross. The moment I believed that and put my trust in Christ alone I was born again and His Spirit began abiding in my come alive spirit. And God has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me, forever. Thanks be to God, I am a redeemed one. That is a status you cannot earn or retain in your flesh.

I’m sure you already know this so I’m posting it for the sake of others who may not, MHG.

Phil’s organization believes themselves to be the remnant of Israel and, therefore, apply to themselves: Rev_12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

- - - -

Rom_9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Rom_11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rev_11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev_12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev_19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

So much Scripture embedded in your last paragraph.

Good summation!

...and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Though they tend to be a bit lacking in this.


(And a LOT lacking in the OTHER things that EGW has been documented doing.)

Ahem. That’s one way of saying it, Els.
