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.......

From reading his posts, not mind reading. His distain (yours too) for the law of God is clearly evident in his posts.

This from a follower of a heretic who taught it was Satan who bore our sins and not Christ.

Who taught that Christ was the archangel Michael.

So... your opinion about Scripture is sifted by your adherence to heresy. Ellen has been found wanting - as have you based on your full belief in all she (plagiarized) wrote.

God does not change.

——>So... your opinion about Scripture is sifted by your adherence to heresy.

Heresy = Definition of antinomian: a believer in the doctrine that faith alone, not obedience to the moral law, is necessary for salvation.” Websters New World Dictionary.

“Doctrine of the Nicolaitans.– The doctrine is now largely taught that the gospel of Christ has made the law of God of no effect; that by ‘believing’ we are released from the necessity of being doers of the Word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Christ so unsparingly condemned.” E.G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7, 957, and Signs of the Times, Jan 2. 1912.

Matthew 24: 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

2 Peter 3:17: Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

God does not change.

God both relents and has different dispensations in his dealings with humans.

We only know each step that is revealed and those steps that are foretold.

As examples:

Adam and Eve were *only* to not eat from the Tree in the Garden. They had no knowledge that a nation would be formed or that a Law would be given.

Abraham was given and *unconditional* covenant.

Israel was later given many rules and not just one.

The Law was later completely fulfilled by Christ, who died for all the sins of those who come to saving faith. Scripture now says they are dead to the Law, now sealed by His Spirit as a down payment. Now in Christ, now positionally seated in the heavenlies next to Christ, now part of His Body, now filled by His spirit and new life.

"4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter." (Romans)

God did not change His mind in any of those dispensations. He carried out exactly the plan on His mind during that dispensation of His grace.

Now, as a self-revealed follower of the heretic Ellen, who mistakenly believes they are Israel, I doubt you will be able to see that, and it's not my job to convince you of who God is.

There are lurkers here who seek truth and I respond to your posts as an opportunity.

You wrote you believe the false-prophet ellen traveled to Jupiter, saw a tall, unfallen race, and that Enoch was there on Spring Break, so...

Enoch was there too? Holy moly, it’s worse than I thought. Do they believe that Satan and Jesus are spirit brothers, or is that the other cult only? 😀🤗😂🥓🥩🦪🐄

“Dead to law,” “Not under the law,” etc., etc., are all over the New Testament. A person would have to intentionally not see it. Seems cults always have other reading materials to keep them occupied and as a replacement for the word of God. It seems to work, too. “Hath God really said? Look over here in OUR book to find out,” where the org takes ten pages to explain why it doesn’t say what it flat out says.

God does not allow sin at any time in the history of humanity. God does not change.

Christ is not repelled by sin.

He came to save sinners!

He knew and knows just what to do with sin and with the sinner.

He has already died for the sins of believers.

[not satan]

It. Is. Finished.

No barrel-soaking needed.

Of course not really. Just in Ellen’s overheated mind.

But Phil said he believes it all.

Did Ravi write that in one of his books? Absolute Jibber Jabber.

Paul says otherwise.

Hebrews 10:26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

...wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

You should pay very close attention to verse 29...

29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

What God has done for you, and you CONTINUE to stomp all over Him.

Of the SDA cult, I have studied and learned a lot
About the false doctrines that EGW has taught
In up to her neck
In this train wreck
My goodness, what on earth has EGW wrought?

It is amusing to watch you quote scripture, not having any idea what it means.

Plus you believe the heresy that satan bore sins…
