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.......

More than likely, it will be ignored like every other truth about his cult put before his eyes. Like this one from Uriah Smith’s, “Looking Unto Jesus.” Too bad it wasn’t “Reading the Bible About Jesus.”

“[T]he death of Christ and the atonement are not the same thing. And this relieves the matter of all difficulty. Christ did not make the atonement when he shed his blood upon the cross. Let this fact be fixed forever in the mind. This is not denying the atonement, which is the world’s hope, but only adjusting it to its proper place, where it will not conflict with other great truths of the Bible.”

And:

“The parallel between the earthly and the heavenly sanctuary has been sufficiently drawn to make at once the application. The antitypical atonement, which is the real removal of sin, was not made when the offering for this dispensation was provided, not by the service of the priest in the first apartment of the sanctuary; but is accomplished only by the service of the priest in the most holy place, which is the closing work of our Lord’s ministration, the cleansing of the sanctuary, a branch of the work which did not commence, as we have seen, till 1844.”

That’s right, brother: 1844.

Truly the spirit of antichrist ... Paul told us that Jesus our High Priest entered the Holy of Holies IN HEAVEN with His blood, to sprinkle His atone blood on the Mercy seat in our behalf. Paul was given that revelation for our benefit as expository to Jews who were very familiar with the working of the High Priest. Now our High Priest need not enter every year again and again to atone because the perfect innocent blood was sprinkled upon the Mercy seat in Heaven by our PRIEST FOREVER.

I think we can post truth over and over and over, and it never get through to his heart because his heart is not receptive to Christ Jesus, and his mind is for EGW’s cult “theology.” Plenty of room for EGW in his mind and heart, but we both know the Holy Spirit and EGW can’t both occupy the same space. It’s one or the other, and we’ve been shown repeatedly which one it is.

Why are you so obsessed with someone else’s sexual sin?

The Sabbath will be starting soon.

I wonder that someone so obsessed with law keeping so dismissively violates the Sabbath and then makes excuses for it.

Ellen said he could avoid sexual obsessions by having a cold barrel soak rack nigh, avoiding dinner, and reading.

Sounds like he may be ignoring Ellen.

May still have his wig on too!

Very true. It’s like beating a dead horse. People hang on to their cults with a death grip. I don’t know why. I never hung in to my cult. Maybe they think if their cult is a lie, that there is nothing else out there.
By the way, in your search for videos, avoid one Doug Batchelor. He is a SDA apologist. Very crafty.

Paul says otherwise…

Phil is a worse sinner than Ravi was, even assuming that all the claims are true. And I mean that absolutely seriously.

On top of the fact that he follows EGW the swindler and hypocrite (Who is also worse than Ravi), he preaches the anti-Gospel of works, *and* has shown that he thinks that he knows God’s will better than God himself.

Oh, sure, the sin isn’t as scandalous, but it’s over twice as damnable.

And then on top of demanding that other people obey rules that Jesus has already fulfilled the purpose of, he deliberately disobeys the same laws that he demands other people follow and makes excuses that HE’S allowed to violate the Sabbath.

So it’s obvious why Phil is obsessed with someone else’s sex life. It’s the same reason that the Pharisees were obsessed with Jesus eating with tax collectors.

My best guess is that the cultists refuse to see the truth because we’ve wounded their pride.

And so they’re obsessed with making us feel the humiliation that they felt when we pointed out how obvious their violations of God’s Word are.

Absolutely it’s pride, Luircin. People have to be strong enough and smart enough to admit they’re wrong. Some are, some aren’t.

Going to quote myself on what I just told Luircin about cults and pride:

“Absolutely it’s pride, Luircin. People have to be strong enough and smart enough to admit they’re wrong. Some are, some aren’t.”

Thanks for the heads up on Doug Batchelor, Mark.

There are too many cults going on out there
This cult came from the hearts of the fair
Is anyone there saved
Most are enslaved
By this cult and come out by fasting and prayer.

“ Is anyone there saved
“Most are enslaved

Enslaved to legalism, works, and Gnosticism - and kept from the gospel of grace. So sad
