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.......

—-> Can I safely assume that you are more righteous than a Pharisee or Sadducee?

I’m guessing the answer is that he sees himself as more righteous Thanh any other!

Cult guys say stuff endlessly, bloviating the same talking points over and over, claiming secret knowledge, abstaining from foods, etc.

In this case, the problem seems to be one has been Ellen-Blinded from birth.

I’m guessing this multigenerational demon can only come out by much prayer and fasting.

🙏🏼

I’m guessing the SDA’s have cut Romans 14 and Acts 15 from their Bibles.

Bible? Are you serious? They don’t need a Bible, Metmom; they’ve got the writings of Ellen G. White.

“I’m guessing the SDA’s have cut Romans 14 and Acts 15 from their Bibles.”

And the Books of I & II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I & II Thessalonians, I & II Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

In reference to a certain person on this thread, I would say they are about the same. Both are into a works based plan of salvation. They seem to have a warped view of who Jesus really is. I am not into it. 😀😃 It might even push me toward another Limerick. 👍🥩🥓🍳🐴

I found another video for you. A former Adventist named Dale Ratzlaff. That false religion hemorrhages members faster than any other. It appears he tries to lead other Adventists out, similarly to the way I try to lead Catholics out of that. From the part I have listened to already, he seems quite good.

Already into it, Mark. Thank you.

“There are approximately 300,000 7th Day Adventists members who leave that church worldwide every year. They are programmed to become agnostic.”

By the way, we must be discerning about Ellen G White. Not everything that she wrote, was false. Her plan of salvation, however, is false, including the false doctrine of the investigative judgment. That might be the most egregiously false doctrine of all. It might be analogous to the Catholic purgatory. In other words, to them, Jesus was not able to pay for the sins of mankind, but our works are included. That is false doctrine. The SDA Jesus, is not the Jesus of the Bible.
If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times. It’s not enough to have faith in Jesus. We must have faith in the RIGHT Jesus. The RIGHT Jesus is NOT in the SDA religion.
I don’t know for sure, but I seriously question whether there is even one truly saved SDA member. I think it is one of the most pernicious cults out there.

That’s how they work so well. In any cult a person may get a large percentage of truth. It’s the small percentage of false teaching that gets them far away from the Real Christ Jesus.

The blasphemy in the Investigative Judgment is the assigning of the scapegoat principle. The SDA cultist would assert that it is satan who is the ultimate 'scapegoat'. But the scritpture shows us it is Jesus The Christ Who was the ultimate 'scapegoat', for when He cried out "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" (My God My God why hast thou forsaken my) He was right at that moment bearing the sins of the whole world, yours, mine, everyone's, and that truth is accounted for those who believe in Whom God sent for our redemption.

The scriptures tell us that when we believe in Him, we have The Righteousness of Christ imputed to us, to our newborn spirit! The writer of Hebrews explained that the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to separate soul and spirit, and THAT is why the newborn spirit remains SINLESS, because the Spirit of God abides in that newborn spirit (1 John 3:9).

The SDA cult teaching declares that satan is the ultimate scapegoat, not Jesus. THAT is blasphemous and opposite to what the scriptures show us! Satan will spend eternity in torment for his own sinfulness. My sinfulness has been taken out of the way by the atoning power of the Christ, provided by God on my behalf and that of every believer since Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost.

The SDA cult makes satan the ultimate atonement. The Catholic ORG makes the sinner the utimate atonement witht he false teaching of purgatory. Both of these cults focus upon the behavior mechanism, the soul, not the spirit. Satan knows that if one focuses upon the spirit which is dead in trespasses and sins and in need of a Savior, the Truth of God's provision is too near to be denied, by the power of the gracious power of the Holy Spirit. Once one is born from above they are in the hands of God, unreachable by the wiles of satan and his minions. Cults hate that truth. And now that we have stated it openly, watch for the spirit of antichrist to surface and seek to confuse The Truth of The Spirit.
