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 4th Commandment Sabbath is a DIRECT link to the Mark of the Beast and the 3 angel’s message. Over and over and over again we are told to WORSHIP God because He is our CREATOR, and, KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, because that will be the standard of God’s JUDGMENT.”

NO. Just no. You seriously need to study the Bible ... ON YOUR OWN, Phil.

You are so twisted and turned around on Scripture that people don’t even want to fool with tackling it because there seems to be no starting point.

You know what? Never mind. Carry on.

It would be redundant in making my point that YOU and the SDA are not Israel.

Speaking to God’s people, Saints that will be in heaven, one in Christ.

Galatians 3:27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.…

When will YOU ever learn?

From your statement we shall deduce that these dear Saints won’t be on earth. Thank you. It will be a different program when we Christians are gone. Good luck, lil buddy. You’re gonna need it ... especially since the SDA believe they’re going to be getting God’s mark in their foreheads.

Laugh all you want. That will come to an end soon enough.

2 Thess 2:
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

Let me put it another way that perhaps you’ll understand: You and your SDA cult are not PHYSICAL Israel, and there yet remains salvation for Israel. (Read the Hebrew Epistles sometime and try to understand to whom they are directed and why they are so very different from our dear Apostle Paul’s epistles. Just try it once. It won’t bite you. Think: What happened to Peter’s ministry?)

All WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS are (spiritual) Israel.

There is no more PHYSICAL Israel. There is only one in Christ Jesus. Literal, PHYSICAL Israel came to an end at the stoning of Stephen, at the end of Daniel’s 490 years.

There are only two outcomes. EITHER one gets the Mark of the Beast, OR they get the seal of God. Both are tied to the 4th commandment.

——>From your statement we shall deduce that these dear Saints won’t be on earth.

Wrong again. These are the Saints that have kept the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, who have not taken the MOTB, and will be saved and go to heaven when Christ returns.

Revelation 14:
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Guess who wrote this?

27. ... human existence is endowed with a certain rhythm. As well as the rhythm of day and night, lunar months and solar years (Gn 1:14-18), God establishes a weekly rhythm with rest on the seventh day, the basis of the sabbath (Gn 2:1-3). When they keep the sabbath observance (Ex 20:8-11), the masters of the earth render homage to their Creator.

“This raises the question, who do you render homage to, when it is not the seventh day Saturday Sabbath you keep, but Sunday, the first day?”

Of course none of that can replace the taste of bacon!

What's for dinner?
 

D&C 49:18-19 

18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in
abundance.

D&C 89:12-13 

12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

 
 
 
It must be tough; being a Mormon.   Having to face Scripture that state two oppossing ideas and somehow managing to believe BOTH of them!  It's no WONDER that Utah leads in Prozac usage!

I have trouble keeping charismatic leaders separate.
