‘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.......

MAYBE God was teaching Moses a lesson? The fact remains that the words were the same on the second set of tables and written EXACTLY as the first, by the hand of God. Moses hewing the second set changed nothing.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Scripture is replete with types and shadows. Every detail we find is there by design, it is something only God could have done. Don’t read it with low expectations.
——>Do you think that it was necessary that the first set of tables got broken?
Moses got angry. It happened. God made him hew a new set of tables. Lesson learned.
——>Scripture is replete with types and shadows. Every detail we find is there by design, it is something only God could have done. Don’t read it with low expectations.
And all were fulfilled in Christ. All CEREMONIAL/SACRIFICIAL laws ended at the cross. God’s 10 commandments are ALL still in effect.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.The details add to the precision of the types. They can add color to the shadows. When you insist that there is no meaning to the maker of the tables of the law you miss a clue that God has provided. God goes before us to provide our daily blessing.
Ruth 2:15-16 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
——>When you insist that there is no meaning to the maker of the tables of the law you miss a clue that God has provided.
I never said that at all.
——>Moses is a type. Christ is presented in the Old Testament with types. This is not a rare thing, it is evidence that the author of every Old Testament book knew Christ. Romans 5 says that Adam is a figure of him that was to come. Adam is not the only one, so was Able, Seth, Noah, Isaac, Joseph, and many more. Not just people but the Ark, the rainbow, the priesthood, the city of refuge the list go on and on.
I’m not disagreeing with you. But, the fact remains that the CEREMONIAL/SACRIFICIAL law ended at the cross.
Do you understand the difference?
What the book of Revelation starts with r.e. "the mark" is first a 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. -- the seal on the foreheads of the servants of Our God - the Tau, or sign of the Cross
And in that we read about the lamb of God
Later we see Satan's jealousy and how Satan tries to denigrate God -- we read about the evil mark and then the parody of the lamb (which comes from the land and is a symbol of the Sanhedrin)
In the same way Satan tries to denigrate God's kingdom - as we see in the satanic concept of the pre-tribulation rapture and dispensationalism.
“What the book of Revelation starts with r.e. “the mark” is first a 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. — the seal on the foreheads of the servants of Our God - the Tau, or sign of the Cross”
Ok. Where are you finding the Bible to read that it’s the tau or the cross?
I’m a bit confused, Cronos. Your post 3307 reads:
“The mark of the beast — just as the mark of God (given earlier in the book of revelation) is written on your heart and tongue meaning it is internal i.e. belief system.
“the mark of the beast would be the false cults like the Adventists or Jehovah’s witnesses who reduce Jesus to being just an angel.”
So, do you mean the above AND the tau or cross, or what?
I left the RCC when that idiot John XXIII became Pope and the Berrigans went to war against America with the Maryknolls. The RCC is right about abortion and right about what it PREACHES about morality, but it tolerates unacceptable perversions among a minority of its clergy It’s adherence to ritual and its political structure have no Biblical support. Scripture is the rock of Christianity.

Why would you, a OSAS, OJAJ, PTR believer, even care about the MOTB? You and your people aren’t going to be present for the mark OR the Antichrist anyway.
WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE? (doesn’t make any sense)
Hopefully Ken Johnson found some hidden passages about it from the Essenes/DSS. Yeah.
I love studying the Word of God is why.
——>For the record, no Christian hates the law since the Holy Spirit -who is by definition always fulfilling the law- is abiding in the newborn spirit of the Christian (1 John 3:9).
Still waiting for you to explain to everyone how exactly was the Holy Spirit fulfilling the law in Ravi’s case, as he raped and otherwise committed numerous acts of adultery?
Seems like there are many doctrinal questions you just refuse to answer. Why is that?
Then you are a poor study of the Word of God. John says the MOTB is about WORSHIP, and quotes from the 4th commandment. But, those who practice lawlessness don’t much care about the 4th commandment, do they?
In Revelation, John quotes from the 4th commandment multiple times. I wonder why he would do that if it no longer applied? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It’s sad to see a person in your state, Phil.
A person posts that she loves to study the Word, and your response is to accuse.
I’ve studied it long enough to work out where it fits and how it applies, to answer your question. I don’t rely on the SDA to tell me, as I won’t take instruction from people who crawl on all fours and bark like dogs in their religious meetings, along with kissing mouth to mouth and calling it “a holy kiss.”
That you keep harping on the 4th Commandment is pathetic, as you do not honor it. You lie every time you make that claim. You continue to work on the Sabbath for pay and do whatever strikes your fancy. It’s “The Sabbath Rules According to Phil.” Laughable.
YOU reject God’s word for mouth-to-mouth kissing dog barkers and your own set of Sabbath rules, yet call yourself a Sabbath-keeper. Sad.
Good day.

How about men of the likes of Ravi Zacharias, who preached OSAS, OJAJ, PTR, then raped and committed adultery over much of this earth? Do you take instruction from them?
——>people who crawl on all fours and bark like dogs in their religious meetings, along with kissing mouth to mouth and calling it “a holy kiss.”
Never heard of that. Must have missed that one the last time the General Conference met. Sounds like something Ravi would do BTW. Whatever SINGLE SDA church or churches does that, you have my permission to disfellowship them. LOL.
