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.......

I’m doing the same thing with a big blowtorch weed burning thingy.

I’ve lost the adjust knob (now use pliers)
The squeeze valve handle disappeared into the grass somewhere and the hose has been chewed on by squirrels(?)

I’ve bought hose, brass fittings, more hose, and a final hose.

The nozzle is just about rusted completely thru and I just realized I could have bought a new one for what I’ve been jacking around trying to keep this old one going.

Well, at LEAST I now have a 25’ hose insrtead of a 10’ one.

Well, I'm sure my spirit is willing, somehwow...

Though We are body and spirit...
If you were just all spirit-
God would have no need to be incarnate.

" There is no good trying to be more spiritual than God. God never meant man to be a purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it..."
(CSL)

As the adage goes...

That which is saved,
must be like that which saves...

Just checking...
But is your position that had Adam and Eve
NOT disobeyed God-
They would have eventually been put out of the Garden anyway,
and still have died just the same?

I’ll just leave it up to the other posters to broaden your understanding of what happened, and the parties involved in the Garden of Eden - cause there’s a whole slew of things they can unpack ....how ever I tend to think you don’t have eyes to see - yet.

Has it ever occurred to you that your claim of eating the soul and deity of Jesus does not work with your denial of our spiritual realm current existence? The flawed reasoning is scattered all through catholicism, like this error: you claim you can eat the soul and divinity -that is spirit, Murph- but are denying we are spiritual beings while we are in the physical body!

No.
But staying with the Garden Theme for a sec..
There were TWO trees that God had in the heart of his Garden.
They could eat from the one The Tree of Life- and never die.
The fruit of that Tree had to be pretty awesomely divine, Given by God,
to never die- and to live forever with Him...
But then sin entered the world and the Tree of Life was lost to his creatures- and the Garden was then inaccessible to man.

Fast forward to another Tree God gave us.
Although this Tree would have his only begotten son, hung on it.
And this Son would be sent into this world,, to be sacrificed for us,
As so to take away the sin of the world.

And the Fruit of THIS New Covenant Tree- when eaten -
Will once again... Give us everlasting life.

Plausible?

Listened to it today...
Mondo is a cool... I like saying his name... mondo...

Liked the Johnson video more...
But question for you... serious - not trying to tick you off... as the DSS community writings are not Gospel anyway...
This one dealt with more calendar/ time related issues...
But is, or how much of, your pre-trib doctrine found in the DSS writings as related to calendar or year prophesy?

Does the community writings use Malachi in a prophetic way?

Adam and Eve were corruptible, mortal, naked, and blind when they ate the fruit.

What were they BEFORE?


Remember they could eat from ANY of the trees but the one?

Genesis 3:22

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

Looks like A&E were 'mortal' but had the chance, before they sinned, to live forever.

I did read it. It doesn’t change anything. If you think it does, tell me why.

You seem to think god actually said it instead of Eve actually saying it.

It appears that mere eating of the fruit wasn't enough, for we find THIS in Scripture...

Genesis 3:17

To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you...

So wives; now you know why we men are the way we are.

Just trying to atone for the original sin!

I’m being serious here...

Do you have a cognitive disorder that affects your short term memory? I discussed this topic (other than Enoch) with you not to long ago. It amazes me that you can’t remember the specifics. It’s happened in other posts as well. You should see a neurologist. I know what I’m talking about.

As far as Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and all those saints who were raised from the dead at the resurrection of Christ, and are in heaven, they were judged worthy and ALREADY TRANSLATED. They are pure. No longer sinners or sinful. Covered by the Grace of Jesus Christ. No problem if Enoch wants to hang out with unfallen beings.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

No, Eve said it. But how did Moses know she said it?

It is appointed unto men once to die. There are just two deaths mentioned in scripture. In Revelation 20 describes the second death. Where is the evidence that Adam died twice? The second death is avoidable even for Adam. Some people say there are three deaths. I’m looking for support from scripture.

Why didn’t Adam eat from the “tree of life” when he had the chance? God does not instruct us to eat from the tree of life, but rather to take freely(Galatians3:21).

Philswprld asserted: "No problem if Enoch wants to hang out with unfallen beings." You really DO believe Seventh Day Adventist EG White's false renderings!

It is you who has a problem, not Southern Claire.
