‘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 warned you about your blaspheming, putting EGW over God.
I’ve never done either one of those things. But, I guess it makes you feel better saying it to justify you being lawless.
Rev 14:12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Verse 7 quotes part of the 4th commandment.
7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 22: 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
God will not tolerate lawlessness, and He makes that abundantly clear throughout the bible. But you say there is no law, and therefore no sin. OSAS. Sin, if there is now such a thing, can't touch you. God says you are deceived.
Matthew 7: 21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
Your side keeps saying Lord, Lord, but continues to practice lawlessness. Yeah, continue to listen to the KJ and AW Prophecy Watchers bunch and see what happens. (I just showed you where KJ changes the word of God to fit his PTR scenario).
——>How do you know which fruit to eat? Or, rather, the one not to eat?
Take an apple for example: If it’s mushy or full of bugs, I don’t eat it. Oh, you were talking about something else? Then stop speaking in riddles and get to the point (please).
You well know my point already, Phil. You claim to follow the laws given to Noah, Abraham, et al. What about poor Adam? Does he not make your list? If not, why not?
Which fruit are you forbidden to eat?
And yet, in all that you posted, not one word is relevant to the Church.
“Obedience to God’s law has always been mandatory. And, it’s carried over and part of the new covenant.”
Do you think you were under the old covenant?
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
With whom is God making the new covenant?
Learn what the Church is. Read Paul.
——>You well know my point already...
I just said I didn’t. So, stop speaking in riddles and CLEARLY state your question (please).
I DID.
Paul: 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.…
The house of Israel/Judah WERE the heirs to the promise. They blew it and never more will they represent God's chosen people. WE are now "Israel", Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
---->With whom is God making the new covenant?
WE are the heirs to the new covenant, grafted into the vine, etc...
Thank you for finally saying what is in your heart.
——>And yet, in all that you posted, not one word is relevant to the Church.
That’s the position of all who practice lawlessness. God gives you ample warnings.
Honestly, Phil, it doesn’t really matter what you have to say after the post about Israel. Seriously.
Satan wants readers to believe God is through with Israel, so the cultist spittles forth with the lie, the replacement theology lie twisted to fit the demonically possessed EG Whitge ravings.
It is playing the role of modern day judiazer with a satanic twist. It cannot see the way it is being used so it is bullying, taunting, browbeating, insulting, and accusing, thinking itself more righteous than those who are not only depending upon God's Grace in Christ but being enlivened by the Presence of The Holy Spirit abiding in their born again spirit.
To sustain its self righteousness, it rejects what is given to us in The Word of God, with the First Council of the Ekklesia found in Acts fifteen, where the instructions to the new gentile converts included not any of the law of Moses strictures, and instead displayed the freedom of not being under the law but under Grace.
A cultist relying upon self righteousness cannot fathom the depth of the Grace of God in Christ. The carnal mind cannot grasp spiritual truths. Time to leave the dead alone and move on. It will remain dead in trespasses and sins until it accepts the Grace, Grace which is a greater covenant than the old covenant because it is ALL GOD doing the saving, not the cultist striving to obtain what ONLY GOD can grace us with, His Righteousness in response to our giving to Jesus ALL THE GLORY.
To God be the glory for the exposure of the evil which calls God untrustworthy and a liar.
“Hath God really said ...” is what comes to mind in this rejection of God’s glorious Church.
What a shame.
So, you’re calling Paul a liar when he says there is neither Jew nor Greek, etc.... for you are all one in Christ?
Sounds like it.
The promise:
16. Promises. These promises included a son to be his heir (Gen. 15:4), possession of the literal land of Canaan (v. 18), the prospect of becoming a great nation (chs. 12:2; 15:5), progenitorship of the Messiah (Gal. 3:16), and the privilege of being God’s chosen instrument to proclaim salvation to the nations of earth (Gen. 12:3; Gal. 3:8, 14). These promises were repeated to Abraham upon several different occasions, over a space of nearly half a century (see Gen. 12:1–4, 7; 13:15, 16; 15:4, 5, 13–18; 17:1–8, 16–21; 18:10; 22:17, 18).
Heirs. As spiritual children of Abraham, Christians become “joint-heirs with Christ” (Rom. 8:17). As Son of God, Christ is likewise heir to the honor and glory of heaven, and those who believe in Him fall heir to a position of honor in the universe that would never have been possible for created beings to enjoy had the Word not become flesh (John 1:1, 14). At the incarnation, divinity and humanity were united by ties never to be broken (DA 21, 25, 26). As heirs with Abraham to the covenant promises, all who emulate his lofty example of faith will enter the “city which hath foundations,” to which he himself ever looked forward in faith (Heb. 11:10). See on Gal. 3:9, 14. The promise. That is, the “promise” of God to Abraham to justify both Jews and Gentiles on the basis of faith alone, without the “works” of “the law” (see on vs. 8, 14, 16).
SDA bible commentary
“SDA bible commentary”
From what I’ve learned from you about the SDA, I can go the rest of my life without learning anything more from them.
I don’t call God Almighty an untrustworthy liar Who can’t keep His word.
Good luck to you.
Well it’s obvious you want a platform so we’ll just end this now.
The problem with you OSAS/PTR folks is that you have to make the Jews God’s chosen people. The PTR doesn’t work without it. Paul is very clear that there is ONLY one in Christ. The Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos, as a group, are out as His chosen people.
