Fatima: 5 Blasphemies against Mary

********TAKEN FROM FATIMA.ORG

“When I was in the chapel with Our Lord part of the night of May 29-30, 1930 (we know that it was her habit to make a holy hour from eleven in the evening to midnight, especially on Thursday evenings, according to the requests of the Sacred Heart at Paray-le-Monial), and I spoke to Our Lord about questions four and five, I suddenly felt myself more intimately possessed by the Divine Presence and, if I am not mistaken, this is what was revealed to me:
“My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. “Here, My daughter, is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this little act of Reparation ...”

It is also true that the gravest sins against the Most Holy Virgin are first of all sins against faith. This important lesson must be kept in mind.

Terms of Agreement

  We are often, in this modern economic world, presented with words when partaking in a media product or online service of Terms & Service Agreement.

  Well, Here, I will show the Terms we use to explain our service to God.

 I will show how simple language should, in theory, take down Protestant idea of Sola Fide apart from Law.

  But Faith is important! The Catholic Church teaches that one must have Faith in Works, it is niether faith or works alone.

 For example:

“It doesn’t matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man way from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” Wormwood (The Demon), “The Screwtape Letters”, C.S. Lewis

  Jesus knew this.  That is why He instituted Confession, Gospel of John 20:21-23.  Jesus knows to go up a slope we must walk up, take action!  Otherwise, the force of the slope overtakes us.  That is why it is important to do.  Life is more than what we believe or have faith in, we must live fully, and live fully in Christ. Yet, faith is vital as no action is a faithful act without faith, you must believe that walking up the slope helps before you can walk up the slope

SO FAITH IS VERY CRUCIAL, BUT HERE IS EVIDENCE OF OUR LEGAL LANGUAGE

1.) THE VERY BOOKS IN THE BIBLE ARE CALLED TESTAMENT IN ENGLISH:

The Greek word (pronounced) dee-ath-ay-kay means a disposition, the act or means of disposing of something, as in a will. It is variously translated as either "covenant" or "testament," which is interesting because they differ in meaning in English usage i.e. covenant means "a written agreement between two or more parties to perform some action" while testament means "a legal document declaring a person's wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die." While the Greek word is closer in meaning to the English word "testament," the Biblical usage of it blends "covenant" and "testament" in a way that the full Scriptural meaning is only made clear by the use of both.

   I heard it said, that this word used in Greek from Aramaic, is unquestionably identified as a legal term.  That when used, no one doubts the legal claim in it.

2)  JESUS IS A JUDGE? A JUDGE OF WHAT? FAITH ALONE. A JUDGE JUDGES ACCORDANCE TO LAW

judge

 

1.

a public officer authorized to hear and decide cases in a court of law; a magistrate charged with the administration of justice.

2.

a person appointed to decide in any competition, contest, or matter at issue; authorized arbiter: the judges of a beauty contest.

3.

a person qualified to pass a critical judgment: a good judge of horses.

4.

an administrative head of Israel in the period between the death of Joshua and the accession to the throne by Saul.

5.

(especially in rural areas) a county official with supervisory duties, often employed part-time or on an honorary basis.

3) JESUS AS JUDGE IS SAID TO BE JUST, AND THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WILL KNOW HIS JUSTICE 

In reference to Jesus' Justice: i.e. Awarding the righteous

 "Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me" (Mt 25:45b). The compelling final line says it all, "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Mt 25:46).

A Gathering of Humanity

  This message is short, but hopefully resonates.

  IF any one were to have a dinner, and invite the following for a conversation: 
   Einstein, Socrates, the pharoah Ramses, Confucius, Simon Bolivar, Martin Luther King, Jr., Napoleon, Shakespeare, and Nelson Mandella

  Which topic could you possibly talk about to all of them together without teaching them anything about the modern world? What could you speak about so they understood your positions and influences?
  
  Hydrogen? Social Justice? Communism? Genetic engineering?

  NO ! As far as I can think, we can talk about, responsibility, simple mechanics, ideas of community, ideas of the differences of men and women, cute babies, and DEATH and RELIGION.

  These things are UNIVERSAL, AGELESS 

 But it is not what we seem to talk about these days, we seem to talk about things we love which are things that come and go through the ages.

Human Population: Just cause for Abortion?

 I once got into a conversation about overpopulation in Africa with a student.  They apparently watched a documentary which talked about the need for family planning, suggesting that religion has allowed the poor people to have 7-16 kids at a time.  And of course, as documentaries are good at doing, they introduced them to a man who had 38 kids from 6 wives. He was muslim and apparently was only allowed to have 4 wives at a time, and so divorced two of them.  The student went on to talk about how it was dumb to have kids you can not feed, and how having TOO MANY PEOPLE WAS A PROBLEM FOR AFRICA.

  My instant response was ---- It is just stupid to complain that peopel are alive.  I am actually digusted with that mindset, that someone who is only here because they themselves have been given a life, dares to say that others shouldn't be around.  There are ''too much'' of others. 

  Without too much knowledge, I proposed that there is enough food in the world.  Then the student countered with it is not the world's obligation to take care of people's children (I then said you just layed out a perfect argument against Socialism), but continued by saying that, of course not, providing for your children is a problem. But without life itself, there would not be hunger.

   Life is the first, Life is the way.  So is the problem indeed that there too many people? Or that there is life? 

   From the start, people have always have had big families, and under-fed children.  Is it a problem? Of course it is, but it is human anyway, and the response to it shouldn't be to prevent more humanity!

 Where is the sense to say, I should not have a life because it will hunger, so I will dispose of the life.  When if born, it will always have a potential to be saved or fed, but in death, it is robbed of this potential.

 So does it make any rational sense to decide the value of life based on taking away its potential to either be hungery or to be fed, when without life it has no chance for hunger or feeding? 

  The world is what it is today because of the way people procreated and lived.  So to say that Africa is wrong to have so many kids, is to say that humanity was wrong for the first hundreds of thousands of years.  And if the first man was told about 'overpopulation' and that it was a problem, then the vast majority of us wouldn't be here today.

It is ANTI-HUMAN, to think that overpopulation is WRONG!

Secondly, I came to discover: There are more reason to see that this anti-human position as just false and misguided:

 

ONE THERE IS IN FACT ENOUGH FOOD:  NOW  (STUDENT'S ANSWER TO THIS WAS THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM IS FOR THE FUTURE)

     http://www.trust.org/alertnet/blogs/climate-conversations/is-there-enough-food-for-a-world-of-7-billion

FROM FINANCE.COM:

    The problem isn't even explained as a problem of Family Size:

Causes of poverty in Ethiopia:

Some of the causes of poverty in Ethiopia are:

• Arid conditions leading to irregular production in the agriculture sector.
• Improper marketing strategies of agricultural products.
• Degrading ecology
• Technological know how being poorly developed.
• Transportation facilities are poorly developed.
• Failure of the rural people in participating in awareness programs meant for them
• Absence of sufficient rainfall
• Shortage of food products owing to several conditions.
• Absence of proper socio economic infrastructure. This includes lack of potable water, proper education and health programs.
• Unstable political scenario.

  THIS IS THE PROBLEM: 

1)   SHOULD IT BE OKAY FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE KIDS WHEN THEY CAN NOT PROVIDE FOR THEM?

     It is dead travesty that people don't think about what they can do for their own kids (who do not choose to be born), but there could be prosecution on child abuse and then adoption.  Adoption is an option, so the first step could be said that the authororites can make sure the children are fed

  But there are more ways to do this than adoption and state involvement, the state has a responsibility to develop itself to meet the needs of hunger, as outlined here

There are several solutions to this problem -- NONE OF WHICH IS OVERPOPULATION!!!  In fact, Europe is in trouble for the opposite reasons -- de-population

The DATA IS OUTSTANDING!

Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that India alone is capable of increasing crop yields to the point of providing the entire world’s food supply

UNITED NATIONS SAYS IT WAS WRONG ABOUT OVER-POPULATION

Overpopulation

UN admits it was wrong about overpopulation

Vatican (CWN) -- In an unprecedented admission, the United Nations Population Fund has acknowledged that its previous frightening predictions about a "population bomb" have been inaccurate. And the organization has also acknowledged that its latest estimates have also exaggerated the growth of world population.
In 1994, the Population Fund estimated that worldwide population growth would be approximately 94 million each year, until easing back to 85 million around the year 2020. But last year, world population growth amounted to only 81 million-- 20 percent below the UN estimate. In 1989, the Population Fund predicted that by the year 2000 the world's population would be 6.25 billion; the latest figures suggest that that estimate is high by at least 160 million-- a figure roughly equivalent to the population of Brazil!
The latest statistics, published this week by the UN, demonstrate that Pope John Paul II and his allies were correct when they said, in preparation for the Cairo conference on population growth, that international agencies were grossly exaggerating the trends in world population.


FINAL COMMENTARY:  THERE ARE SOULTIONS... AFRICA MUST DEVELOP ITSELF, AND THEN THE FOOD PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY, AND PEOPLE HAVE THEIR CHILDREN...

IN FACT, THE MOMENTUM IS THERE, IT WAS REPORTED BY THE UN, THAT THE AFRICAN UNION NOW STATES THAT EACH AFRICAN COULD HAVE 20 DOLLARS A DAY!

Ability to see Through Things

           ''Humor is not comic --- it is the ability to see through things '' - Archbishop Fulton Sheen



1 Corinthians 2: 14, 15
   14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16 For who has known the mind of the LORD, that he will instruct him?

   Today I read about Elijah

   I wondered, ''Is this for real?''

  Jesus is noted to be like no one else in history, as he died, then resurrected and never died again.  But 'even greater' Mary his mother and Elijah, never died at all.

  Or is it greater? Jesus died and rose and ceased to die all by His power.

  Elijah and Mary were given the glory of such distinction of life without death. But how glorious it is to never die.

  But, ''Is this for real?''

  What is lost in all this is the mysterious wonder of God.  We will never understand !  We have sciences which we can not learn more than the attributes of creation itself.

  We have philosophy which we can find reason by deductive equations, and discover rational truths, but we can not find the answer of the supernatural.

  The Middle Ages are often looked down upon these days by modern minds, in relation to their world view.  The superstitions and ignorance of the Middle Ages is critiqued adamantly.

 Truth is, it was the Middle Ages that gave us the system of universities.  To think them as ignorant, is itself an ignorant thought.

  What is splendid of the Middle Ages is that it seemed to have a great respect for mystery and power of God.  That anything is possible in creation by the Creator.

  You see beauty and splendid majesty in the culture.

  Why is knighthood even today glorified?  Because the pageantry captivates the imagination.

  It is in the imagination of the Middle Ages that is so wonderful. Just look to the churches built in the Middle Ages to the modern churches today.  I prefer the Middle Aged churches, I do not think I am alone, nor in any form of a minority with that opinion.

  See what glory there was.  Why do we plague our vision today? Where has this glory gone?

  I think, that is the greatest difference between us and the Saints.

  The Saints, no matter how studied, no matter which age they live in, had so much trust in God, that they found themselves a spirituality where they do not dare question, but submit their will to God and His powers.

  A Saint would not question God, would not question His Glory or the Glory of His Creation.

  A Saint is a painstakingly loyal servant and slave of power and mystery.

  In 1 Corinithians (1: 18-31, 2 )there is a great notion of faith and belief in the majesty. Yet, we are not to have faith without reason as in Isaiah 45: 18-19 says, invites us to seek Him in chaos.

Isaiah 45:18-19: For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): "I am the LORD, and there is no other.  I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, `Seek me in chaos.' I the LORD speak the truth, I declare what is right.

  Further reflection on the matter:

  Jesus says we are to love as a child.

 I play a game with my son, something I just started recently.

  When he is talking I tell him to that he is quiet, when he is silent I say, 'shh' you are loud.'
  
  He cracks up.

  But why does he see the contradiction? Because I told him first that loud means boisterous, and quiet means silent.

  So he first believes me, and does not question me when I say what I say.

  Only when he believes in my first order of definition, does he see the contradiction as he still has faith in my first words.  If he is faithful, why does he not believe my words of contradiction?
  
  He simply he believes in me, because he knows me, trusts me, loves me.

  Eventhough it is still my words which speaks to him, he still must follow his faith in me to understand me.  To understand that I am speaking in contradictory terms, so he laughs at me for joking with him. The contradiction does not rattle his faith. He believes his first lesson.  That truth is in what his father teaches.

 And by his great faith in me, he does not let contradiction alter his faith, he is true to me, and he understands me.
       
 How great is the love of a child? As great of the Saints to God.

  In my role as a father, I have found, if He displeases me and I punish him or let him know I am not happy with him. 
  He gets sad.  As a three year old, he does not know self-reflection, he does not know forgiveness.  Yet, he only knows he wants me to accept him again.

  So in the pain of sadness, he comes to me and shows me he wants me even when I am displeased with him.

  It is a natural relationship my son has with his father.

  He seeks me, because he needs me.  

  What great love is that?  Not needing forgiveness, not needing explanation, just needing to seek me and have my love.

  God is our Father.  We are his children.  

 How do we understand the contradiction of mystery and worldliness? By keeping faith in His word that His words are true, and contradiction is not His Truth, but in our understanding.

 The saints understand as a child, they rely on the Father. How glorious is the Faith of the Saints of our times, they must have found that Middle Aged mysticism. 

  Pablo Pio, St. Therese of Lisieux, the children at Fatima.

 The rest of us seek understanding in our world apart from the majesty that is in the Creator, and we then miss God's Divine 'humor.'
   

    
  

Sharing Christ's Passion

I am a Christian.  For a long time I knew that Jesus was a man, who walked the earth, speaking about Goodness and Love.

 Don't get your theology from the media.

 Oprah for example, as exhibited on youtube, claims that Jesus did not come to die and save us, as she always believed, but He came to show us how to live ( a Buddha). To live in ''Christ Consciousness.'' 
  Not have our own consciousness, but His, a God !

 It is a message which does not completely leave Christianity, as we are to be Christ-like, but not consciousness ''All Knowing'' gods ... It does though emphasize Live in the ethics of love as neighbor and yourself.

 But there is much more ! Much more !

 One question to ask you ???

 If it is indeed Faith alone, why is it that the Jews needed a Messiah? Didn't they have Faith in God???

 What sense it is that Jesus came to us to introduce Himself?  Why didn't God the Father tell Moses.... Hey by the way, there is a trinity....

 Well, there is some clues in the Old Testament that there was a Divine Counselor on the way...

 But, What then does death of Jesus mean?

 To be saved? Why didn't Jesus just come to us and say, Hey! I am Lord of Lords believe in me and you will be saved.... poof, gone pecan?

 I actually never clearly understood the death of Jesus myself, I never understood what it was He was TRULY doing.. and why it was NEEDED... Why that way?

 There is an answer!

 God has a plan.

 I do not understand the Fall of Man completely, and do not feel ever will,  but I have heard it said that pain and suffering is God's 'megaphone' to us that there is something greater.  As we would be absent minded to think that there was anything greater than a world without pain and suffering.  The Bible describes the world as in labor.  It is working with labor pains for a new life to come from it.  As I understand it, in regards to what happened to make the world a fallen existence,  has something to do with God’s plan, and humans behaving in a way that had little Faith in that plan....

 So humans ‘fell’ into a death of sin... thus we are mortal, and we suffer in our mortality.

 So I won’t be answering exactly why there is suffering in the world exactly, but what a Christian should understand about suffering. What are we to do as Christians is to take comfort in Him in the suffering that we do feel.

One of the greatest expressions of Faith is still having HOPE in a scenario where there seems to none.

To have that HOPE acknowledged.... means to be Rescued

To be rescued, means to be Saved.

Jesus came to save the sins of the world, that is to place the greatest proof that we are right in Hoping for the coming of being saved.

 He rescued our human incapacity to cope with suffering alone.

 Christian Faith is not only a feel good Faith, it is a real faith of the real experience of man.

How Glory is God’s blessings when we feel His blessings, but how frightening is the world when we only see despair.

 God wants us to know that He is with us even in despair, not to take us out of that despair, (although he can), but to say, Hey ! Have faith in me that I will take you out of your misery when it is time to join me in my Kingdom of Heaven.

 He wants to soothe us in the hardest times we face here on Earth, but the reward is not promised on Earth, but in Heaven.

 

 It is a promise of ‘’ you’ll make it if you have Hope in Me’’

And this resonates all throughout our lives...

When we hurt a friend, we need to tell ourselves that things will get better

When we afraid to move on from a boyfriend or a close one, that it will be okay.. Life will go on and I will be ok..

 This is how we are rescued from our suffering... because God has given us a comfort in His resurrection to ensure that He is waiting for us to join Him.

 In the old testament, God knew that His people would constantly struggle in His Mosiac Laws.

 He sent prophets, that was not enough for eternal victory, just to get through some tough times... A God of healing...

 God KNEW. God knew He wanted to show His people COMPASSION.  He knew there would be time for Compassion.

 God is consistent in this, that the savior whether prophet or the Messiah was one to heal the pain by promising a new land, a new age, or a new testament

 He came to the world to SUFFER!

 To feel pain and temptation, and experience it Himself. In Compassion..

 Which means ''Suffer Together''

 The prophets of the Old Testament proclaimed a Coming of the Messiah ... in the time of suffering... They promised VICTORY in the Lord... that God LOVED them...

           even in their suffering....

They were to be patient in their waiting... Patient meaning submit to the pain of yearning ...

  Yearning to be relieved of the sufferings of the world,

To CONQUER DEATH

How do we conquer Death? We do not. We are destined to die... materially.  From the Fall of Adam and Eve, we are destined to die..... die of suffering and choice.

 This is especially true of the Jews in the BC years....

 They didn't have hope of resurrecting..

   So what did that do for them? The suffered in the Law of Moses... for the sake of the law... not for True faith in God's Divine love...  They didn't understand God's Divine Love...

 So their sin was only a sin against the law... the covenant

 Covenant by the way is the same word as ''testament''

 It is a LEGAL word.  Anyone in those days knew it was a legal word.

 And the Jews suffered much, in captivity and war even between the time of Moses and Jesus.

 But God gave them prophets...

 Saying -- You are suffering, BE PATIENT... meaning suffer in your yearning... God will redeem you, be patient for His Messiah...

 So they so yearned for that Messiah... suffering in patience in some of the worst conditions.

 Then in the fulfillment of the prophecies, God came...

 Suffered, Died, and was Buried....

 Out of Compassion and Love He sent His only Son...

 To Suffer with Us.. in his ‘Passion’ .. submission to the pain and death He faced

 Why do we suffer? Because we do not understand death, we lose our loved ones to death... and we have No earthly Assurance of its meaning... so pain is anquish as we do not understand and have hope in it...

 Yet, God in His infinite wisdom and mercy.... Decided He would suffer with us... Compassion through the Passion of Christ

 In raising He relieved our suffering showing that there IS more to this world...

 You see, in the Jewish theology,  some (I think the Sadducees) did not believe in the afterlife... I think the Pharasees did... I may have it backward.. but it is in the Bible...

 So did Jesus save as the born-again Christians proclaim ...

 Did Jesus take away the sins of the world?

 Not in the way that there is no sin... that sin is not accomplished by Faith alone...

 Jesus conquered Sin by conquering Death.... illustrating to us that there is ''Re Birth'' through death....

  There is still sin..

  We know this because human's are still not pure in spirit.

 We are only in the kingdom when we are pure... Pure of Heart and Pure of Spirit....

    We are not, even the strongest believers.

  What Faith then do we have?  We have faith that DESPITE our impatience and suffering of our relief... Jesus is coming again...

 Jesus is coming again either in our Own Death... Or at the end of Time...

 So how did he save the world... BY SHOWING US THAT WE ARE INDEED GOING TO HIS KINGDOM... HE LIVED IT, BREATHED IT, AND WE ARE SAVED IN SUFFERING BECAUSE WE HAVE FAITH IN HIS PROMISE TO US... THAT JUST BE PATIENT!!

JUST SUFFER WITH PATIENCE... BECAUSE WE ARE FALLEN, BUT HE HAS SAVED US IN HIS EXAMPLE OF PROOF THAT LIFE CONQUERS DEATH, AND LOVE CONQUERS SUFFERING... HE RESCUES US FROM THE ANQUISH OF NOT KNOWING.

 So we in turn have Faith in Him.l

 We are like the Jews as we wait for Jesus again.... suffering in impatient, but called to be patient....

 The difference? We have assurance that sin is conquered through death... That in death we are to meet Jesus assuredly, with proof on Earth.....

 So we are to have Faith... not in God will heal us on the Earth.,...

 God makes no such promises... Some of the greatest Christians suffered mightily...

 Doesn't mean he never helps.... of course he does... But it means there is no promise to help us in our healing

 Only a promise of helping us in our suffering ... that He suffered too to show us that there is a Light at the end of suffering...

 In fact, news around the world say Christians are the most persecuted faith in the world TODAY!

 Pray for mercy and relief... But do not have complete faith that He will do it... His will be Done.... Not ours...

  We see this in the Our Father ! In the our father we ask to be taken away from sin, not that we are saved by faith from sin. We are human, God knows our nature.

To say that Jesus came and took away sin is to say that human nature changed at that moment.

 It did not, Human suffering changed in the greatest display through offering us Faith and Hope in the afterlife and demonstrating great Love...

 The Theology is in the Our Father

 Our Father

Who art in Heaven

Hollowed by thy Name

Thy kingdom come (starting to say, be patient, ‘’suffer in yearning’’)

Thy will be done  (When His will is done, there is no sin or fallen nature

On Earth as it is in Heaven (Earth is not Heaven, we are not perfect, but we are called to do His will as best we can even in our imperfections)

Give us this day, our daily bread (We hunger for Him, He has shown Himself in Jesus who is with us today to feed our souls in His sacrifice on the cross by the sacrifice of the bread)

And forgive is our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation

And Deliver us from evil  (Put it together, deliver us from evil, as it still exist, but let us do your will, live right, live by our Faith that you are with us in our daily bread as promised and forgive us when we do not live by your Will and sin) ... In other words, sin is still here, we are still to live by His will to help us against sin and temptation

 Our faith is in the promise... the covenant/testament... of the afterlife and heaven, but also that He is with us today, as He did not come to abandon us again, but give us His Word, and His Body & Blood in sacrifice to remember what He did on the cross...... suffered with us!

 That we should find compassion in Him through His Son in all our suffering.....

    In our suffering,... We should have faith in Him... that is what Jesus has said is True... that there is a better life beyond our suffering here in this world.....

 That is HAVING FAITH.... Not that He exist, the Jews believed God exists....

 But Having FAITH in the covenant, the promise... That God is there waiting for us...

 He is suffering in waiting as well... to pursue Him towards perfection...

 We will not go to Heaven unless we are purified...

 This is True..... This is where purgatory comes in....

 We are ONLY purified through living by His moral codes... his covenant (legal language)

 And as Jesus said, as we have Faith in the covenant...

 TRULY, TRULY, I say to you... Eat my flesh, drink my blood... and you will have Life...

  

We are to be perfect in Faith, before we enter the kingdom.... not perfect in the faith of believing... but perfect in the Faith that if I do what I am told, He will welcome me into His Kingdom

 There is no better time to be faithful in the promises of Christ (covenant/testament)THAN in our suffering (Beatitudes... happy are the poor, those who mourn, the hungry, the meek)

  Jesus wanted to make clear, there was a way out of suffering, not in this world, but the next.

    It should be JOYOUS to you that you will not suffer forever, that you will not sleep in darkness after the injustice you experienced in the world.

 Do NOT let others tell you your experience of the world.  Do not buy into things that say they will give you Heaven on Earth.  Why not? Because we will all suffer pain, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!  We will lose friends, family, children, spouses, parents to DEATH!

  This is why Jesus died, He didn’t NEED to die, He was God. He died to scarifice Himself to the same fate we face, to show us that even in death, there IS life.

   In our death, and in our friend’s death.

 The MOST Rich and the MOST Powerful will too. So if you pursue those lives..... It is your life !

All I am saying is that YOU know THIS WORLD.  You know what there is as we get old, IT DOESN’T change whether we are a college student, a mother, a boss, or a monk..

We will all feel despair and pain in something, at some point, the promises are not for this world.

How ! low are the promises if it is of this world ! as the promises will as it is said be done with at the End of days.  

 

 Yet ! Even in the pain and suffering, how beautiful is this world ! stunning ! So stunning that many will admire it and think it must be greater than accident. As beautiful nature and our friends can be, just imagine how beautiful a world without sin is !

   But it is a lovely message, that not only are we okay after we die, but it is GOOD ! With our long lost family and friends.

That is the message ! There will be an end of days, for suffering and sin ! That Jesus has come to suffer with us on the cross and in the Bread ‘’in the hope of rising.’’

 This is what the Book of Revelation is ALL about, Jesus will be victorious at the End...

I recommend reading the ending... It is celebrating on and on with the Glorious Victory of Jesus has over the end

   End of suffering

   End of despair

   End of loneliness

   End of life

   End of sin

   End of the world

         

How does LAW make us perfect???

 It is the road map to becoming perfect in Christ .. Belief in His promises...

    Law tells is what a perfect Christian is... it does not say we will accomplish it, for we are not perfect, but to be perfect Christians... and we have Confession to help us when we fail in our whole lifetime.

 The same way we are freed from sin is the way we are freed from grammar mistakes.....

 When we learn a language, we learn the grammar and rules so we can FREELY speak...

 If we do not obey these rules, we go astray, and it is pointless to learn and speak the language as no one will understand you....

 As in science... only a good scientist is one who learns and understand the Laws... so they can freely work JUSTIFIABLY as scientist....

 I wouldn't want to be in a room with a chemist who plays with chemicals with only knowledge of the chemicals exist and not the rules of the chemistry.....

 That is the problem of Protestantism.... too many people are left alone to make things up that there are sooo many denominations...

SO many that people are commonly becoming Non-denominational...

  Indeed, the BIBLE is suppose to be TRUE.. and UNIFYING... not divisive

 For 1300 years Christianity was ONE... but after Luther and until today... we have over 30,000.....

 Indeed, it was this Unified Christian (Catholic) Church that put the Bible together....

 And yet, it is said Catholics don't know the Bible, have no references in the Bible...

 Why would they put things (by things i mean books, not words) in the Bible that is contrary to what they teach...

 In fact they did... many books were rejected because the Church said it was not consistent with what the apostles taught....

 That is all I will say for now.... There is much more to this story.... The Church is rich in spirituality which helps us cope with our realities, celebrate the Good, and live in Faith which is a great gift of the Saints who show us so many things in infinite unique ways.
