In every generation, Jesus divides those who choose to obey from those who decide to disobey. He asked and answered in Luke 12:51, “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.”
Obedience divides the living from the dead. Who are the living?
Jesus gave us clear instructions to receive Communion in The Only Church He Founded: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Billions have heard those words and chosen to do what is necessary to receive Catholic Communion. As a result, they have obeyed His Great Dividing Command. They have “have life in” them.
It is painful for many to let their God-given intelligence conclude “If I don’t do what is necessary to receive Catholic Communion, I do not ‘have life in’ me. Jesus clearly teaches, I am dead.”
Every attempt to avoid that short-circuits more places in the brain. More short-circuits leave more “little dead places in the brain”.
As short-circuits keep more of the mind from working, it gets harder to realize: “Jesus fulfilled the prophecies. He is God, and He said, more than a dozen times, ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’
As the little dead places in the brain spread, more and more of it is unable to think clearly. The hard question becomes more difficult to ask: “Why am I letting people who profit from my not being Catholic encourage me to disobey He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies?”
Protestants and Catholics share many beliefs. But, when we get into the nitty-gritty details of what may be His most often-repeated command, we have to ask: “Why don’t Protestants try harder to believe all that Jesus said? Have they not asked to be chosen to do so?”
