Catholics become “the children of God”! #35.

Catholics are blessed to have The Three Persons of The One God giving us “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” that The Son died to leave on earth.

Question 1:  “How do Catholics become ‘the children of God’?”

Answer:  “We read The Bible!  Today’s Catholic Reading from Eph. 3:1-14 is clear:  ‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before Him.   In love He destined us for adoption to Himself through Jesus Christ,’ . .”

Question 2:  “How can anyone be ‘without blemish before Him’?”

Answer:  “Only God’s ‘adopted children’ receive Two Things from Jesus in Eph. 3:7:  First:  ‘In Him, we have redemption by His Blood.‘  Second:  Catholics also have ‘the forgiveness of transgressions.’

~

Question 3:  “How do Catholics have ‘redemption by His Blood’?”

Answer:  “Only Catholics are blessed to obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 12 times in John 6 and twice more at The Last Supper:  ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’

~

Question 4:  “How are Catholics ‘forgiven our transgressions’?”

Answer:  “We confess our sins to our Catholic priests.   They are the only people on earth given This Power by Jesus Christ in John 20:23:  ‘Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’

~

Question 5:  “Why doesn’t everyone who reads The Bible become Catholic?”

Answer:  “Victims of Protestantism are led to believe that Jesus did not die in agony to give those ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’  to His ‘adopted children’ who obey Mt. 16: 18-20:

‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’

~

Question 6:  “What must every Willful Protestant do to be among God’s ‘adopted children’?”

Answer:  “1.  Stop arguing with Jesus!  2.  ‘Be Catholic!’  3.  Get those ‘keys’!
