What lets Catholics be among God’s obedient “friends” at His Judgment of our soul?

Question 1:  “Why are Catholic souls blessed to go to God’s Judgment and be forever among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’?”

Answer:  “We are not among the bitter, angry, unhappy people who have been complaining since Moses led the 12 Tribes out of Egypt!  God was so sick of their complaining that The Bible tells us He killed many of them!  Numbers 12:4-9: In punishment, The Lord sent among the people seraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died.'”

Question 2:  “What did the survivors do?”

Answer:  “‘Then the people came to Moses and said ‘We have sinned in complaining against The Lord and you.  Pray The Lord to take the serpents away from us.’  So, God had Moses ‘Make a seraph serpent and mount it on a pole, and whoever looks at it after being bitten will live.’  Moses obeyed,  ‘made a bronze serpent, mounted it on a pole, and whoever looked at it lived.’

~

Question 3:  Did that ‘seraph serpent on a pole giving life to whoever looked at it’ predict the Healing Power of Jesus on the cross?”

Answer:  “Jesus had His arms stretched out to embrace and heal the whole world forever, not just those who looked directly at Him in the desert for 40 years.”

Question 4:  “Did Jewish people understand that, 1,500 years later?”

Answer:  “Angry, bitter, unhappy Pharisees understood it well enough to resent Jesus even more for specifically telling them, of all the people on earth, in John 8:21-30:  ‘Jesus said to the Pharisees: I am going away and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin.  Where I am going, you cannot come.’

~

Question 5: “Jesus then repeated His words to the Pharisees,  You belong to what is below.  I belong to what is above.  You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world.  You will die in your sins.’  Was He telling them their souls could not go to Heaven’s eternal joy?

Answer:  “To remove any doubt about their decision to condemn their own souls by sinning against the Sanctity of God, He Who Fulfilled over 300 Old Testament Prophecies repeated more Words that Pharisees still hate Him for saying:   ‘For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.’

~

Question 6:  “How can anyone ignore God’s Prophets, reject He Who Fulfilled their Prophecies, and think they can go to Heaven?”

Answer:  “For 4,000 years, many angry, bitter, unhappy people have chosen to replace God’s Old Testament with self-serving, writings about ‘How wonderful I am!’  Such unrepentant souls are lost to the endless pain of hell because they do not focus on the inspiring goal Jesus left for us Catholics:  ‘The One Who sent Me is with Me.  He has not left Me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to Him.

~

Question 7:  “Can any person on earth get into Heaven by trying to ‘always do what is pleasing to Him’?”

Answer: “May all be blessed to obey The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope: ‘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.’

Today’s Simple Rhyme:  “Some choose Heaven and some choose hell. /  Vain people do not think too well.”
