May all be blessed to Think Clearly about one word concerning “The Catholic DNA Upgrade”!
~
Question 1: “What kept the handful of people in the earliest Catholic Church from being overwhelmed when 12 Disciples began to bring Jesus to the billion people in the world who loved their own beliefs?”
Answer: “Acts 4:23-31 shares an amazing detail in One Word used in many translations: ‘After their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them.’
This staggering fact is recognized by many: ‘Catholics became a separate ‘people’ when the first Catholics’ ‘DNA was Upgraded’ by receiving The Body and Blood of Jesus at His Last Supper, our First Catholic Communion!”

Question 2: “Did That Holy Food give a dozen Disciple who became this ‘new people’, each outnumbered by nearly a hundred million to one, the courage to tell the world about Sacraments of The Catholic Church Spoken Into Being by The Only 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’?”
Answer: “They realized ‘all the Gentiles‘ were now the people in the world without God’s ‘DNA Upgrade’. The First Catholic Bishops knew Psalm 2:1-9 and ‘Why nations would rage and the peoples utter folly’. They saw how ‘The kings of the earth had taken their stand and the princes gathered together against The Lord and His annointed.’ They knew there were hostile Gentiles on every side ‘who had gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus, Herod and Pontius Pilate together with the Gentles and the peoples of Israel,. . .’”

Question 3: “What did this ‘New Catholic people’ do?”
Answer: “They asked God to help them overcome the vast multitude of often hostile Gentiles around them! ‘And now, Lord, take note of their threats and enable your servants to speak Your word with all boldness, as You stretch forth Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.’”

Question 4: “Did the Psalms mention the ‘DNA Upgrade’ that Catholics would receive?”
Answer: “Psalm 2:8 is as clear as it needs to be to understand what God said about every Catholic’s ‘DNA Upgrade’! ‘Ask it of Me and I will give you the nations as your inheritance’.
No one can be among His Salvation-receiving ‘heirs’ while rejecting The Call to Catholic Communion the often-Prophesied Son of God repeated 12 times in the last half of 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 5: “Did Jesus agree about the importance of His ‘DNA Upgrade’?”
Answer: “Jesus explains that in His Word to Nicodemus in John 3:1-8: ‘Amen, Amen, I say unto you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see The Kingdom of God.’
Then, Jesus repeats that to make it as clear it needs to be: ‘Amen, amen, I say unto you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter The Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’”

Today’s Simple Rhyme: “Christ’s Blessed Love / lets us ‘be born from above’. / Christ’s Body and Blood / Keeps us out of the mud. / “
