Many of us say “I believe in Jesus and The Bible.” Most of us believe “some” rather than “all”.

The Old Testament provides hundreds of prophecies that predict the coming of Jesus. Jesus fulfilled those prophecies. He was utterly truthful, there was no sin in Him. His words are clear, but many are not heeded. More belief is better.

Hundreds of millions of us could pay more attention to the short, simple verse in Matthew 16: 18-20 “And I (Jesus) say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
That passage is as clear and direct that it is possible to be. Jesus appointed one man, St. Peter, as the leader of The Only Church He Founded. He gave that Church the “keys of the Kingdom of Heaven”. He gave The Church of which Peter was in charge the authority to loose (forgive) sins on earth that would be forgiven in Heaven. He also told us that His Church could “bound”, or not forgive, on earth that which would not be forgiven in Heaven.

More belief is better. The more we believe, the better off we are.

If Pro-Life people were in a Pro-Life Church, many lives would be saved.
