Jer. 7, 23:28 tells us “This is what I commanded My people:  Listen to My voice;  then, I will be your God and you shall be My people.  Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.”  In the Old Testament, God did not say “Listen to some self-important man with a Marketing Plan.”  Since the Year One, we find no changes, conflicts, or contradictions in The Church Jesus Founded.  Sanity is Catholicism.

God describes those who choose to follow the 43,000 teachings of conflicting schisms:  “Yet they have not obeyed My nor paid heed;  they have stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers.”  It is impossible to look at the sins that are encouraged, the countless unborn babies who have been destroyed, and the invasions without realizing:  “Protestants have done worse than their fathers“.

Still, despite their Cain-like tendency to follow one slick Protestant man with a Marketing Plan after another, He sent His Son to save those able to obey.

Luke 11: 14-23 tells us that “Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.  Some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, He drives out demons.”  We see how the vain in every age  seek reasons to justify disobeying Him.

Others ask Jesus for “a sign from heaven.”  Endlessly asking for proof is a sign that demons of vanity have taken control of a mind.  “But He knew their thoughts and said to them, ‘Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.'”  In our time, we see “the kingdom divided against itself” include the 43,000 competing Protestant groups vying for donors, credibility, and, often, primacy.

“And if Satan is divided against himself,  how will his kingdom stand?”  None within the “Kingdoms of The Schisms” stand, but are “laid to waste” and replaced by new ones.  “For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.  If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own experts  drive them out?”
(AND THIS IS SCARY!)  “Let them be your judges then.”   The souls of those who refuse to follow Jesus will be judged by their own demons!    The disobedient will be judged by their own demons!   Jesus says that demons will judge.  We know that judges have the power to pass sentence on their immortal souls.Can any sane person understand that, picture the unholy, unending wrath of the Courts Below and not be drawn to The Only Church Jesus Founded?

He ends the passage with a dire warning, and we pray that all are humble enough to heed:  “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

Best to be Catholic!   No contradictions.  No conflicts.  No changes.  Sanity is Catholicism.
