Some wonder, Is Protestantism a call to punishment?
Jesus Fulfilled The Prophecies. We know that He founded One Church because He said to only one man: “Verily, verily 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. Whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”
Many reject The Church Jesus Founded for one of a confusing myriad of 45,000 Protestant denominations. Each was invented by an ambitious Protestant man with a Marketing Plan. They all say “I believe in Jesus.”
Luke 12: 47-48 is clear: “That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.”
The Only Church Jesus Founded provides His Body and Blood in Communion. Jesus thought that was so important that He said, eighteen times, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.” Catholic priests are each Ordained in living link with Jesus’ Ordination of The Apostles. They have been Ordained with The Power to bring about The Miracle of Transubstantiation, changing bread and wine into His Body and Blood at every Catholic Mass since The Last Supper.
Many say: “I believe in Jesus, but I do not believe that He was serious, even if He did say eighteen times, ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’ I reject The Catholic Church. My church is just as good.”
Simple souls led into such self-serving separation may be among those who are “shall be beaten only lightly.”
What happens to those who knowingly lead simple souls into their Marketing Plan Denominations for personal gain or employment? It seems unreasonable not to assume they “shall be beaten severely”.
