. Catholics are blessed with images that keep us from being “worn out by the journey”.

Question 1: “Why do some Protestants like to say: ‘Catholics worship idols.’?”

Answer: “It is a popular excuse for disobeying This Word of Jesus! ‘And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.’

Question 2: “Do those Protestants know the difference between God’s Holy images and ‘idols’?

Answer: “They ignore The Bible they say they believe! 3,500 years ago, God ordered Moses to have ‘graven images’ of Cherubim made and put onto The Ark of The Covenant (Exodus 25:18)! God also told Moses to make an image of “bronze snake and put it on a pole’. God gave that ‘image’ the power to cure ‘whoever looked at it’ (Numbers 21:4-9)!”

Question 3: “What happened when people’s ‘patience was (and always is!) worn out by the journey’?”

Answer: “People were ‘complaining’ about God before we were evicted from Eden! 3,500 years ago, ‘they complained against God and Moses’ and were ‘disgusted’.

~

Question 4: “How does God punish ‘complainers’ who let themselves be ‘worn out on the journey’?”

Answer: “He sends ‘saraph serpents’, their own sins in living form. They always ‘bite the people’ who will not look at His images of obedience ‘so that many of them died.’

~

Question 5: “What did the better people understand?”

Answer: “They realized, then and now, ‘We have sinned in complaining against The Lord and you. Pray The Lord to take the serpents away from us.’

~

Question 6: “What did God tell Moses to do?”

Question 6: “‘The Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a saraph and mount it on a pole, and whoever looks at it after being bitten will live. Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.’

~

Question 6: “Are Catholic Images of God’s Holy Saints and Angels the ‘seraph serpents’ that Christ has been sending us for 2,000 years?”

Answer: “Many are blessed understand that simple fact. They will ask His Holy Saints and Angels to intercede with God and cure the vanity that keeps their ‘complaining’ souls from ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ God left to His Church on Earth.”
