Catholics or Willful Protestants: Who thinks most clearly? 3.

.               God planted Himself as a “seed” on earth.  The Words of Jesus are “seeds” that Catholics plant in our minds.

~

Question 1:   Which of God’s Words do Willful Protestants not think clearly about?”

Answer:  “No Willful Protestant wants to think clearly enough to connect This Word of God in Luke 8:11:  ‘The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower;  all who come to him will live for ever.’

With

This Word of God in Mt. 16:18-20!  ‘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;  . . .’

~

Question 2:  “Does Jesus tell us how ‘Words of God’ help us?”

Answer:  “Words of God are His ‘seeds’.   He plants them  in our minds.  If we let them grow, they feed our soul!  Mt 13:1-9 is clear.   ‘And He spoke to them at length in parables, saying:  ‘A sower (that’s Jesus!) went out to sow.  And as He sowed, some seed (His Words) fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.’   Those ‘birds’ kept the ‘seeds’ from being planted in the minds of people.

~

Question 3:   “What are The ‘birds’ ?”

Answer:   “The ‘birds’ in those evil ‘flocks’ try to stop Words of God from being planted in people’s minds.   They condemn their souls by keeping other souls from being in Heaven.”

~

Question 4:  “What about these ‘seeds’ ‘Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil.   It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.’?”

Answer:  “The thin ‘soil’ describes those who would not use more of their minds to think clearly.   Bright light lets us see how their souls become ‘withered’.”

~

Question 5:  “Who is described by ‘Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.’?

Answer:  “They are people who let earthly desires keep them from thinking clearly about the fate of their immortal souls.”

~

Question 6:  “What about the ‘seeds’ that these people allow to grow in their minds:   ‘But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.’?”

Answer:  “Those people are blessed!   They have so much love for God that they spend their lives planting His Actual Words, including:  ‘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, . . .’

~

Question 7:  “Do all of us have a duty to let those ‘seeds’, His Actual Words, take ‘root’ and grow in our minds?”

Answer:  “The word ‘ought’ in His next sentence is a ‘seed’‘Whoever has ears ought to hear.’  If we do not do as we ‘ought’ to do, and plant His Actual Words deeply in our mind, we keep our soul from being forever among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’

Catholics think clearly enough to know!  Everyone can be, and ‘ought’ to be, among His obedient ‘friends’!
