.             Catholics know two things.   1.  Many people deceive their neighbors.  2.  Many let themselves be deceived.

~

Question 1:  “What does it mean to ‘deceive’ someone?”

Answer:  “Many people will tell lies to get money from neighbors.  They use ‘deception’.”

~

Question 2:  “What is the worst deception?”

Answer:  “The worst deception causes the greatest damage.  Keeping a soul from Heaven is the worst possible deception.”

~

Question 3:  “People sometimes let themselves be deceived.  Are they better, or worse, than those who deceive them?”

Answer:  “Both are choosing to bear false witness.   Every immortal soul is hurt by every kind of deception that keeps it from Heaven.”

~

Question 4:  “Are the willful deceiver and the willfully deceived both guilty for the fate of souls they kept from life or Baptism?”

Answer:  “There is no greater sin than keeping a soul from Heaven.   All who participate in that kind of sin are guilty of an awful crime.”

~

Question 5:  “What if neither of them knew any better?”

Answer:  “Everyone decides whether or not to obey The Great Decree of Jesus Christ ‘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.’ (emphasis added for clarity)”

~

Question 6:  “What happens to those who willfully disobey Any Teachings of Jesus Christ or His Church?”

Answer:  “They have chosen to let evil spirits from ‘the gates of hell’ enter into and deceive their minds.”

~

Question 7:  “How can we have our soul go to His Judgment and be among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’?”

Answer:  “Catholics are blessed to know!   The Great Decree of Jesus Christ has given us the ‘keys’ we need.  They are The Seven Catholic Sacraments.  We have another ‘key’!   Catholics request His Blessed Saints and Angels in Heaven to ask God to help us stay obedient to all of His Teachings.

Deception leads Willful Protestants to reject 5 of Christ’s ‘keys’ and help from His Holy Saints and Angels!”
