We all make decisions! Every hour! Every day! Every week! At any moment, our life is a combined total of our earlier decisions.

What is “a decision”? Catholics know! Every decision is a bet.

With every decision, we make this bet! “I am betting that my decision is right!”

~

Catholics know something else! “I am living with the results of my earlier decisions.” We know! The problems we have were all caused by “Bad Bets”.

Honest people know! My “Bad Bets” have hurt me and other people. Many consider The Catholic Bet.

This is “The Catholic Bet”! “I bet that Every Teaching of Jesus Christ is worthy of my obedience.”

Why do Catholics make that bet?

“I hate my ‘Bad Bets’! They have hurt me and other people. My ‘Bad bets’ may keep me out of Heaven!”

Then, every logical person asks The Hard Question! “Who decides if my soul will get into Heaven?”

~

The answer is in The Bible! Jesus Christ decides whose souls get into Heaven! Jesus Christ told us of the only souls He allows into Heaven! “You are My friends if you obey My commands.

Catholics are blessed with Understanding! “I bet that it is best to go to Judgment among the obedient “friends” of Jesus Christ. I bet that it is a ‘Bad Bet’ to go to His Judgment among His willfully disobedient enemies!”

Every Catholic knows! “It would be stupid for me to bet against Any Teaching of Jesus Christ!”

~

Catholics bet their souls on obeying Every Word of Jesus Christ! We begin by taking advantage of The Great Power He gave every Catholic priest! Every Catholic priest is Ordained in Living Link with The First Catholic Bishops.

Their Ordination by Jesus Christ provides This Power Of Jesus Christ on earth!

“Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”

Catholics make This Bet: “Every Teaching of Jesus Christ is a ‘command’ I must obey!”
