Fear of God’s Judgment leads many to justify willful disobedience with this Pride: “I know more than God about getting my soul into Heaven.”
~
Question 1: “What ‘fear’ keeps people from obeying God?”
Answer: “Many are afraid of losing approval from powerful groups who make a living by disobeying Words of God.”
~
Question 2: “What Word of God do fearful people disobey?”
Answer: “Fearful people choose to live in the Pride that justifies their disobedience to This Word of God: ‘Thou shall have no other Gods before Me.’”
~
Question 3: “What are the ‘other gods’ that fearful people end up worshiping?”
Answer: “Evil uses Seven Tribes of Demons to take over ‘body parts’ in our mind. Pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth justify ignoring the rightful ‘fear of God’. The more of those demons they ‘put before God’, the more they gain by being approved by powerful people on earth.”
~
Queston 4: “What do those people end up doing?”
Answer: “They refuse to meaningfully obey This Word of Jesus Christ, The Prophesied Messiah. The Second Person of The Holy Trinity took Human Form on earth and gave This Command to those who would meaningfully follow Him: ‘Love God and love your neighbors as yourselves.’”
~
Question 5: “What happens when ‘families, peoples, nations, and languages’ lead people to not ‘Love God and their neighbors as themselves.’?”
Answer: “History is a clear record! Those most overcome by Pride always create and control political structures that allow them to use armed agents and agencies to take money from their neighbors as greedy gluttons replace freedom and families with slavery.”
~
Question 6: “How should we deal with that sad reality?”
Answer: “Catholics define the problem! We see that Fear and Pride keep many from having meaningful Faith in God. Then, we strive to ‘love our neighbors as ourselves’. Those who inflict armed agencies and agents upon us in their fall from freedom to slavery are the ‘neighbors’ among those in most need of our prayers.”
~
Question 7: “What is the first step to rising to the level where we can pray for the souls of gluttonous oppressors?”
Answer: “We may meaningfully strive to obey Teachings of The Only Church on earth Spoken Into Being by This Word of Jesus Christ: ‘And 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.’”
~
Question 8: “What eternal benefit can that provide?”
Answer: “Working to Think Clearly about Who Jesus Is will lead us to heed This Teaching of His Church: ‘Life must be protected from conception until natural death.’ That may allow us to go to Judgment among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
~
Question 9: “Can only Catholics get those ‘keys’ to ‘The Kingdom of Heaven’?”
Answer: “His Church answers that: ‘People of good will may be saved if they are not Catholic through no fault of their own.’”
~
May we all be blessed to go to The Judgement of our souls protected by The Mercy of Jesus.
