Catholics know. “Free Will” takes form in “Good Will” or “Bad Will”.

.                                                      People of “Good Will” strive to obey Every Teaching of God.

~

Question 1:  “Does the Catholic Church teach that people who are not Catholics can get into Heaven?”

Answer:  “Yes.  The Catholic Church teaches that ‘People of Good Will may get into Heaven if they are not Catholic through no fault of their own.’

~

Question 2:  “Does That Catholic Teaching help us understand Protestants in every non-Catholic group?”

Answer:  “The Catholic Church tells us that God sees a great difference between ‘Accidental Protestants’ and ‘Willful Protestants’.”

~

Question 3:  “What is the difference between ‘Accidental Protestants’ and ‘Willful Protestants’?”

Answer:  “‘Willful Protestants’ intentionally avoid having enough ‘Good Will’ toward God to gratefully 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; . . .’

~

Question 4:  “Why don’t ‘Willful Protestants’ have enough ‘Good Will’ toward God to obey The Great Decree of Jesus Christ?”

Answer:  “They have let ‘Bad Will’ lead them to disobey Many Teachings from Him.”

~

Question 5:  “Can people choose what kind of “Will” they have?”

Answer:  “God made all Creation, from the farthest galaxies to every image in our mind, to give us ‘Free Will’.”

~

Question 6:  “Does choosing ‘Bad Will’ lead people to willfully disobey Him?”

Answer:   “A ‘Bad Will’ leads people to worship opinions that take form around their desires.  ‘Willful Protestants’ have chosen to have a ‘Bad Will’ about obeying Teachings of Jesus they do not want to follow.”

~

Question 7:  “Are Willful Protestants able to Think Clearly enough to replace ‘Bad Will’ with ‘Good Will’?

Answer:  “Every person is given ‘Free Will’ to make that choice.”

~

Question 7:  “What happens to those who choose ‘Bad Will’ toward Any Teaching of God?”

Answer:  “They keep themselves from going to God’s Judgment among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’  ‘Bad Will’ leads Willful Protestants to be among God’s willfully disobedient enemies.”

~

Question 8:  “Does The Old Testament agree?”

Answer:  “Ezekiel 18 and Psalm 51 include:  ‘if he lives by My statutes and is careful to observe My ordinances, that man is virtuous—he shall surely live, says The Lord God.’

And:   ‘My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;  a heart contrite and humbled, O God, You will not spurn.’

May all be blessed to be of ‘Good Will’ toward Every Word of God.
