Two kinds of earthly ‘leaven’ will not feed our souls. God’s ‘leaven’ will let us live in joy, forever!
~
Question 1: “Does James 1:12-18 tell us which people on earth are ‘blessed’?”
Answer: “Those who do not give in to ‘temptation’ are specifically identified as being ‘blessed by God’. ‘Bessed is he who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proven he will receive the crown of life that Jesus promised to those who love Him.’”
~
Question 2: “Is is God’s fault if we are ‘tempted’?”
Answer: “St. James is very clear about that! ‘No one experiencing temptation should say,
“I am being tempted by God”; for God is not subject to temptation to evil, and He Himself tempts no one.’”
~
Question 3: “If ‘temptations’ do not come from God, where do they come from?”
Answer: “‘. . . each person is tempted when lured and enticed by his or her desire. Then desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.’”
~
Question 4: “Where do the ‘desires’ for sin come from?”
Answer: “Seven Tribes of demons, pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth are living forms of ‘temptation’. Demons lead everyone they can to reject God’s Saving Power: ‘The Mercy of Jesus”
~
Question 5: “How can we save ourselves from demons who want to confuse our minds and lead our immortal souls to burn with them forever in what Rev, 22:15 calls ‘the lake of fire’?”
Answer: “Three sentences, from Psalm, 94:12-19, tell us how to save our souls from a fate worse than death!
1. ‘Blessed the person whom You instruct, O Lord, whom by Your law You teach, Giving them rest from evil days.
2. For The Lord will not cast off His people, nor abandon His inheritance; But judgment shall again be with justice, and all the upright of heart shall follow it.
3. When I say, ‘My foot is slipping,’ Your mercy, O Lord, sustains me; When cares abound within me, Your comfort gladdens my soul.’
Before and after each sentence, Catholics say ‘Blessed the person You instruct, O Lord.’”
~
Question 6: “What do Catholics read after that?”
Answer: “We say ‘Alleluia, aleluia!’ to precede and follow This Soul-Saving Truth from John 14:23!
‘Whoever loves me will keep My Word, says the Lord; and my Father will love that person and We will come to each of them.’”
~
Question 7: “What Word of Jesus guides ‘each’ of us Catholics to follow Him instead of other earthly powers?”
Answer: “Today’s Gospel is from Mark 8:14-21. It contains One Sentence that guides every Catholic to The Saving Mercy of Jesus:
‘Jesus specifically told them: ‘Watch out! Guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’”
~
Catholics know! Jesus is telling us that The Profiteers of Protestantism work with worldly authorities to keep people’s souls from being saved by The Call to God’s ‘leaven’ that Jesus Christ repeated 14 times! ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’
Many lost souls hate for us to have ‘the leaven of God’ provided by The Miracle of Transubstantiation in Every Catholic Mass to those blessed to forever be among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
