. Diamonds are inspected for flaws. Jesus told us how to remove flaws from our soul.
Catholics obey The Teaching with Which Jesus Christ Spoke One Church on earth into being! 16:18-20: “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.”
Then, Catholics read the next sentence that Jesus Christ Spoke to Peter in Mt. 16:19!
“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)
We shudder in horror when we think of doing anything that will make our soul “be loosed in Heaven”!
Catholics do not want our immortal souls to be “loosed” from Heaven! We know . That “you” refers to Catholic priests in The Only Church He left on earth!
~
Jesus Christ specifically told us, in every generation, how we could be “bound” in Heaven. John 20:23: “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven . .”
Catholics see The Awesome Power that God gave to Catholic priests. If we make a good Confession, we will receive Absolution. We cannot be “loosed in Heaven”!

At Judgment, Jesus Christ will look at our soul the way a jeweler looks at a diamond. He will see every crack, irregularity, and speck of dirt inside!
Then, he will accept or reject the diamond.
~
If we go to Judgment after willfully refusing to do all that is necessary to receive Absolution from a Catholic priest, we have insulted Jesus Christ!
How?
1. We have willfully ignored Teachings from Him.
2. We have willfully refused to receive His Promised “Absolution” for our disobedience.
3. We willfully think we are so wonderful that “Jesus has to let me into Heaven.”
4. We think Jesus cannot see that we have willfully chosen to not be among: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
