God’s IQ Test. #81. “Am I able to understand simple Bible passages?”

.                                                                       May The Holy Spirit speak in our ear!

Mt. 10:24-33 gives us simple reasons to be Catholic!  “Jesus said to his Apostles:  ‘No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master.  It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher,  .  .  .”

Question 1:  Can a true “disciple” of Christ be “like his Teacher” while willfully disobeying Any Teaching from Jesus Chris?”

Catholics answer:  “No.”

Willful Protestants:  “I refuse to think logically about that.”

~

Jesus continues:  “What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;  what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”

Question 2:  “Will true ‘disciples’ of Jesus proclaim This Word of His on “the housetops”?  “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.” 

Catholics answer:  “Yes.”

Willful Protestants:  “No!”

~

Jesus tells us of Whom we should “be afraid”!

“And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;  rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”

Question 3:  “Should an intelligent person “be afraid” of standing before Jesus after pretending to be His ‘disciple’ while willfully disobeying His Teachings?”

Catholic:  “Yes!”

Willful Protestants:  “Jesus has to let me into Heaven.”

~

“Everyone who acknowledges Me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.  But whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before My Heavenly Father.”

Question 4.  “If I willfully “deny” Any Teaching of Jesus “before others”, will I be kept out of Heaven?”

Answer:  “How many times do I have to read That Teaching from Jesus before answering ‘Yes!’?”

~

Catholics connect That Teaching of Jesus to 1 Peter 4:14.   “If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of God rests upon you.”

Question 5:  “Should Catholics rejoice to be “insulted” for trying to obey Every Teaching of Christ?”

Answer:   “Is there a better way to be ‘blessed’ by “the spirit of God” Who “rests upon us.”?
