~Vanity leads many to follow those who tell us what we want to hear.~
~
Question 1: “How do Protestants use St. John’s words in The Bible to avoid obeying Jesus?”
Answer: “They quote John 3:16: ‘God so loved the world that He gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might have eternal life.’”
~
Question 2: “What mistake do Protestants make when they quote that Passage?”
Answer: “They avoid the word ‘might’! Jesus said ‘believers might have eternal life’. Jesus tells us that some ‘believers’ ‘might not’ have ‘eternal life’!”
~
Question 3: “What other mistake do Willful Protestants make?”
Answer: “They rely too much on their opinions of Bible readings! John 5:31-47 describes Willful Protestants who do reject ‘eternal life’: ‘You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on My behalf. But, you‘ (Willful Protestants) ‘do not want to come to Me to have life.‘”
~
Question 4: “Many Willful Protestants love to repeat ‘Praise the Lord!‘ Isn’t that enough?”
Answer: “Jesus gives a clear answer: ‘No’! ‘I do not accept human praise;’ Then, Jesus tells them the truth about themselves: ‘moreover, I know that you (Willful Protestants who only ‘believe and praise’) ‘do not have the love of God in you.’”
~
Question 5: “Can Willful Protestants know that Jesus wants more from them than ‘belief’ and ‘praise’?
Answer: “They can see how Jesus described the vanity of Willful Protestants! ‘I came in the name of My Father, but you do not accept Me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.’ Willful Protestants will ‘accept’ anyone who makes them feel good about themselves!”
~
Question 6: “That’s true! Did Jesus tell us how wrong that ‘acceptance‘ is?”
Answer: “Jesus asks every Willful Protestant one Question! ‘How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?”
~
Question 7: “How can Willful Protestants move up from ‘searching Scripture‘, ‘belief’ and ‘praise’ and get their souls into Heaven?”
Answer: “Jesus told us! Those who meaningfully ‘accept’ Him will get these ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’! ‘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, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.’”
~
Question 7: “Why do Willful Protestants have a hard time ‘accepting’ and obeying That Word of Jesus?”
Answer: “Protestantism is popular because it infects many with believing ‘My opinion is my god’. That violation of The First Commandment keeps many souls from Heaven.”
