How often does The Book of James tell us to “Be Catholic!”? #7.

The Great Confusion in every human mind is shown in ‘words’ spoken by our “tongue”!

~

Question 24: “What is The Great Confusion in our mind that is shown by ‘words’ from our ‘tongue’?”

Answer: “James 3:9-10 describes The Great Confusion! ‘We use our tongue to bless the Lord and Father, but we also use it to curse men who are made in God’s image: the blessing and the curse come out of the same mouth. My brothers, this must be wrong.

The next two Verses show The Great Confusion in every human mind!

3:11 ‘does any water supply give a flow of fresh water and salt water out of the same pipe?’

3:12 ‘Can a fig tree give you olives, my brothers, or a vine give figs? No more can sea water give you fresh water.’

~

Question 25: “How can we see the difference between Real Wisdom and The Great Confusion?”

Answer: “St. James tells us in the next verse, James 3:13! ‘If there are any wise or learned men among you, let them show it by their good lives, with humility and wisdom in their actions.’

3:14 ‘But if at heart you have the bitterness of jealousy, or a self-seeking ambition, never make any claims for yourself or cover up the truth with lies’

3:15 ‘principles of this kind are not the wisdom that comes down from above: they are only earthly, animal, and devilish.’

~

Question 26: “How can God’s Wisdom keep us from The Great Confusion that turns people into ‘earthly, devilish animals’?”

Answer: “St. James 3:16 answers That Important Question! ‘Wherever you find jealousy and ambition, you find disharmony, and wicked things of every kind being done’

~

Question 27: Do ‘jealousy’ plus ‘ambition’ let the Seven Deadly Sins of ‘pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth’ gain power over human minds?

Answer: “All Seven Deadly Sins take form in ‘jealousy’ plus ‘ambition’! That soul-devouring confusion keeps God’s Wisdom from curing billions of minds from The Great Confusion.”

~

Question 28: “How do we know if we are being driven into The Great Confusion by ‘jealousy’ and ‘ambition’?”

Answer: “St. James tells us in the 17th verse of Chapter 3. ‘whereas the wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it also makes for peace, and is kindly and considerate; it is full of compassion and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it.’

Every person is blessed with the ability to tell the difference between ‘peace, kindness, consideration, and compassion’ and their opposites! Every person may choose to be ‘doing good’ and valuing truth more than ‘partiality’ and ‘hypocrisy’.”

~

Question 29: “What should every person do?”

Answer: “If we want Jesus to admit our souls into Heaven, we will be among those described in James 3:18!

‘Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness.’

God’s Word is telling us what every Catholic knows! It is necessary to ‘work’ for peace! It is necessary to ‘sow the seeds’ if we want our lives to ‘bear fruit in holiness’ that will let our souls be pleasing to God at our Judgment.”

~

What a blessing to be Catholic and be saved from all that is ‘earthly, animal, and devilish’ by obeying This Word of Jesus Christ, being in His Church, and getting His ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’!

‘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.’
