Jesus divides people into two groups.  The obedient are forever among: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.” 

To be among His “friends“, we must obey His commands.  The commands of Jesus include The Decree:

“Verily, verily 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.”

Those are The Words by by which Jesus brought The Only Church He Founded into Being.  He gave His Church “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.

Many do not want to be obedient Catholics.   “I do not want to obey a lot of Catholic rules, but I do want to get to Heaven!

So, Protestantism was invented.  It takes form in 45,000 Marketing Plan Denominations.  They insist, “Jesus gave me my own set of “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven“!  You do not need to obey The Decree.

Many make a living by convincing donors to disobey The Decree.

“You do not need to be ‘Catholic’ to get to Heaven.  You are a good person!  You are smart, too!  I know that you are going to Heaven!  Now, give me some money.”

That thought is justified by many personal opinions:  “I believe in Jesus, so I am saved!”  Others insist,”I am going to Heaven because I’ve been born again!” Millions embrace the notion:  “I believe in Jesus and The Bible, so I am going to Heaven.”

They are all unable to answer:  “How can anyone be among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’ while willfully and knowingly choosing to ignore The Decree:

‘Verily, verily 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.’?”

Jesus divides people into two groups.  It is best, now and forever, to be Catholic, obedient, and in The Only Church Jesus Founded.
