Catholics agree:  “Logic gets us closer to God.  Vanity keeps us away!”  St. John 1:1 tells us:

“In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Jesus is “The Word of God” in human form.  Logic tells us:  Every Teaching of Jesus Christ is Truth.

Catholics deal ourselves a winning hand!

1.  There were about 60 million people in The Roman Empire when Jesus Christ was born.  The average age of death was around 50.  To maintain that population, about 1.2  million babies were born every year.

2.  Every year, about 600,000 boys were born.

3.  The Prophet Micah predicted that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.  It was a small village.   2 boys were born there, every year.

4.  The chances that one of those boys would be The Prophesied Messiah in any year?  1 in 300,000.

5.  The Three Wise Men were astronomers.  They studied 3,000 years of star charts.  They knew when The Messiah would be born.

6.  In Jerusalem, the scribes told them where Jesus would be born.

7.  There were around 60,000 villages, towns, and cities in The Roman Empire.  The chances were 1 in 60,000 that Bethlehem was the town.

8.  Two Prophecies show the odds of Jesus being The Messiah!  1/60,000 x 1/300,000 = 1 in 18,000,000,000!

“I can gamble on a Lottery Ticket.  It has one chance in 300,000,000 of winning the jackpot.  Or, I can strive to obey Every Teaching of Jesus Christ.  If I go to Judgment among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’, I have a 100% chance of getting my immortal soul into Heaven!”

Catholics think logically enough to obey This Teaching of Jesus Christ!

“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.”
