Humble obedience lets Catholics be Catholic. It is a gift from God that lets us have “The Keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.
~
Question 1: “What ‘Connection’ do only Catholics make?”
Answer: “Catholics make the ‘Connection’ between our immortal souls and This Word of God in Mt. 5:12! ‘Rejoice and be glad your reward will be great in heaven.’”
~
Question 2: “How do Catholics make the ‘connection’ between that and the fact that their souls have ‘reward’ in ‘Heaven’?”
Answer: “Catholics are simple-minded! It is a simple fact that we cannot get into Heaven if we reject the specific ‘keys TO The Kingdom of Heaven’ that Jesus gave to Peter and The Catholic Church!
‘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.’”
~
Question 3: “Don’t all Christians have those ‘keys’?”
Answer: “Many think they do! The only people who actually have those ‘keys’ from Jesus get them from those Ordained in living link with he who received them directly and specifically from Jesus.”
~
Question 4: “Willful Protestants think that’s not fair! Shouldn’t everyone who wants to get into Heaven be admitted?”
Answer: “That never seems ‘fair’ to the vain! 1 Cor 1:26-31 is very clear. ‘Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.’”
~
Question 5: “To whom did God give the ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’?”
Answer: “Not to rich, proud people! ‘Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God.’”
~
Question 6: “Do Catholics take credit for being ‘foolish’, ‘unwise’, ‘weak’, ‘lowly’, and ‘despised’ people ‘who count for nothing’?”
Answer: “Catholics try to not take credit for anything! The humility that lets us get Christ’s ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ is a gift from Him that we are grateful to have received!”
~
Question 7: “Are The Profiteers of Protestantism wrong to proudly proclaim that they have better ways to get Christ’s ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ for their donors?”
Answer: “No one can have what they reject! Catholics are blessed to know: ‘It is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, Who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, ‘Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.’”
That’s why Catholics are Catholic!
