May all be blessed to see The Truth in Every Word of Jesus.
~
Question 1: “Why do Catholics focus on This Word 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.’?”
Answer: “Catholics believe that Every Word of Jesus must be obeyed. Willful Protestants do not believe they need to obey That Word of Jesus.”
~
Question 2: “Why don’t Willful Protestants want to believe That Word of Jesus is a Truth they should obey?”
Answer: “They prefer their opinions and beliefs to That Word of Jesus Christ.”
~
Question 3: “Do Willful Protestants think they know more than Jesus?”
Answer: “Yes. They repeat the usual excuses: ‘I cannot be Catholic because Jesus wants me to be true to myself.’”
~
Question 4: “Are any of those self-serving thoughts true?”
Answer: “Every Word of Jesus Christ is Truth. Therefore: Every Word that contradicts a Word of Jesus is a lie.”
~
Question 5: “How can Catholics break through the walls of words that keep the souls of Willful Protestants from having the only ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ that Jesus died to leave on earth?”
Answer: “That is a hard question! If we ignore their vanities, we give them credibility. If we argue with them, they fall farther into error.”
~
Question 6: “What should we do?”
Answer: “Some Willful Protestants are able to understand this: ‘Jesus told us we must ‘Love God and love your neighbors as yourself.’ Since I love my neighbors, I want the best for them. If I do not encourage you to be Catholic, you are more likely to reject Christ’s only specific ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ and suffer the wrath of God, forever.”
We may also explain: ‘There is a ‘Holy Vanity’ that leads us to want the best for ourselves. May all be blessed with the ‘Holy Vanity’ that lets us strive to let our immortal soul be forever among ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
