May all be blessed to stand with God by “wanting peace with all people”.
~
Question 1: “Why is it important to be among those blessed to live by the short sentence in Hebrews 12:14, ‘Always be wanting peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one can see God.’?”
Answer: “That sentence connects every Catholic with every neighbor and with The God Who made them ‘in His image and likeness’ (Gen 1:27).”
~
Question 2: “What if we want to avoid being at ‘peace’ with any of our neighbors?”
Answer: “We keep our immortal souls from ‘the holiness without which no one can see God.’ He created those who sin.”
~
Question 3: “Is The Bible telling us that if we choose to fight with our neighbors instead of ‘wanting peace’ with them we keep our souls from ever being blessed to ‘see God’ in Heaven?”
Answer: “We must always be ‘wanting peace’ with all, even those with whom we disagree.”
~
Question 4: “Should we be ‘wanting peace’ with neighbors who use political activity to benefit themselves while pretending to help others?”
Answer: “We are not fighting with neighbors, but with the demons of self-righteousness who lead them to think they are above obeying ‘Thou shall not bear false witness.’ and ‘Thou shall not steal.’”
~
Question 4: “How can we be ‘wanting peace’ with people who let demons lead them to hurt their neighbors?”
Answer: “First: we change the way we think! We read the simple rule from John 8:7: ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.’ and stop thinking we are sinless.
Second: We connect that understanding with: ‘Love God and your neighbor as yourself.’
Third: We realize that Ephesians 6:12 tells us: ‘For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’
Fourth: After we realize we are not fighting with people, but with fallen angels who do not want us to seek ‘peace with all people’ we ask God to help us win our battles in His War.”

Question 5: “Do we learn anything else by wanting ‘peace with all people’?”
Answer: “Those who see that Every Word of He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies is Truth are more likely to get these ‘keys’ that Jesus gave to His First Catholic Pope: ‘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.’”
