Question 1:  “Where do Catholics find the most important question on earth?”

Answer:  “1 Kings 18:20-39 begins with The Question from God!  ‘Ahab sent to all the children of Israel and had the prophets of Baal assemble on Mount Carmel.  Elijah appealed to all the people and asked:  ‘How long will you straddle the issue?  If The Lord is God, follow Him; if Baal, follow him.’

~

Question 2:  “How did God ‘answer’ Elijah?

Answer:  “God ignored the prophets of Baal’s request to send down fire from Heaven and burn their sacrifice.  Then, God did as Elijah asked.  He sent fire from Heaven to not only burn the young bull, but also the ‘wood, stones, and dust’ and water in the trench.’!”

Question 3:  “Is that why Catholics still pray Psalm 25:4-5, ‘Teach me your paths, my God and guide me in Your Truth.’?”

Answer:  “Catholics still find God’s ‘Truth’ in The Church-Creating Word of Jesus Christ whose coming was predicted by The Prophets!  ‘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 4:  “Did He Who Spoke The Catholic Church Into Being tell us that He is The Fulfillment of The Prophecies?”

Answer:  “Mt 5:17-19 answers that!  ‘Jesus said to his disciples:  ‘Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.  I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.’
