Each Protestant schism was invented by An Ambitious Man with a Marketing Plan. The collective noun that describes them? They are the “Pastor Bobs”.
The efforts of tens of thousands of Pastor Bobs have resulted in 43,000 “brands” of Protestant denominations, the “Pastor Bobisms”.
Pastor Bobisms run the gamut from mass murderers like Jim Jones (killed 900) and John Calvin (burned 80 or 90 at the stake) to the more profound and Christian John Wesleys. Many who make a living within the 43,000 Pastor Bobisms want to fund a common urge: “Preaching beats working!”
While the Pastor Bobs compete for donors, their Marketing Plans share one realization: “The greatest danger to our incomes is The Catholic Church. It has an ancient history, a profound Catechism, and was founded by Jesus. Our Marketing Plans must make people think our own founding Pastor Bob and our precious Pastor Bobism is preferable to The Only Church that was actually founded by Jesus.”
So, we see untruths like Pastor Bob Boo-boo #1 among the many, many, many “small, sharing, caring, Bible-believing, family, Evangelical” groups that have gone beyond traditional Protestantism into the enshrining of a staggering simple-mindedness that must be seen to be believed. Pastor Bob booboo #1 attacks the validity of Catholic Communion with a cunning lie:
“
So, we see what the Pastor Bobs said The Catholic Church believes. Note the intentional use of “re-sacrifice”. Now, let’s see the plain, simple truth of what The Church actually believes:
Catholic Cathechism, #1366, The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies its fruit:
1367 The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice:”
It is important to see the the intentional bearing of false witness in the Pastor Bob Boo-boo #1. Cunning marketers intentionally used the word “re-sacrifice”, and emphasized it by quotation marks, and deceptively hid the true word, “re-presentation”, without quotation marks afterwards, to make it seem to be of little importance, but still there, so they can say “See, we told the truth.”, even as they do not.
If you see the cunning of the lie, you may be being called to Catholicism! Pastor Bob Boo-boo #1 says The Catholic Mass is a “re-sacrifice”, which would put The Church in conflict with The Bible it provided Christendom after centuries of persecution, which says, in passages like Heb 9:28 “
We see the truth of what The Catholic Church believes, “Jesus was sacrificed once.” and we see that Popular Pastor Bob Boo-boo #1 is a big, fat lie.
Why do the Pastor Bobs tell such lies about The Mass? The smarter ones know that Jesus’ clear, direct words in John 6:53, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.” refers to Catholic Communion, and they don’t like it.
And, they don’t like it that Catholic priests are are ordained in a living link with the Ordination of The Apostles by Jesus and are, therefore, empowered to actually change bread and wine into The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Pastor Bobs can’t do that.
So, many of them distort, minimize, and hide the power of The Only Church Jesus Founded, even when it comes to the eternal life and death of their own contributors! Such is their true worship. “Preaching beats working.”
Those able to see may choose to pray for guidance.
