Souls: Smaller is better.

.                           Jesus Christ told us how to let our sin-swollen soul fit through the tiny “gates” of Heaven.

~

Question 1:  “What is our soul?”

Answer:  “Our soul is the immortal spark of life that came into being when we were conceived.  It is as unique as our DNA.”

~

Question 2:  “What happens when our body dies?”

Answer:   “Our soul goes to Judgment.”

~

Question 3:  “Whose souls get into Heaven?”

Answer:  “Those whom Jesus decides are among:  ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’

~

Question 4:  “How big is our soul?”

Answer:  “It fit inside us when we were smaller than a grain of salt.  It may be the size of a living atom, electron, or photon.”

~

Question 5:  “Can a soul change in size?”

Answer:  “A bubble gets bigger when more air gets in it.   Our soul gets bigger when it is swollen by sin.”

~

Question 6:  “Is every human soul swollen with the Original Sin of Adam and Eve in The Garden of Eden?”

Answer:  “Yes.  That sin is removed by Baptism with water in The Name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”

~

Question 7:  “Can a soul swollen by sin get into Heaven?”

Answer:  “A thread can go through the eye of a needle.  A string cannot.  Neither can a rope.  Our soul must be small enough to fit through one of the 12 ‘Pearly Gates’ that open into The Kingdom of Heaven.  Each may be as small as one molecule of pearlescent material.”

~

Question 8:  “How can we keep our soul small enough to fit through the tiny gates of Heaven?”

Answer:  “Catholics are blessed.  We Confess our sins.  We receive Absolution from a Catholic priest.  They are the only people on earth given This Power by Jesus Christ in John 20:23.  ‘Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’   The absolved soul is no longer swollen by sin.”

~

Question 9:  “Why doesn’t everyone obey That Word of Christ, Confess their sins, receive Absolution from a Catholic priest, and be able to get into Heaven?”

Answer:  “All the people whose souls are swollen by sin agree on one thing!   ‘We know more than Jesus Christ about getting into Heaven!’
