St. Paul became Catholic. Something to think about! #16.

Today, and every day, our Daily Bible Readings tell us to "Be as Catholic as we can!" May all be blessed to honor God's Call to do so.

May all be blessed to “Think Catholic!” about 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 and see that every person is blessed to see from the farthest star to the end of our fingernails.

St. Paul explains the two kinds of people:

“Brothers and sisters:  ‘We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit Who Is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God.'”

Catholics spend our lives realizing that “things freely given us by God” include our body, mind, soul, and all that is in The Loving Programmer’s Creation Program.

“The Spirit of God” blesses Catholics to see where we are in The Loving Programmer’s Creation Program so clearly that we receive The Seven Catholic Sacraments:  Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Healing, and the Holy Orders God and His Church give us to follow.

Catholics are blessed to see that those Seven Catholic Sacraments are among “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” that He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies died to leave 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.”

The errors in all who reject God’s “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” are made clear:  “The natural man does not accept what pertains to The Spirit of God, for to him it is foolishness, and he cannot understand it, because it is judged spiritually.”

Those farthest from “The Spirit Who is from God” believe the words every demon loves to hear:  “I would rather go to hell than ‘Be Catholic!'”

And, every demon hates for anyone to realize:  “St. Paul was so close to God that he became Catholic.  That is a good reason for me to be as Catholic as I can.”

Luke 4:31-37 promises that we will be helped, not hurt, by getting rid of demons. Jesus “rebuked” one of them, and said, “‘Be quiet!  Come out of him!’  Then, the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm.”

May all be blessed to use our remaining time on earth to sincerely seek The Loving Programmer’s forgiveness for every failure to keep some demonic vanity from keeping us from obeying: “Love God and our neighbors as ourselves.”   May all be blessed to be as Catholic as we can.
