Question 1: “What ‘first step’ do Catholics take?”
Answer: “First, we try to be pleasing to God. Our ‘spirit’ is what connects each of our ‘body parts’ to our brain and keeps all of them working together. Our soul is the unique ‘spark of life’ with which God formed us in His Image. Catholics work to get our ‘soul in control!’ of the spirit that keeps all our ‘body parts’ working.”
~
Question 3: “Have God’s chosen people always done that?”
Answer: “That is what Revelation 9-14 tells: ‘After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and language. They stood before the throne and before The Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.’”
~
Question 4: “Does ‘every nation, race, people, and language’ include all the people who ever lived, including those who disappeared over the past hundreds of thousands of years?”
Answer: “‘Every’ is an all-inclusive Word from God that means ‘every’!”
~
Question 4: “What does ‘every’ soul who meaningfully obeyed God on earth do in Heaven?”
Answer: “They are blessed to do this, forever: ‘They cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation comes from our God, Who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.’”
~
Question 5: “Are souls of primitive people in the early days of The Stone Age among those who eternally praise God in Heaven?”
Answer: “‘Every’ means ‘every’! ‘Every’ group of people for hundreds of thousands of years has included people who tried to ‘love God and their neighbors as themselves’.”
~
Question 6: “What happened next, in St. John’s vision?”
Answer: “‘Then one of The Elders spoke up and asked me, ‘Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?’ I said to him, “My Lord, you are the one who knows.’”
~
Question 7: “Who are all those people from ‘every nation, race, people, and language’?”
Answer: “‘He said to me, ‘These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.’”
~
Question 8: “Why did God take Human Form on earth in fulfillment of His Prophets?”
Answer: “Jesus came to give those who meaningfully respected Every Word of God a way to be forever among those wearing ‘white robes’ before The Throne of God. He died to let every person on earth choose to have ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ from The Only Church He spoke Into Being with His Word!
‘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 9: “Can a person who willfully and knowingly rejects those ‘keys’ be among those wearing ‘white robes’ in Heaven?”
Answer: “May all of us be blessed to Think Clearly about the simple fact! Only those who obeyed God’s Word may be among: ‘These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.’”
~
Question 10: “Does The Old Testament confirm that?”
Answer: “Psalm 24:6 is clear: ‘Such is the race that seeks Him, that seeks the face of The God of Jacob.’ Catholics respond to that because we are in that blessed ‘race’ of people who respond:
‘Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.’”
~
May we all be blessed to understand: If we willfully and knowingly reject the specific ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ that Jesus gave only to His Catholic Church, we keep our immortal soul from wearing ‘white robes in Heaven’, forever. May God bless us all to “Get our soul in control!”
