The Profiteers of Protestantism hate this Passage! Mark 4, 1-20 includes these Words of Jesus.
“The mystery of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.”
Wow! Jesus is speaking to His Disciples, The First Catholic Bishops! We know they were His Ordained Catholic Bishops because they Founded Catholic Churches.
How do we know they were Catholic Churches? They sent Catholic Representatives to Catholic Councils for hundreds of years! How do we know they were Catholic Councils? They were convened by Catholic Successors to Peter!
Logical people cannot deny that!

Jesus has described the nature of Protestantism. “they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.”
Protestants do not think logically enough to understand. It is His Will that the willfully disobedient “may not be converted and be forgiven.” Obviously, we cannot be “converted” if we refuse to be “forgiven”.
All Protestants refuse to admit that Jesus did give His Catholic priests The Power to let people “be forgiven”! “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”
Then, Jesus described the three types of Protestants with His Word!
~
Type 1 Protestants: The first to fall don’t believe in Him at all! “These are the ones on the path where the word is sown. As soon as they hear, Satan comes at once and takes away the word sown in them.”
They let Satan erase the Truth of Jesus’ Teachings from their minds.
~
Type 2 Protestants: The second to fall believe only a little.
“And these are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, receive it at once with joy.”
They think it is enough to repeat the usual silliness. “I am born again! I believe so I am saved! Catholics worship idols!”
Jesus describes them and their fate. “They last only for a time. Then when tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.”
~
Type 3 Protestants replace Jesus with their desires: “Those sown among thorns are another sort. They are the people who hear the word, but worldly anxiety, the lure of riches, and the craving for other things intrude and choke the word, and it bears no fruit.”
They put their “craving” before God. They break The First Commandment.
~
Then, Jesus describes obedient Catholics.
“But those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.”

It’s easy to see why The Profiteers of Protestantism hate this passage!
