Jesus Christ on The Cross is the life-saving ‘seraph serpent’ that God told Moses to make and put up on a pole, 3,200 years ago. May every Willful Protestant be blessed to Think Clearly about Simple Facts.
~
Question 1: “What have Willful Protestants been complaining about for 3200 years?”
Answer: “Numbers 21:4-9 tells us people have been complaining about God since Moses led The Twelve Tribes out of Egypt! ‘With their patience worn out by the journey, the people complained against God and Moses, ‘Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!’”
~
Question 2: “How did God make them stop ‘complaining’?”
Answer: “God ‘punished’ them! ‘In punishment The Lord sent among the people seraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died.’”
~
Question 3: “What made God stop killing the complainers?”
Answer: “When they asked for His mercy, God ordered Moses to ‘make a graven image of a bronze serpent and mount it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.’”
~
Question 4: “Do The Psalms tell us to remember that if we ask God to save us, He will?”
Answer: “Psalms 78:1-2, 34-35, 36-37, and 38 tell us: ‘Hearken, My people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of My mouth. I will open My mouth in a parable, I will utter mysteries from of old.’
The Catholic Response: ‘Do not forget the works of The Lord!’”
~
Question 5: “Did Jesus Christ tell us to ‘remember the works of The Lord’?”
Answer: “Jesus died in such a way that He would become ‘God’s seraph serpent’ to remind us to stop complaining, obey God, and be saved!
Jesus explained that Simple Fact in John 3:13-17: ‘Jesus said to Nicodemus: ‘No one has gone up to heaven except The One Who has come down from heaven, The Son of Man. And, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must The Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.’”
~
Question 6: “Why do Willful Protestants refuse to ‘believe enough’ about that to have images of The Crucified Jesus in their homes and churches?”
Answer: “They would rather die than obey The Holy Word with Which The Crucified Jesus Christ Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being with His Holy Word:
‘And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
~
Question 7: “Early Willful Protestants who refused to look on the bronze image of the ‘seraph serpent’ on the pole died. Do those who refuse to ‘believe’ The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus Christ repeated 14 times also die? ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’”
Answer: May every Willful Protestant be blessed to Think Clearly about that Simple Fact.”
