For 2,000 years, St. Paul’s letter to Europe’s first Catholics, 1 Corinthians 1:17-24, has blessed billions of people to “Be Catholic enough!” to focus on “the cross of Christ”: “Brothers and Sisters: ‘Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.'”
People are blessed in our Age! Cell phones, computers, and the internet help us see ‘meaning’ in ‘the cross of Christ‘. Today’s Catholic Marketing Plan makes it easier to understand:
1. The Loving Programmer Wrote The Creation Program.
2. Over 13 trillion light-years ago, The Holy Spirit Downloaded The Creation Program. It contains everything from the farthest galaxy to the smallest part of every electron and organized energy that gives structure to The Creation Program. Using cell phones, computers, and the internet helps us realize The Holy Spirit Is “The Downloading Verb of God”.
3. Every person who ever lived is one of The Loving Programmer’s beloved “Replicating Free Will Programs”. No one is forced to “Believe in God”. The Creation Program is still expanding, so no one can ever see an end to His Programming Power! That lets all be free to obey or disobey His Words.
4. The Reason for Creation, letting obedient sheep save our immortal souls from the awful fate of willful goats, began to take written form in His Old Testament Programming Guide. We may download Words of God to His Prophets. They left hundreds of Messianic Prophecies that “The Word of God“, the loving essence of The Creation Program, would take Human Form. He would be born of “a Virgin from the House of David” in “Bethlehem”, one of a million tiny villages on the earth component of The Creation Program.
5. Hundreds of The Prophets’ Messianic Predictions were fulfilled when God downloaded His Living, Loving Word as The Perfect Human Program within the Holy Womb of Mary.
For the past 2,000 years, Catholics have been blessed by The Loving Programmer to connect The Creation Program to Today’s Word from St. Paul so that “the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning”.
Catholics are blessed to see The Loving Programmer in That Word about “the cross of Christ” when the Old Testament Prophet, Zechariah 12:10, made this amazing prediction: “they shall look upon He Whom they pierced”.
If we see that Truth as clearly as “the most beloved Disciple”, we see Catholic Truth Being Downloaded in John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7, “Every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him.”
Catholics know that even those who hated Jesus and His command to “Love God and your neighbor as yourself” may be saved if they seek His Forgiveness for having “crucified” any word of His, including The Church-Creating Word that He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies Downloaded 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 ot prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
May every one of God’s Beloved “Replicating Free Will Programs” on earth be blessed to not “let the cross of Christ be emptied of meaning” and “Be as Catholic as we can!” and be blessed to receive The Seven Catholic Sacraments that are among “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.
