Protestantism keeps many from seeing The Power of God.

1: “What Great Gift of God do Victims of Protestantism miss?”
Answer: “Their Bibles do not have The Book of Sirach that prepared the world for The Great Gift of Jesus in Sirach 17:20-24;
‘To the penitent, God provides a way back, He encourages those who are losing hope and has chosen for them the lot of truth. Return to Him and give up sin, pray to The Lord and make your offenses few.
Turn again to the Most High and away from your sin, hate intensely what He loathes,
and know the justice and judgments of God. Stand firm in the way set before you, in prayer to the Most High God.’”

Question 2: “Can we only receive God’s Forgiveness if we ask for it while we are alive on earth?”
Answer: “‘Dwell no longer in the error of the ungodly, but offer your praise before death. No more can the dead give praise than those who have never lived . . . ‘”

Question 3: “Why are Catholics blessed to have that in our Bibles?”
Answer: “That Old Testament Word of God connects Catholics with The Power to Absolve sins that Jesus gave to His First Catholic Bishops and Catholic priests Ordained in Living Link with them in John 20:23: ‘If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven.’ Only Catholics can connect souls being forgiven in The Old Testament with The New Testament Promise of ‘camels going through the eyes of needles’.”

Question 4: “Do Catholics see literal reality in Today’s Reading from Jesus in Mark 10:17-27, ‘Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.’?
Answer: “The Old Testament Passage in Sirach prepared Catholics to understand: when one of us, or a camel, is conceived, we are the size of a grain of salt that ‘can pass through the eye of a needle’. Catholics are blessed to understand: ‘For men, salvation is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.’”
