Jesus still saves many who make The Big Protestant Mistake!
Today, Acts 13-26 carries on from yesterday’s Daily Reading about The Big Protestant Mistake! People in the synagogue at Antioch were told ‘Jesus had fulfilled the oracles of the Prophecies. The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize Him. They asked Pontius Pilate to use the power of the state to put Him to death! And, God raised Him from the dead and we saw Him!”
Then, Paul told them: “The God Who raised Him to Heaven can do that for us!”
What did the people in Antioch do?
“They wanted to get their souls into Heaven! ‘Almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.’ When the first Protestants in Antioch saw the crowds, ‘they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse, contradicted what Paul said!’”
Does that apply to people in thousands of non-Catholic groups?
Catholics still do as Paul and Barnabas when people violently react to The Church-Creating Word of He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies 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 not prevail against it. I give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.’
They left the first Protestants because the same God Who sent His Son to be crucified told them to ‘be a light to the Gentiles and be an instrument of Salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
Was any of this predicted in the Old Testament?
Psalm 98:1-4 tells us what Paul and Barnabas knew: ‘All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God’. We Catholics must ‘Sing to the Lord a new song. His right arm (Jesus!) has won victory for Him and made His salvation known. He has revealed His justice and remembered His kindness and faithfulness to The House of Israel, so we must Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands.’”
What IS The Big Protestant Mistake?
Every time a person sees Any Teaching of Jesus and says, “I know more than Jesus about that!”, they make The Big Protestant Mistake and become a Victim of Protestantism.
