Question 1:  Today’s Catholic Reading from 1 John 3:7-10  makes This Fact clear  ‘Children, let no one deceive you.
The person who acts in righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. Whoever sins belongs to the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning.’

Then, John shares This Earth-Shaking Fact:  ‘Indeed, the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the devil.’.”

~

Question 2:  “What did ‘The Son of God reveal’ that would ‘destroy the works of the devil’?”

Answer:  “He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies Spoke One Church Into Being with His Church-Creating Word 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.’

~

Question 3: “How does The Catholic Church ‘destroy works of the devil’?”

Answer:  “The Seven Catholic Sacraments ‘destroy’ structures built on pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth by leading souls away from them and into ‘Loving God and their neighbors as themselves.’

~

Question 4:  “How do Catholics recognize the difference between us and ‘the children of the devil’?”

Answer:  “‘In this way, the children of God and the children of the Devil are made plain;  no one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God, nor anyone who does not love his brother.’

~

Question 5:  “Did Words of both Prophets and Psalms come true with That Word of The Messiah, a Word that John 1:35-42 tells us means ‘Christ’?”

Answer:  “Hebrews 1:1-2:  ‘In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets: in these last days, He has spoken to us through the Son.’

That is shown to be true in Psalm 98: 1, 7-8:  ‘All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.  Sing to The Lord a new song for He has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has won victory for Him, His holy arm.  The Lord comes;  He comes to rule the earth;  He will rule the world with justice and the peoples with equity.’

~

Question 6:  “Do Catholics obey ‘The Messiah, which is translated ‘Christ”, by being Catholic?”

Answer:  “We see that in John 1:35-42, along with The Fact that Jesus transformed a man into a ‘living rock’ every time we read and re-read Christ’s Church-Creating Word 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.’
