1 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | Jeshuafreak | 52631 | ||
Joe! and Brian- The issue is not the church. The issue is us. We are sinful and we are not in a right relationship with Christ, yes Christ alone. The church cannot do a thing for you. It's full of hard hearted, spiritually blind, legalistic, religious, arogant and prideful individuals . I am a Christian. A desciple of the Living Word, who is Christ. He is the Author and Finisher of my faith and He is growing me up in the maturity of it. RELIGION IS NOTHING THAT BENEFITS ANYONE!!!! Only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can change the human heart. NO AMOUNT OF LEGALISM OR "HAIL MARYS CAN ATONE FOR SIN. ONLY THE FINISHED FINISHED FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS CAN WIPE AWAY THE STAIN OF SIN! PRAISE BE TO OUR FATHER AND TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!! CHRIST CHRIST CHRIST ALONE ALONE ALONE! NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN OR EARTH. NO SAINT OR MARY OR PRIEST. JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS OUR MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS OUR MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS OUR MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN!!!!!!!! QUIT DEFENDING THE BODY OF CHRIST. JESUS IS DEFENDING HIS BRIDE JUST FINE! HE WILL FIGHT FOR HER AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO. THANK YOU FATHER AND PRAISE JESUS AND THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR LIVING IN ME. WE CAN ONLY DEAL WITH ONE PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AT A TIME. THIS STARTS WITH YOU. RUN YOUR OWN RACE . FIGHT AGAINST YOUR OWN FLESH. GET ON YOUR OWN CASE AND GET YOUR OWN FACE DOWN UPON THE GROUND IN REVERENCE, AWE AND ADORATION OF THE MOST HIGH GOD OF THE UNIVERSE!! thank you all for praying that we all begin to get revelation of who HE is. We are a lump of clay some are hardened some are pliable. God will break you if you are hard and make you again...if you are soft pliable and willing He will use you for great things. Praises be to the Lord our God. AMEN |

Dear Jeshuafreak I understand and appreciate your passion on this issue. This scandal sheds a pall upon all Christians and Christianity. However, I believe we find one of the underlying causes is found in I Timothy 4:3-- "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."(KJV) Not to get into a discussion on Catholicism, but adults are sometimes like children: When you don't allow people to do something(priests having to be celibate) or eat something(no meat on Fridays during Lent), it makes us want it even more. That's why God made Eve for Adam, because "it is not good for man to be alone"(Genesis 2:18) But just as I would not want all Christians lumped in with these predators, I would not lump all Catholics in with them either. There are wheat and tares in almost every church. PS: You say "religion is nothing that benefits anyone". That is what has happened over the years. People have attached the word "religion" to any new kind of belief that comes along. Biblically speaking, however, "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."(James 1:27, NASB) When James wrote his epistle, religion was considered--by all--to be a good thing. But, as always, man has made a mockery out of it. Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
