The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil And Covid-19 Proves It

  

 Jesus said that the love of money is the root of all evil. No one can serve two masters. We have seen this being proven with the covid-19 pandemic. People can not seem to give up all their material things. The government did shut down things during the beginning of this pandemic. They also provided people with stimulus money to help in buying food and paying bills.

 Now in 2021 the stimulus money has been stopped and people are still out of work. The government has put a huge amount of money for families with children, helping the environment and repairing roads, but not for people in general. It almost seems as if they are trying to push people back to a low paying unsafe work environment. My job fit that scenario perfectly. I was way underpaid and now they only offered what unemployment paid. I would have earned about $7 dollars and hour, while others were making their same pay at $25 an hour or more.

 I am almost 63 and unemployment ran out, so after considerable thought, I decided to early  to early retire. Now we have had the Covid-19 Delta Variant Spreading. The pandemic levels are worse than they were when things were previously shut down. Now today I hear of a new variant coming out of south Africa. I am hearing that travel has been shut down going into a number of other countries. Finally President Biden has shut down travel to the United States from south Africa. It will apparently take a few days to come into effect.

 Now I wonder will all travel be stopped from all countries ? Will we keep those open, so we don't hurt the economy ? Will people try to travel from South Africa before the shut down of flights happens ? It just seems that our lives are being risked to make money. Is God watching everything that is going on and crying for his children. I am sure Satan is enjoying what is happening in this world and he is probably behind all of this.

 So I wonder, is this new variant  B.1.1.529 going to be the beginning of the end ? They say that it is more transmittable than the Delta Variant and the Covid Vaccines may not even stop it. Now they will have to create a new vaccine and we will get vaccinated again. How long will this craziness go on, until we realize that a total shutdown of the world is needed and all economies are frozen.

 I have been watching the news and what is going on in society. People are going all over the place and not wearing masks. The UN-vaccinated are dyeing and the fully vaccinated are getting sick and ending up in the hospital. It is obvious that people love money and can not give up their material things.

No The Covid - 19 Is Not A Chastisement From God

 

  Many people are questioning, whether the Covid -19 and Delta Variant are Chastisements from God. I do not believe that it is a chastisement form God for one reason. That is because it is now infecting children and over 700 children have died from covid-19. We know that Jesus said if anyone harms a little one, it would be better that a millstone be hung around their neck and they be thrown into the lake of fire.

  So this being the case it would go against what Jesus said and he would never harm a child. So then we have to ask, who is responsible for this horrible catastrophe ?   Well it is probably due to the society we live in. Sicknesses and Diseases have been around for a long time. There are suggestions that it was created by man and leaked out by accident. The other idea is that it was created and spread on purpose.

  It will come out in the course of time as to how it actually came into being. So what we need to do as children of God is to be responsible and get vaccinated. I believe the knowledge of creating a vaccine is a gift from God. Some people will not take the vaccine, because they believe it is made from aborted fetuses. I found that these vaccines have been developed going back years. Yes there has been the use of aborted fetuses, but that was from the 60s.

  I think what we should do is pray for those aborted babies and thank them from for the gift they have provided.     

What Is Your Favorite Bible Verse ?

  My favorite Bible Verse is " Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged " . My advise is to purchase a good Bible and a good Catholic Study Bible. I love my favorite bible verse, because at one time in my life while I was in a Pentecostal church I was judging everyone and everything. In fact at one point I judged my own mother and thought she was going to hell, because she did not accept Jesus as her personal savior. That was when the Holy Spirit spoke to me and I knew I was wrong. That was when I left that church and after a long journey, came back to the Catholic Church.

 My other advise is to purchase various Catholic Books and Catholic Study Material. Only buy books written by Catholic Authors. If you buy books written by non Catholics,  you will get misinformation and items that are taken out of context. There are many individuals that do nothing, but try to tear down the Catholic Church. It is written that "The Gates Of Hell Shall Not Prevail"

 
 

The Catholic Bible Dictionary by Scott Hahn - A Book Review

By Erika Ayala  |   Submitted On June 08, 2009

 The Catholic Bible Dictionary by Scott Hahn is the most up-to-date dictionary on Catholic biblical terms in over a generation. In a person's lifetime, so many things can change. This change is also evident in the study of church scripture and historical texts, and how these are interpreted and made understandable to a more modern audience.

Thus, this bible dictionary is an invaluable text for any catholic who takes his faith seriously and wants to understand it better. Catholics are familiar with the bible, its passages, and its meanings. However, this dictionary will open up a whole new world of information and enlightenment that breezing through the bible during school and listening to mass readings won't give you.

In the same way, this book will be an interesting and entertaining read even for non-Catholics who are simply curious about the faith.  The biblical facts and studies are all written in an easy to understand way, so that you don't have to familiar with the Catholic faith in order to appreciate this text. Who knows, some readers of this text may end up joining the faith as well.

On the other hand, for bible study students, this book can also be a reliable source of information, whether on the meaning of words, the historical implications and symbolisms of biblical events, and so on. There are so many so-called books and articles on the bible that are either incorrect or incomplete. Why settle for inferior sources when you can get this 100% correct and complete source on the Catholic bible?

And because this book is so reliable even members of the Catholic Church congregation could use this book, in case they need to make quick references about queries they may have regarding their homilies or research. After all, no one is so smart that he can memorize everything there is to know about the Catholic faith.

So whether you are a devout Catholic, a biblical scholar, a member of the Church hierarchy, or just someone curious about the faith, the Catholic Bible Dictionary by Scott Hahn can be your best source of information.

Who Do I Believe - You Or Jesus ?

  As a Catholic, many times you will be confronted by a person of another faith. They will try to convince you or persuade you that you need to follow their church. I myself have gone through this many times in my life. There was even a time when I was in another church. My wife and I were married in the Pentecostal church. I followed what I was being taught and I even spewed out the garbage that they were preaching. I never denounced the Catholic Church, I just wasn't a practicing Catholic.

 Yes I used to try to use their tactics to convert people to their church. Fortunately the Holy Spirit showed me the truth and my wife and I left that church. After going to many different churches, we ended up in the Lutheran church. I did find that nobody spoke badly about any other faith. There did come a day when the Holy Spirit spoke to me again and we left Lutheran church. After searching through the history of religion, I did realize that the Catholic Church is the true Church and I came back. My wife and children all became Catholic.

 I do have family members in the so called born again churches and they are always trying to convert someone. In fact my younger brother was trying to convert my mother on her death bed. She was dying of congestive heart failure and was in much pain. She was not even coherent and could only moan or groan in pain. He was try to get her to accept Jesus as her personal savoir, as he felt she would go to Hell. My mother and I had many conversations about him and his trying to convert her. She was not very happy with him and I am sure she was telling him to shut up.

 So what do you do when they ask you if you are Born Again ? Well I would ask them to read and show you in the Bible where Jesus said this. They will go to where Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be Born Again to enter the kingdom of heaven. The problem is that they will go no further and ignore the rest of the chapter and verses. I would have the person then read all the chapter and verses.

 Then explain to them that Jesus says you must be born of water and spirit. Explain to them that this is Baptism. I would then tell them that I have two choices. I either choose to believe and follow them or I believe and follow what Jesus said. I choose to follow what Jesus says. 

 Yes there are many other ways that they may try to convert you. My advise is to purchase books on Catholic Apologetic s. Make sure they are books written by Catholic Authors. If they are not, you will get misinformation and scripture taken out of context. Yes they will ask you if you are saved and if you have accepted Jesus as your personal savior.    

Wanting To Get Pregnant And Have A Child During The Pandemic

  Many married couples want to get pregnant and conceive a child during the pandemic. The question that is coming up is should we be vaccinated for covid-19. People are concerned that the vaccine will cause problems with fertility, getting pregnant, giving birth and what problems may the child have at some time due to the vaccine.

 From everything I have read, the covid-19 vaccine is not causing any problems at this time. Now it stands to reason that nobody knows what is in the distant future. People need to search out this information on the internet and read it for themselves. Do not listen to all the conspiracy theorists spreading all their misinformation, misinterpreting of scripture and just plain garbage.

 The way I see it, there is only one important person in this situation. That individual would be the child. If the mother does not get vaccinated before becoming pregnant and becomes infected with covid-19, she may die as well as the child. The husband, may also become infected and pass away as well. This is a horrible scenario, but very well could happen.

 The other horrible situation, is that the mother may give birth, become infected with covid-19 during pregnancy or after birth and pass away. This now will leave the father as the only parent to raise that child. Believe me, I was a child without a father due to divorce and it sucks. Now if the fathers happens to become infected, he may pass away and now the child has no parents and will be raised by the grandparents. I would definitely accept that honor and privilege.

 It seems to me that there are really only two logical choices in this situation. First either the parents become fully vaccinated before becoming pregnant and avoid the horrible situations above. The second choice would be to decide not to become pregnant, wait a year and get vaccinated. Then when the pandemic has died out, become pregnant and have a child.

 You Have To Realize That The Child Is The Important Person and You Are The Responsible People Looking Out For The Welfare Of The Child. Think About It, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ?

Many Will Be Led Astray In The Last Days

  

 As I search on the internet I see that piece of scripture that "Many Will Be Led Astray In The Last Days". The problem is that exactly who is doing the leading astray ? When I was younger and bought up in the Catholic Church, I never heard this. Only until I met my wife who was in the Pentecostal Church, I heard the pastor preaching about this. I was married in that church and was basically brainwashed by all their lies and misinterpretations of scripture.

 Yes I was one of those people judging everyone and everything. I was trying to get people to covert to that church, because I believed that if they did not accept Jesus as their personal savoir. This changed when I judged my mother and thought she was not saved and the therefore going to hell.The Holy Spirit spoke to me and I stepped back and looked at everything. I realized that my mother believed that Jesus Christ was Lord and died on the cross to take away the sins of the world for all. We left that church and ended up in the Lutheran Church. Eventually we left that church due to the Holy Eucharist. I went on my journey and ended back in the Catholic Church.

 Okay back to the subject at hand, who is leading who astray. I hear a lot of preachers say that they are the true church. In my journey, I realized that the Catholic Church is the only Church started by God, when Jesus gave Peter The Keys To The Kingdom. All other churches and denominations were started by men and not God. 

 Some priests and pastors have said that these other churches are okay and that the difference is that the Catholic Church has the fullness of the faith. They will say that these other churches have some truths. Yes, I do agree with what they are saying, but there is a problem. They are not following everything that Jesus taught and they only use bits and pieces of scripture to suit their doctrines. The people are not getting the whole truth and spread the lies and misinformation.

 You can not have millions of churches teaching something different about the same subject. I read a book one time called 30 years with Christ and the person made that statement. They said that either the Holy Spirit was lying or did not know what he was saying. We know that neither of these can be true, because the Holy Spirit is the mouthpiece of God. So who is right and who is wrong ? The Catholic Church is the only true Church started by God and the others are leading people away from the whole truth.

 When I watch television, I see all these people being preached to and being converted to these Pentecostal,  Evangelist and Protestant churches as well as many others like the Satanists and Atheists. One of the main reasons has to due with the Holy Eucharist. All these other denominations, believe that it is just a symbol. They do not read the whole chapter and verses. They totally misinterpret scripture and are leading people astray from being raised on the last day. They see it only as a symbol. The Catholic Church believes that through transubstantiation it becomes the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity Of Jesus Christ.

 Now you may ask, do I believe that all these people will end up in Hell. The answer to that is, no I do not believe so. The only ones that will are those with Mortal Sins that were aware of what they were doing. The others that will end up in Hell are those that chose not to follow Jesus. I believe that these people in these other churches will end up in Purgatory for a long time until all their sin have been purged away. Nothing unclean can enter Heaven.

 So my advise, is if you want to be raised on the last day, study The Catholic Church. Learn about the Early Church Fathers. The Early Church Fathers were taught by some of the Apostles and they were taught by Jesus Christ. The only Church practicing these things today, is the Holy Catholic Church. All others will lead you astray from the whole truth in these last days.

  

Which Church Is The True Church Started By Jesus Christ ?

 

  

 

I was brought up Catholic, Married in the Pentecostal Church, Left and ended up in the Lutheran Church for quite a few years as are children were young, then left due to issues with communion. I went on my journey and studied the religion of history. I did not want to be influenced by any denomination. Well after searching I ended up coming back to the Catholic Church as I realized that it is the only Church started by Jesus Christ or by God.

 I studied the Early Church Fathers and learned that some of them were directly associated with some of the Apostles. The Apostles were taught by Christ and they were teaching the Early Church Fathers. I found that the only Church following these teachings was the Catholic Church. I knew that I had to come back to the Catholic Church.

 I happened to watch EWTN and the show was the Journey Home. The guest was Scott Hahn and he was talking about his conversion and about the Holy Eucharist. After listening to him I definitely knew I had to come back. I spoke to my wife and told her she had to make her own choice. Through much prayer, she decided to become Catholic and all our children became Catholic.

 Many people, including my younger brother are always trying to convert me back to the Pentecostal Church. Now that I have found the true Church, with the help of the Holy Spirit, I will never go back. A friend of mine, who does not believe in religion made a comment that Religion = No Peace. He said he has read the Bible, Torah and  the Quran. 

 I explained to him that there is a problem with people self interpreting the Holy Bible. I told him how there are many different denominations making claims that the Holy Spirit told them something and then another denomination says it told them something else. Now you have numerous answers from the Holy Spirit about the same subject.

 I explained to him that this can not happen, because it would indicate that either the Holy Spirit is lying or does not know what he is talking about. We know that this can't happen, because the Holy Spirit is the mouthpiece for God. Therefore, there can only be one true Church and the others are all false or spreading lies or misinformation.

 It all comes down to the fact that the Catholic Church is the only True Church started by God, which is Jesus Christ.
