Beware Of The False Church And Those That Spread It

 

 

 Every Catholic Should Beware Of The False Church And Those That Spread It. I was baptized in the Holy Catholic Church and was raised in the Catholic Church and School. Yes in my teens I wandered and was not attending Mass regularly. I met my wife in my middle twenties and started going to the church she was attending. This was a Pentecostal church and I did not know much about it. I went for two reasons, one because I loved to be with her and two, because I was to learn more about Jesus. No, I never went down to the rail at the altar call to say their little prayer to accept Jesus as my personal savior. I went for more learning and understanding.

 Now I walked around telling people they need to be born again and say the prayer. My wife and I were married in that church and spent a few years there. One day a thought came into my head that my mother did not accept Jesus as her personal savior. She was therefore going to hell. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and I knew this was wrong. My mother had always believed that Jesus died on the cross to take away the sins of the world. I then realized that I had always believed this as well. I knew this was wrong and told my wife and we left that church.

 We searched around and went to various churches. The Catholic Church was was not in our path at the time. We finally ended up in the Lutheran church. It seemed to combine Catholic and Protestant. We were both happy and stayed there for quite a few years as our children were young. One day the pastor spoke and said that communion was just a symbol and not the body of Jesus. The Holy Spirit spoke to me again and I knew it was time to leave. I told my wife, she spoke to the pastor and she decided to leave as well.

 I did not want to search for a church, because I did not want the influence of any one church. I decided to search through the history of religion. I had a book on this from a born again friend years ago. My mother bought me a book from a garage sale called 30 years with Christ. I read where the author said there were so many different denominations, that one had to be right and the rest are wrong. The author said that you will find that these denominations say something different about the same subject. Only read books by Catholic Authors.

 They will claim that the Holy Spirit told them this. You know this is wrong, because the Holy Spirit is the mouthpiece for God. This would indicate that the Holy Spirit is lying or does not know what he is saying. Being that the Holy Spirit is the mouthpiece for God, this can not be true. So as I searched the history of religion, I found that I kept coming back to the Catholic Church. I read about the Early Church Fathers and what they believed and were doing. I found that some were directly associated with some of the Apostles. I knew they were doing what Jesus taught.

 That night I was flipping cable channels looking for something to watch. I came across EWTN, which was the Catholic channel. On it was a show called The Journey Home. It was about people that came from other churches and became Catholic, also people that came back to the Catholic Church. The person being interviewed was Scott Hahn. His main reason for becoming Catholic was due to The Holy Eucharist. I knew right then that I had to come back to the Catholic Church.

 I came back, my wife became Catholic and my 3 children became Catholic. I will never wander away from the Catholic Church again. Basically there are many different churches or denominations and they say different things about the same subject. The people in these churches will try to convert you to their church. They twist scripture for their own churches. They do not rad all of scripture, they only read what they want to fit their doctrines. Some of them can be very clever, for they are the wolves in sheep's clothing.

 This happening all over the world today. You will see it on television, in books, music and in politics. As I look at the various republicans running for president I find that many are fundamentalists. As I listen to them speak, I hear them spreading their incorrect fundamentalist beliefs. What you find is that Satan will try to sneak his way into everything.

 So realize that the only true Church is the Holy Catholic Church. The only Church started by God when Jesus gave Peter The Keys To The Kingdom. The Catholic Church is the only Church started by God, the rest are all started by men. Do not listen to them and do not let them convert you. Study the scripture and lean from Catholic Apologists and Catholic Authors. When they spew out their lies, correct them. 

 Thank You and God Bless.      

It's Jesus All Or Nothing

  

 Does your church follow everything Jesus taught ? The only Church that follows everything Jesus taught is the Catholic Church. I was baptized in the Catholic Church, wandered around in my teens and early 20s. When I met my wife, her and her family were going to a Pentecostal church. I started going, because I like her and I was interested in the church. It was okay at first and we were married in that church. I did hear people make comments about the Catholic Church and it bothered me. One day I judged my mother and thought she was going to hell, because she did not accept Jesus as her personal savior. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and I knew this was wrong. I spoke to my wife and we left the Pentecostal church.

 After searching and going too many different churches, we ended up in the Lutheran church. We spent quite a few years as our children were young. One day the pastor said that communion was only a symbol. The Holy Spirit spoke to me again and I knew I had to leave that church. I decided that I did not want any influence from any one church, so I searched through the History Of Religion. It kept coming back to the Catholic Church, being the only Church started by God when Jesus gave Peter The Keys To The Kingdom. I happened to see a program on EWTN called The Journey Home. EWTN was the Catholic Channel on cable TV. I had never watched it before. The person on EWTN was Scott Hahn and he explained how he became Catholic due to the Holy Eucharist.

 I knew that I had to come back to the Catholic Church. I spoke to my wife and explained that she had to decide for herself. She spoke to the Pastor and Prayed about it, she decided to become Catholic and all our children became Catholic. I will never leave the Catholic Church again.

 Okay, back to the subject on the post. Have you ever had anyone tell you that all you had to do was believe in Jesus ? I have had various people from other churches tell me that. I even had a Pastor from a local church tell me that while he was at my door trying to get us to go to a barbecue at his church. I explained to him that you can not only believe in Jesus. He then said the old Jesus said you must be born again. I explained to him that you have to read all of what Jesus said and read all the scripture, otherwise you are taking it out of context. I told him if you read further that being Born Again was about Baptism. About being Born of Water and Spirit, which is Baptism.

 There are many times where a person tries to interpret scripture and they take it completely out of context. My own brother who is in a born again church does exactly that.He did it one time when he tried to convert me. He did not like that answers I was giving him and he stopped. I have had other friends through facebook and at various work places do the same thing. I know that their pastors do not want read all of scripture, because they know they would end up becoming Catholic.

 I had one friend who is in the Calvinist church say he admired that I loved Jesus  more that I loved the Catholic Church. I think he thought this, because our conversation was about Jesus. I thought about what he said and I realized that The Catholic Church is all part of Jesus. When I eat his flesh and drink his blood, he is in me and I am in him. We are one and that is a closer relationship then he will ever have.
