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 ?
