St. Thomas - He Is US

Image
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle . First Reading – Ephesians Brothers and sisters, You are no longer strangers or foreigners. You are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. You have been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. Upon Christ the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. United with Him, you also are being built together by the Holy Spirit into a dwelling place for God. The Word of the Lord. ==== ===== ===== Gospel – From the Book of John Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with the others when Jesus came. The other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But Thomas replied, "Unless I see the marks of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the nail marks, and place my hand into His side, I will no...

Assumptiones Protestantes

You are working under a flawed system of assumptions, if you think every time you open the Bible you are safe in interpreting for yourself. In fact, your own pride blinds you to Satan using your ego against you to keep you from the Only Church God ever established. So in order to overcome that attack by the Malignant One, lets examine the vast array of assumptions which form the lens through which Protestants see Scripture. This will be difficult for some, and they'll feel beset upon. But its worth a few hard feelings if we can  steer a few in the right direction.   ✠  1. The Bible is the sole infallible rule of faith. This is the Holy Grail of Protestants, the key to everything else they hold to. Unfortunately, nowhere does Scripture teach that it alone is the Christian's sole infallible rule of faith. While the Bible may affirm its own inspiration, truthfulness, and value (e.g., 2 Timothy 3:16–17), it never states that all authoritative Christian teaching must be f...

NOT MAKING WAVES IS TREASON

  When Standing in the Middle Betrays the Cross --- > “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” — Matthew 12:30 --- ✝️ INTRODUCTION      There is a common trend today, among society everywhere, to avoid taking sides on critical moral and spiritual issues, under the guise of "being fair," "balanced," or "neutral."       This is not the same as seeing both sides with discernment. In fact, to take the side of spiritual and Christ-centered righteousness, one is  required  to see both sides - then make consistent decisions based on that discernment.      Taking the middle-ground position, however, often leads not to peace but to passivity — and from a Catholic and Christian standpoint,* to moral cowardice. *  these viewpoints are one and the same .      To stand in the middle, without deciding means you are pummeled by traffic from both directions, as Margaret tha...

Bible Chain of Custody

  𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐘 Judge: "Let us begin. State the purpose of your case." Protestant: Your Honor, I am here to prove from the Bible that the Catholic Church is false. Judge: "So let it be entered into the record. Present your evidence." Protestant: Yes! The Bible is my evidence. The Bible is the highest authority that can ever be. Judge: "Very well. Bailiff, please take the Bible from the witness and place it on the evidence table." (Bailiff complies.) Judge: "Before we admit this document into evidence, however, we must establish its authenticity and chain of custody. This court cannot simply accept evidence because someone claims it is authoritative." Protestant: But it's the Bible! Judge: "Indeed... it says so on the cover. And where did you get it?" Protestant: Well, I bought it. But it came to us from from Christians through history. Judge: "Oh, so you acc...
