It is amazing how the wrong teaching.. have been taught in the roman catholic church.. not only wrong .. but half truth.. that prevent .. the HOLY Spirit .. which is the spirit of truth.. at least that is what JESUS called the spirit of YAHWAH..
John 14:15-21 (New International Version)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15" If you love me, you will obey what I command.
16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—
17 the Spirit of truth.
The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
SO u REALLY BELIEVE .. jesUs... MAYBE ... NOT...
BECAUSE IF u DO NOT HAVE .. ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF HEARING AND REALIZING THE SPIRITUAL PRESENCE.. THEN u ARE SPIRITUALL DEAD..
wHAT LIES... dO u BELIEVE..
25Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me,
26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[d]; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one."
Alvin Glombowski... believes what ever a Roman Catholic bishop , cardinal, or pope (1869) says...because like most people in the last 400 years... they are spiritually dead..
SPIRITUALLY DEAD AND CONDEMNED
' he projected a deceptive cleverness and exuded a delusive demeanor of humble servitude '
Yet, today I am ashamed to think that in all of those years when I performed numerous charitable works, attended mass seven days a week (sometimes twice on Sunday), observed and promoted the teachings of the Catholic church, I never knew Jesus personally. Had I died, I would have perished forever. Only when I repented and trusted Him ALONE as my Saviour and Lord was I truly and eternally saved!
Are you aware that in Matt. 12:36, in fact the twelfth New Testament prophecy in this first Gospel, every idle word either said in anger or jest, will be accountable on the Day of Judgement.
So I have to ask myself what about every superfluous sentence and word that every author moulds and tries to fashion into literary darts for his reader's approval? Will this count as well
on that fateful day yet to come to each of us?
With this thought in mind, I suggest that the saying 'brief is best' should apply and remembering the sower in Matt.13:39 when his seeds where thrown, fell mainly on to unprepared ground. My words I hope will not share such a fate, at least I hope not.
For fourteen years, I was the co-ordinator for the Justice and Peace in the Deanery, Vice Chairman of the Deanery Pastoral Council, occasional speaker for the presentation of Papal Encyclicals, regular mass reader, was commissioned by the diocese to author a book about my Church (which is still in print), was a member of the liturgy committee and was also part of the Churches Together, which involved ecumenism and inter-faith.
Organised religion, I am afraid, carries its own heavy sackcloth of emotional baggage and particular failings - sometimes to an extreme degree. I neither need it, nor seek it.
One of my own dear family members, who in the past had practised with deep conscientiousness, all the articles of his Roman Catholic faith for almost half a century, yet approached the final days of his life in fear of what awaited him.
This would result in him asking complete strangers in the hospital, "There must be a life here after? Mustn't there?" He desperately needed the comfort or a kind reassuring word from a total stranger. Did he find it? I don't know.
Religion, it seemed, had so assiduously failed him in his faltering hour of need. How tragic and how sad for him and his family. Later on, the gloomy prospects of purgatory and all of that cruel religious uncertainty would be debated with me by his dear wife - did I think he was still there? He must be out of there by now, don't you think?
And how inadequate I was then, in offering a comforting reply to her. How I wish I could witness to both of them now, knowing what I do. That simply, you have to get out of religion and into a personal Biblical relationship with the Lord. And that can only be an assenting association with the One who can and does promise to save you for eternity - the Lord Jesus Christ.
