patrick j miron he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy
whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
John 20:21-22 “ Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. ..
John 17:15-19 “I
[Jesus] do not pray that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world
. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth”
The Gospels are followed in authority by the balance of the New Testament because it testifies to the New. Current and Eternal Covenant. Then the Old Testament which points to the New Testament.
John 14: 6 “Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me
. Every New Testament, especially the four Gospels, teaching that quotes Christ Himself is to be taken literally!
One makes a GRAVE ERROR in not doing so; in trying to circumvent and apply mere human understanding to Devine Pronouncements, one puts their own salvation at Grave Risk. …
John 1: 1 -2, 9-10 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God;
The true light that enlightens every man
was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him
, yet the world knew him not.”

“Judge NOT the Word of God by how it meets my own [limited] understanding; NO! Judge human thought; mere human understanding BY God’s ACTUAL WORDS!”
Isaiah 55:3, 6-11
“Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; … "Seek the LORD while [AND WHERE] he may be found, call upon him while he is near;
[In the manner Ordained by God Himself]
… let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD
. [Thus I have provided for you certain MEN Guided and Protected by Me to Translate My Words]
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
[Which Means NOT just anyone can understand what the Bible actually teachers]
"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed
[Knowledge /and Understanding]
to the sower [TEACHER] and bread to the eater,
[RIGHT Knowledge and Understanding to those who HEAR the Word of God]
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not
[Meaning it BETTER NOT]
return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
[IF IT IS ACCPTED, Understood and APPLIED]
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
“What Is The Most Important Difference Between Protestants and Catholics?”
John 15: 26-27 SETS UP WHO CHRIST IS SPEAKING TOO IN JOHN 16:12-15 …
“But when the Counselor comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;
and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning“. ..
John 16: 12-15 "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth;
[Christ hear is speaking to the Apostles and through THEM to today’s CC]
for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me,
for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. “
THIS IS FULFILLED IN JOHN 20:21-22
Isa.29: 16 ” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?… Isa.45: 9 "Woe to him who strives with his Maker, an earthen vessel with the potter! … Does the clay say to him who fashions it, `What are you making'? or `Your work has no handles'?” … Isa.64: 8 “Yet, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; we are all the work of thy hand.”
It is a fact that God, in order to be God; must be good; and must make available to every soul at least sufficient grace that they MIGHT know Him. …“Might” in this application means it is up to us to accept and correctly apply it.
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made." AND the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.”
Thou hast smitten them, but they felt no anguish; thou hast consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent.”
4Ezra.9: 11 “and as many as scorned my law while they still had freedom, and did not understand but despised it while an opportunity of repentance was still open to them,”
Mark.1: 4, 15: “John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. …and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."
I will share all of the key points and teachings of our friend Thomas, but only respond [and then briefly], to but a few of his thoughts. Then I will share what the Catholic Church [and therefore God Himself] teaches is absolutely necessary for ones personal salvation; fully supported by the bible, because this is what Christ Himself demands. It really is a “take it or leave it proposition.”
1. [A Direct quote] “We cannot merit salvation.. ‘cursed is he who does not abide by EVERYTHING [my emphasis] written in the book of the law‘ ” Gal.3:10 “God ask us to abide by “everything” NOT to be better than others. If my friends, this is actually understood and accepted; why then is it time after time disobeyed? Ignored? Or denied by the very ones making the proclamation?
Mark 1: 15 “and saying, "The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand;
repent, and believe in the gospel."
[THIS MEANS THE ENTIRE BIBLE, NOT JUST CULLED QUOTES].
1st. Tim.6:1-6 “Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.
…If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ
[The ENTIRE Bible, not just parts of it]
and the teaching which accords with godliness,
he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words,
which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and
bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
There is great gain in godliness with contentment”
