"Work while it is day because when night comes no man works" Each and every one of us is here for a reason, we may call it large or small, but never has the church called a members work small. ( The Church has called a title large or small, example; Lawyers are in the bible are neither large nor small and are considered *owned by the church in that the church has them: example; a court judge is biblically a small people. One Apostle asked stupid Church members, 'Why are you going to the least of us for an answer, the judge?' speaking of members that claim they can not find a peaceful answer to a personal problem within the Church, and must leave the Church's truth and seek *it in a court room before they can rest assured they are going to heaven. The Church has called certain actions or examples small, certain life styles small. The Church just barely was able to get an Eunuch to join, I doubt they will not talk much about the likes. The Eunuch is of sort a self sustaining individual capable of saving himself, he did not choose his title but it was endowed on he, similar with and equal to how the Church canonizes a simple member. I doubt the church will hear more. :) The Church DOES explain that on our way to being perfect we will need the help of so called unsaved people, ( I can quote hundreds of scriptures, but won't, asking us to trust in the unrighteous mammon ( unrighteous mammon or dirty wealthy or stinking smart )) for survival and salvation and the Church AGREES with this one hundred percent ( 100% ). The best President we ever had was a "filthy rich" Roman Catholic named John Fitzgerald Kennedy and he was shot during his first days of being President ( go figure ). What will the church say, 'He was not President long enough to be canonized a saint'? Yes. Scripture speaks of a married woman's righteous desire to please her husband, simply that "she will go far seeking what pleases her husband at home". Her husband might ask "So just where has my lovely wife been today chuckle chuckle"? Where has this heaven bound woman been that she appears so Holy, were they saved too?? No, the bible said "far", NOT 'easily recognized as the usual means of gain'. And finally ( the Catholics and all will hate this ) I can and will at times enter different Churches, Baptist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopal, and you may add more, in order to get my filling, and I feel NO guilt. Meaning, I am going to heaven. Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263815150394027688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-82979661969991299782012-06-20T12:43:55.101-07:002012-06-20T12:43:55.101-07:00I'm going to have to put a big fat NOT in fron...I'm going to have to put a big fat NOT in front of the comment about just following your conscience. Your conscience needs to be correctly formed in order for it to be useful for following. And how does it become correctly formed? A hint is that it doesn't happen by licking your finger and holding it up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing, although current popular opinion may say otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-72109461890387839692012-06-20T10:46:34.521-07:002012-06-20T10:46:34.521-07:00Well, there's also invincible ignorance to con...Well, there's also invincible ignorance to consider, not so much for Christians, who aren't ignorant of God, but for non-Christians :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-59878948355325630762012-06-19T04:47:56.455-07:002012-06-19T04:47:56.455-07:00Every person is made in the image of God, and so w...Every person is made in the image of God, and so we carry in us our conscience that connects us to God's will. It is therefore possible that by always listening to one's conscience and acting accordingly, a person can go to Heaven who has never in his or her life heard of Jesus. The same applies to non-Catholic Christians. But as Sister Mary Martha said, the Catholic Church makes it a lot easier, especially with the graces that we receive through the Sacraments.<br />Unfortunately I don't have my catechism with me right now, otherwise I could provide some supporting quotes.Utehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638972633217163465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-70803625533941807752012-06-18T18:29:54.979-07:002012-06-18T18:29:54.979-07:00Excellent.
