Doesn't matter.

There can be unity in diversity.

You mean to face persecution for supportive of speaking in tongues in real life?

So far God has been graceful to me. smile.gif

I had hands on experience for other type of persecution but not this one.

maybe you can share your experience since you have hands on.

Testimomy of Jesus

God’s goal in His creation of man was to have a corporate expression of Himself. According to this goal, man was made in the image of God in order to be His testimony (Gen. 1:26). This means that man was destined to be the expression of God. Because Adam failed God in this respect, Jesus came as the second man (1 Cor. 15:47b) to take the position and function of Adam. Thus, the living person of Jesus is the expression, image, and testimony of God (Col. 1:15). In the same way, the church today is the testimony of Jesus, that is, His expression. In the first chapter of the Bible, man is in the image of God to express God, and in the last two chapters of the Bible there is a building, the New Jerusalem, to express God. According to the book of Revelation, God on His throne has the appearance of jasper, and the New Jerusalem also has the appearance of jasper (4:2-3; 21:11, 18). This means that the entire city is God’s expression in His image. By this we can see the consistency of the Bible from the beginning to the end.

No doubt, there is the matter of our personal salvation in the Bible. We were all lost, and we must believe in the Lord Jesus to be saved. To a certain extent, we also need to seek the Lord to improve our living and conduct. However, this is not God’s consistent goal. God’s consistent goal is to have a unique expression of Himself. Neither the sun by day nor the moon by night can express God. Even the myriads of angels are not qualified or destined to express God; they are simply His servants (Heb. 1:13-14). In the whole universe, only man has the destiny to express God. The meaning of man is that he is to be the expression of God. Man was created not merely to be saved, to go to heaven, or to be a good person with good behavior. Simply to be saved and have a certain behavior are far off from God’s consistent goal. We were all created in the image of God with the destiny of expressing God.

Moreover, the expression of God according to His consistent goal is not individualistic but corporate and collective. We may claim to be expressing God, but it may be in an individual way, not in a corporate way. From the first page to the last, the Bible reveals that what God desires as His expression is corporate. God commanded the Israelites to build only one tabernacle. At that time over a million people were traveling in the wilderness, and that small tabernacle was only thirty cubits long and ten cubits wide, smaller than a common meeting hall (Exo. 26:15-16, 18, 20, 22-23). Nevertheless, that small tabernacle was the unique center for the worship of God. As such, it was the unique expression of God. Since God is one, He did not want to have more than one tabernacle among His people. God is omnipresent, but He does not desire to be omnipresent in that way. We can never divide God’s expression. God is uniquely one, so His expression must also be uniquely one. Similarly, there was only one temple of God in the ancient times. Since there were twelve tribes, it seems logical that each tribe should have had one temple, just as in modern times the United States has fifty states, each with its own legislature. However, our modern wisdom is not superior to God’s wisdom. All the twelve tribes had only one temple, because God’s expression is unique.

Likewise in the New Testament, there is only one church, because there is only one Christ. In the Old Testament there were three unique things: one God, one tabernacle, and one temple. In the New Testament there are also three unique things: one Christ, one church, and one holy city, the New Jerusalem.

you obviously have alot of hate in you despite your good knowledge in the Scriptures, by frequently visiting Satanic websites of hate of anti CCs, heck, I did not do research on Protestants so much as u do on their negatives.

and you obviousy are living in the OT law, since we Christians are living in the age of grace, we no longer look to 10 Commandments but to Love.

And if you continue like this, may Lord have mercy on us all.

1 Cor 12:31—13:13
QUOTE
If I speak in human and angelic tongues,
but do not have love,
I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
And if I have the gift of prophecy,
and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;
if I have all faith so as to move mountains,
but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give away everything I own,
and if I hand my body over so that I may boast,
but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It is not jealous, it is not pompous,
It is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.
If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing;
if tongues, they will cease;
if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child,
think as a child, reason as a child;
when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
At present I know partially;
then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
So faith, hope, love remain, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.



I've heard arguments from anti-Catholic Protestants who claim that showing respect to a saint by bowing or praying in front of a statue is idolatry.
They also claim that even if you're not worshipping the statue, the mere fact of your actions in front of the statue can lead to idol worship, so you shouldn't under any condition bow or pray in front of a statue.

Well, if we use that same logic, then no one should raise their hand at a prayer rally or bless someone in the same manner because it looks like you're doing a Heil Hitler. The photo below shows just how much like a Heil Hitler that looks. Let's get real folks.

List me one effin miracle from Catholic Testimony that is against the Word of God.

ONE.

You certainly talk alot to bring down others to make yourself look good. and I am very sad with your behaviour. I do pray that you can at least look open-heartedly.

Take your argument with God our Lord. Not us. Because His Grace still works through His Bride. You are spewing baseless accusations and judgement here. Who are we to judge?

Boss the RCC church is from the old denomination. During that time we all are like barbarians. They needs something to focus when they pray to God mah so the RCC build God statues lol. Is very hard for them to understand God got no form mah during that time. As for mother Marry, remember Jesus' first miracle, Mother Marry ask Jesus to help when the wine have finished. That is one of the reason why RCC pray to Mother Marry.
Remember this. During that time, not a single person die for Jesus
Now. Plenty of us willing to die for Jesus.

The understanding and the teaching of God words have improved a lot from the old denomination with new denomination. Cults is not one of the denomination.

Just my 2 cents comments feel free to comment.

Scripture shows Mary would be called blessed by all generations

Scripture clearly shows she is Queen

Scripture shows she is new eve

Scripture shows she is my mother

Scripture shows she is Theotokos

Scripture shows she is alive and not dead

Scripture is clear she is the ark of the covenant that contains the presence of God

Scripture teaches the prayers of the righteous avail much

Scripture shows Jesus listens to Marys intercession

Scripture talks of this woman in revelation and Genesis as powerful

Also, Prayer has different meanings . http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prayer?s=t
noun
1.
a devout petition to God or an object of worship.
2.
a spiritual communion with God or an object of worship, as in supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, or confession.
3.
the act or practice of praying to God or an object of worship.
4.
a formula or sequence of words used in or appointed for praying: the Lord's Prayer.
5.
prayers, a religious observance, either public or private, consisting wholly or mainly of prayer.

in the Bible does Mary not say she will be called Blessed throughout the ages. Tell me which Church is the only ones to do so?. Why do Protestants exclude themselves from this prophecy?. The founders of Protestantism Martin Luther, and John Calvin, both had great devotion to Mary.



QUOTE(prophetjul @ Feb 28 2013, 10:11 AM)
The Jews were not barbarians..........they understood who God is.
Mary of the scriptures would not have bowed down to her own image!
The first christians were NOT romans..........they were jews.  In fact they were persecuted and martyred for their
faith by the Romans for 400 years or so.
remember 11 of the apostles were martyred.

You are right that it was difficult for the Romans to understand.
They were idols worshippers whom the bible called pagans or gentiles.
In adopting christianity, they also polluted christianity by bringing
their pagan traits and practices into christianity which have stayed with them till this present day.
Thats why we have all these Roman traditions which are idolatrous.
BUT that does not make it right. Because theu have done this, they cant retract all their idolatrous declarations
and called them TRADitions. BUT these are not the traditions as impied by the scriptures.
These traditions in the scriptures are God's traditions which are JEWISH, not Roman!

The understanding of God's word was never lost or misunderstood as you imply.
The apostles knew that and Paul knew that...........otherwise how could Paul/Peter/james write all those doctrinal letters to the early church?
So you are wrong to imply this

Again romans romans romans. doh.gif Catholics are not just ROMANS. Mind your language please.

On Idolatry, you gave all quotes 96% from the Old Testament. Hey, we are no longer bounded by the old Laws. Bro Unknown Warrior perhaps it would be nice if you would remind our brother we are now in the age of grace?

If we are to look into the Old Testament on Idolatry, further, Let us get the CONtext in place - since u <3 to talk about CONtext all the time.

It certainly would be idolatry if any Catholic thought that the plaster and paint before him in the form of a person was actually a god.
When God wrote this Commandment, the Israelites at that very moment were worshipping an Egyptian god, the golden calf (Exodus 32:4). They were worshipping it as a god. It is not forbidden to have statues.
The Ten Commandments were carried around in the Ark of the Covenant, which had 2 statues of angels on top of it (Exodus 25:22).
Solomon had statues of cherubim in his magnificent temple (Ezekiel 41:19).
Moses had a serpent statue made in the desert, so that all who looked upon it (not worshipped it), would be healed of snake bites (Numbers 21:8).
When people stand up, place their hands over their hearts, and pledge allegiance to a red, white, and blue colored piece of fabric, that is only honoring what it represents, it is not worship.
The exact same thing goes for statues. The devil uses evil imagery on TV, in the movies, on web pages, in magazines, and on billboards to ensnare humans every day; conversely, the Catholic Church uses sacred imagery and art to inspire people to holiness. When you look at a picture of your dead child or parents and start crying, you are not “worshipping” the picture; it is only a reminder of what the person looked like.

I am both Presbyterian & pentecostal background. I know some RCC background as well.
Just to confirm 100% about what unknown warrior said.

Allow me to add some point of view and comparing to RCC.

As jedi said, Pope is a spiritual figures for RCC. Up to certain degree, what pope saying is what the direction of RCC.
Here is the checkpoint pro or cons:
1. Can you see the spiritual leader or hear from TV / radio ? Yes
2. Can you sense him in your heart ? Not Applicable, he speaks using english.
3. Can you speak in tongue to him ? Not applicable. Speak human language only.
4. What if i want to say something / express something that i also do not know how to speak ? like express of anguish or joy beyond words ? this point i don't know... perhaps other RCC brother can help to answer.
5. Different church / leader / person can have different interpretation from bible ? I don't think so, everything must be singular and 1 vision from The Pope. correct me if i were wrong, RCC brothers.
6. All Chatholic churches will have sense of uniformity from top to bottom. Yes

Pentecostal: like City Harvest don't have Pope as as spiritual figures. So who is our spiritual figures ? Holy Spirit direct access with no intermediate. Therefore we are trained to build relationship with Holy Spirit (i just type HS for typing sake). The training are various: depends on church, pastor, culture, time, education, location, etc..etc... depends on background. The fruit oso will be different.
Here is the checkpoint pro or cons:
1. Can you see the spiritual leader or hear from TV / radio ? No
2. Can you sense him in your heart ? Yes, it's one way of how Holy Spirit speaks communicate with you.
3. Can you speak in tongue to Holy spirit ? Yes. Undertand what you say it's not a problem. illogical but that's how it works.
4. What if i want to say something / express something that i also do not know how to speak ? like express of anguish or joy beyond words ? Just speak in tongue
5. Different church / leader / person can have different interpretation from bible ? It's common because the maturity and quality relationship with Holy spirit are different between church / leader / person. Therefore the fruit oso different. sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Pentecostal does not have Pope, therefore different leader can have different assignments from Holy spirit. Different assignments leads to different type of church.
6. All Pentecostal churches will have sense of uniformity from top to bottom. - Not applicable. some church groups together, some church oso independent. No uniformity except: 1. Use Bible. 2. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lord and King of Kings and Savior of Human kind.

just my 2 cent :-)

The Pope is a servant, just like Peter who serves Lord, Peter is the chair among apostles, every apostles make a decision, and Peter has the final word. Very Scriptural. Do we need to get scriptural to make it clear? If you want I am glad to show you.

He is not the Holy Spirit so no. You are interpreting the Pope as Catholic Christians ' Holy Spirit. You cant do this. He is a man.

Who are we to judge?
while Catholics are accused of being idol worshipers, I've noticed they're the only ones who can kiss a rosary.
During an exorcism, a demon can't even look at the Crucifix. it'll spit, vomit, and curse at the crucifix the moment it sees it.

while Protestants kiss the Bible, I rejoice seeing their love and respect for God. Do they idolise the Bible? certainly not!
when you have your departed parents photo on your table, you bow down and smile and show your respect, are you idolising your parents make them God?

can I conclude that with prophetjuls definition and judgement, he is also saying Japanese idolise and worship each other everyday?
when you kneel down in prayer, can I say that you idolise the floor?

Circular fallacy. . Some would say that it is worship to place your hand over your heart upon reciting the pledge of allegiance, or while hearing the anthem of your country..
Who are you to judge another's practice of reverence?


QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Feb 28 2013, 11:11 AM)
Jedi, I believe Jesus wasn't referring to his Flesh as useless but referring to natural things as useless because He was responding to the disciples who said This is hard teaching. He was teaching them of the spiritual aspect of the bread & the wine. That is why he said the spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing or in simple understanding, do not look to the natural (which is the bread n the wine) True that the people at that time did not understand fully, bcos God was giving it to us the better revelation, for the coming days, after his ministry on earth.

It can be a merit when you impose a condition on it.
This is why I have repeated so many times on the subject of Holy Communion.
People do not understand when Jesus said unless you eat my flesh you will not have eternal life. But as you can see Jesus was teaching on the spiritual aspect.

I did asked you a question, because it relates to this.

Do you mean to imply that If anyone who confess Jesus is Lord but does not partake the Holy Communion, the person is not saved?
*
no. I have made it clear, Faith is the means to get saved, and Grace of God and His authority alone. We do not know who has salvation and who has not. Even the hardest sinner who repented may be saved by His Mercy and His Blood.

Now you have yet to answer my previous questions on the long thread. I want to get to the bottom of this, dont give me the bread of life again bec its symbolic. Because I have answered when John said the word made flesh, it is not symbolic. Please refer my post again (on page 54 I think)

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Feb 28 2013, 11:46 AM)
You're suggesting Salvation need to be maintained and worked with our hands.

That can be refuted with proper spiritual understanding of the Bible.

I am suggesting yes, Salvation NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED by our Fruits of Faith.

It is very scriptural and if you want, we can discuss this after the tsunami of idolatry is over.

Just saw this............  biggrin.gif

i am not here to 'convince' the RCC......they are misled by their leaders....

i am here to tell the Truth about them

Is this like Christ? AND its to the religious leaders of the day.....did they get convinced?    biggrin.gif
*
so you are saying God has chosen you and solely you as the new Leader to replace Peter and His successors, you as the new prophet?
ohmy.gif

the Truth is protestants subtracted from the Complete Truth, the Bible alone has 66 books, u are reading 66 while the original has 73.

Lets just say I agree with you and I am leaving the Catholic Church because of the Truth I want to follow is only of Sola Scriptura.

Just focus on Jesus, we don't need religion. Religion is bad, its just too organised and wants to tell me how to live my life, and I want to be free to just follow Jesus. So just focus on Jesus, he is all we need.

How does this work out in practice?

Lets say I am the Truth (ridiculous I Know) but pretend I am the truth.

What would it mean to actually focus on me?

How would that work out in practice?

Would every single thing I said and specifically commanded be what you would focus on and want to put into practice?

Would you want to hang onto my every word?

And say I didn't write any of my words down and I wasn't planning to stay around personally but I chose some people to pass my teachings onto, people to guard and protect them.

Say I promised I would be with them always, unto the end of the age.

Would you go to these people to hear my truth, or would you take their book from them and tell them what it means?

Would you take their traditions from them and tell them they were unnecessary and develop better traditions?

Would you take their councils from them, and create your own better Councils?

To focus on Jesus, you come into the Body He wants you to come into, so that what flows from the head, reaches every member of the Body, and nourishment flows to all.

To remain separate from the Body of Christ, is to disconnect yourself form the head, and all your are left with is your own head and follow that you must, and I can promise you that that is a road to confusion, pride, anxiety, division and in the end death.

This is what is happening to you all, from this forum alone, different denominational Christians are already having different interpretations and different 'Truths'

You call this your Truth? that Protestants have the Real Truth?

In fact who am I to judge?

I am here to discuss and encourage inter-faith dialogue. Apparently someone here does not welcome what he sees is a labelled ROMAN Holy Spirit-led brother.

If you insist, I will not resist. Fact.

You can make this a totally protestant Christian Lounge and discuss whatsoever you see fit to call the Truth with your own revelation and anti-CC websites.

Arent we called to love? Arent we called to be one?

What If I tell you, our Mass complements the BiBle?

The first Passover meal of the Israelites in Egypt (Exod 12:1-28)
The annual Jewish Passover meals (Exod 12:43-51; Lev 23:4-14; Num 9:1-14; 28:16-25; Deut 16:1-8)
Jesus' feeding of the 5000 in Galilee (Mark 6:30-44; Matt 14:13-21; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14)
Jesus' feeding of another crowd of 4000 people (Mark 8:1-10; Matt 15:32-39)
Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples (Mark 14:12-27; Matt 26:17-30; Luke 22:7-39; cf. 1 Cor 11:23-25)
The risen Jesus' meal with two disciples at Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35)
The risen Jesus' breakfast at the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-14)
Early Christians in Jerusalem share in the "Breaking of the Bread" (Acts 2:42-47)
Early Christians in Troas "break bread" with Paul (Acts 20:5-11)
Early Christians in Corinth celebrate the "Lord's Supper" (1 Cor 10:16-17; 11:17-34)

WHY then in charismatic churches is there so much babblings without interpretation?
Its rather fleshy, no?

thumbup.gif I agree with you too.

Until the tsunami of idolatry is over, I will not discuss about speak in tongues. But I will support you with scriptural backups once u stop judging your brothers and sisters because u hate the romans.
Because I am here to tell you,

Catholics are not just Roman Catholics.

I have been to Ukrainian Catholic Church since I study in Russia.

If I am not Romish, perhaps u would show me a little more love.

Last but not least, I think we have to remember that we are not here to try and convert each other one way or the other, rather to understand each other and celebrate and accept that we are all Christians. We do not have to agree on all points in order to do this.

Because like prophetjul said, in the end there will be the ultimate peace , with 2nd coming, new heavens and new earth.

So I encourage all of us to love, put aside the hate, certainly I pray you dear bro prophetjul, the romish thing.

Just say I am a Catholic Christian, not Romish.

So I am repeating what I said before,

Catholicism and Protestantism do not essentially define our identity, as Christ does.
If I should die and find out that Christ is not my Savior, I could not be me, I could not exist in such a world.

Christ is essential to my very self: “For me to live is Christ.” Philippians 1:21

The Church is like my family: very close to me, loyal to the death.—but not my essence. Saint Paul did not say: “For me to live is Catholicism.” He did not say: “I live, nevertheless not I but Protestantism lives in me.” The only absolute certainty we have is Christ. The unity we already have in Christ includes doctrinal unity, for if we accept the teacher we also accept all his teachings, at least through Scripture. None of the Catholic Church’s interpretations of or additions to Scripture is as important as the scriptural agreements between Protestants and Catholics. The agreements between orthodox Protestants and orthodox Catholics are more important than the agreements between orthodox Catholics and liberal, or Modernist, or demythologized Catholics, and more important than the agreements between orthodox Protestants and liberal Protestants.

no. I have made it clear, Faith is the means to get saved, and Grace of God and His authority alone. We do not know who has salvation and who has not. Even the hardest sinner who repented may be saved by His Mercy and His Blood.

Now you have yet to answer my previous questions on the long thread. I want to get to the bottom of this, dont give me the bread of life again bec its symbolic. Because I have answered when John said the word made flesh, it is not symbolic. Please refer my post again (on page 54 I think)

The Devil wants you to be unsure about your Salvation, God wants you to be assured. So rest easy. smile.gif

1 John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

That is why it is flaky to say Salvation depends on the Eucharist as well because if we go by that line of reasoning, those who don't partake of it or missed it some weeks and happened to die in the same week, will have no assurance of salvation. It contradict the strong assurance of Love that God has for you.

Erm, what question again?

I am suggesting yes, Salvation NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED by our Fruits of Faith.

It is very scriptural and if you want, we can discuss this after the tsunami of idolatry is over.

Jedi, I have no problem explaining to you even in the heat of arguments because I know and I am fully assured my Salvation is sealed.

There is an internal rest and peace of mind whenever it comes to What God has promised to me of his salvation.

All because it lies Not of anything I have done to maintain it.

That is the meaning of Having Faith in the grace of God.

Do you know who is the one who will maintain my Salvation?

1 Corinthians 1: 8-9 (NIV)
8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.


The key is to look away from yourself. Have you done enough, have you obey enough, have you had Faith enough, etc.

That is why you are on shaky ground about Salvation. biggrin.gif

1 Corinthians 13: 1-8 NIV
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,b but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Love is compromising the Truth?

you obviously have alot of hate in you despite your good knowledge in the Scriptures, by frequently visiting Satanic websites of hate of anti CCs, heck, I did not do research on Protestants so much as u do on their negatives.

and you obviousy are living in the OT law, since we Christians are living in the age of grace, we no longer look to 10 Commandments but to Love.

And if you continue like this, may Lord have mercy on us all.



Lesson is: dont judge. Learn to understand.

So was Jesus wrong to call the religious body of the day, VIPERS?
Is that hate?

You call those Satanic websites? Isnt that hate? You dont even understand apologetics....because youplace
pagan traditions above Truth..............Jesus did not do that. He came against the religious institution of manmade traditions

6 He answeredand said unto them , Well hath Esaias prophesiedof you hypocrites, as it is written , This people honourethme with their lips, but their heart isfar from me.7Howbeit in vain do they worshipme, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do .9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many such like things do ye .

Those verses describes the RCC to the hilt.....

grace does not mean you can sin.....grace requires obedience to the commandments of Jesus.
Grace without obedience is LUST.

The Message in General

        The general Message of Fatima is not complicated. Its requests are for prayer, reparation, repentance, and sacrifice, and the abandonment of sin. Before Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children, Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta, the Angel of Peace visited them. The Angel prepared the children to receive the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his instructions are an important aspect of the Message that is often overlooked.

      The Angel demonstrated to the children the fervent, attentive, and composed manner in which we should all pray, and the reverence we should show toward God in prayer. He also explained to them the great importance of praying and making sacrifices in reparation for the offenses committed against God. He told them: "Make of everything you can a sacrifice and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication, for the conversion of sinners." In his third and final apparition to the children, the Angel gave them Holy Communion, and demonstrated the proper way to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist: all three children knelt to receive Communion; and Lucy was given the Sacred Host on the tongue and the Angel shared the Blood of the Chalice between Francisco and Jacinta.

      Our Lady stressed the importance of praying the Rosary in each of Her apparitions, asking the children to pray the Rosary every day for peace. Another principal part of the Message of Fatima is devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, which is terribly outraged and offended by the sins of humanity, and we are lovingly urged to console Her by making reparation. She showed Her Heart, surrounded by piercing thorns (which represented the sins against Her Immaculate Heart), to the children, who understood that their sacrifices could help to console Her.

        The children also saw that God is terribly offended by the sins of humanity, and that He desires each of us and all mankind to abandon sin and make reparation for their crimes through prayer and sacrifice. Our Lady sadly pleaded: "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, for He is already too much offended!"

        The children were also told to pray and sacrifice themselves for sinners, in order to save them from hell. The children were briefly shown a vision of hell, after which Our Lady told them: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace."

The Lady is the Saviour???????Devotion to the LADY??????Whats this??????

      She said that if people did not stop offending God, He would punish the world severely by means of war, famine, persecution of the Church, and persecution of the Holy Father. To prevent these chastisements, Our Lady offered a remedy: She would return to ask for the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the Five First Saturdays. If Her requests were heeded, there would be peace. If not, Russia’s errors would spread throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church, the Holy Father to suffer much, martyrdom of the good and the annihilation of various nations.

        Our Lady indicated to us the specific root of all the troubles in the world, the one that causes world wars and such terrible suffering: sin. She then gave a solution, first to individual people, then to the Church’s leaders. God asks each one of us to stop offending Him. We must pray, especially the Rosary. By this frequent prayer of the Rosary, we will get the graces we need to overcome sin. God wants us to have devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to work to spread this devotion throughout the world. Our Lady said, "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God." If we wish to go to God, we have a sure way to Him through true devotion to the Immaculate Heart of His Mother.

      When Sister Lucy questioned Our Lord as to why He would not convert Russia without the solemn public consecration of that nation specifically, Jesus answered:

      Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that it may extend its homage later on, and put the devotion to This Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.

        Thus, we see that the conversion of Russia cannot take place unless and until the Pope and bishops consecrate specifically Russia, because God has reserved this grace – this special grace – to this special act of honor and reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Jesus does this because He wants to establish throughout the world, in the hearts and minds of the faithful, the importance of devotion to His Mother’s Immaculate Heart.

      Devotion to the Immaculate Heart is central to the Fatima Message. God determined that the Consecration of Russia and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays be the means of implementing this devotion throughout the world, and gave this task to His Pope and bishops and to individual souls to practice and promote this devotion.

      In order to move ever closer to Her, and therefore to Her Son, Our Lady stressed the importance of praying at least five decades of the Rosary daily. She asked us to wear the Brown Scapular. And we must make sacrifices, especially the sacrifice of doing our daily duty, in reparation for the sins committed against Our Lord and Our Lady. She also stressed the necessity of prayers and sacrifices to save poor sinners from hell. The Message of Fatima, to individual souls, is summarized in these things.

        Besides these general points, given in the Fatima Message over 6 months, Our Lady confided a Secret to the three shepherd children on July 13, 1917. This Secret was meant for all Catholics, but was to be given to them later (at the latest, in 1960) since no one was prepared to understand it all in 1917.

      In her Third and Fourth Memoirs, which were both written in 1941, Sister Lucy revealed to a wider audience the first two parts of the Secret. The third part of the Secret – or, as it is called, the Third Secret – was written down for the first time between January 2 and January 9, 1944.

Is that of God? Its ALLL about the LADY...............

Jesus said


13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come , he will guideyou into all truth: for he shallnot speakof himself; but whatsoever he shall hear , that shall he speak : and he will shewyou things to come .14He shall glorifyme: for he shall receiveof mine, and shall shew it unto you.

i do not hate you.......i hate the lies and deception of the ROMAN catholic church........

Grace does not mean you can sin.......
The law reflects/exposes SIN.........if you are allowed to sin, why bother to confess and repent?
If the law is no longer, why confess? Sin on.........
Grace is dependence on God.
BUT its not a passport to be above the law.
If you seriously think because you are in an age of grace you can break these commandments and imply that they are
old ....

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewingmercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

i FEAR for you.........you may exhibit christianity but you do not know the heart of God.

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." -Colossians 2:8

The catholic church is NOT Roman, but the Israel of God......
