You
Must
Either
Keep
the
Whole
Law,
or
Reject
it
ALL...
For Whoever Keeps the Whole Law, but Offends in ONE
Point, has become Guilty in ALL. James 2:10
Obedience is key to keeping the Law and is mandatory
for being Catholic. The Bible is full of verses admonishing us to be obedient.
Here are just a few:
'All that the Lord has said, we will do, and be obedient, Ex 24:7.
'...so shall you too perish for not obeying the voice of the Lord, your
GOD', Deut 8:20.
'For to this very end also did I write, that I might test you and know
whether you are obedient in all things', 2Cor 2:9.
'Servants, obey your masters', Eph 6:5.
'Admonish them to be subject to princes and authorities, obeying commands,
ready for every good work', Tit 3:1.
'As obedient children, do not conform to the lusts of former days when
you were ignorant', 1Pet 2:14.
'OBEY YOUR SUPERIORS AND BE
SUBJECT TO THEM, FOR THEY KEEP WATCH AS HAVING TO RENDER AN ACCOUNT OF
YOUR SOULS; SO THAT THEY MAY DO THIS WITH JOY,
AND NOT WITH GRIEF,
FOR THAT WOULD NOT BE EXPEDIENT FOR YOU', HEB 13:17.
I would say Heb 13:17
says it all, wouldn't you agree?
Are you guilty of causing some of the grief mentioned in Heb 13:17, by
not being obedient to decisions made by the Pope, the visible head of the
Catholic Church, and by the Magisterium? If so, why? Remember, they are
keeping a watch over your souls...
Oh yes, for all of you like, 'We Are The Church', who want the Church to
be a democracy run by the people, instead of the hierarchy that it is,
I must remind you of something. We are the Church. We are the body, and
Jesus Christ is the invisible head. The Pope is the visible head. Do you
really believe the body of anything controls the head? I always thought
the head controlled the body.
Notice to ALL dissidents. All who want
female priests. All who want an end to priestly celibacy. All who want
to change this or to change that, please read very carefully. Church dogma
cannot be changed by anyone but Jesus Christ. Please do not put the blame
on our Holy Father for something he cannot do. The Catholic Church is a
Hierarchy, setup by Jesus Christ Himself in Matt 16:18. It is governed
by the visible head, the Pope, in conjunction with the Magisterium and
the Bishops and Cardinals, and of course the Holy Spirit. It is not a democracy
run by the people. If 90% of the laity want something changed, IT WILL NOT CHANGE
if it is in opposition to dogma. James 2:10, holds true for our beautiful Catholic Church.
Either you accept ALL of its teachings, or you reject them ALL. Either
you accept ALL of the teachings of the visible head of the Church, Pope
John Paul II, or you reject them ALL. Either you accept ALL of the teachings
of the invisible head of the Church, Jesus Christ, or you reject them ALL.
There are no exceptions.
