Peter Kreeft.???? What did you make of his arguments????
Dear
I am wondering why I got so few replies to this Master Piece of Apologetics???
What is mjk trying to do?
Why doesn't he just leave us alone?
We want our peace?
Why doesn't he just shut up?
I can just hear many of you saying remarks like that out aloud or in your thoughts!
Why do I bother to continue to send you such well thought out arguments and defences for the Roman Catholic Church??
Good question!!!!!
Why??
Because of the following.......
1st if the Catholic Church is not the TRUTH then it is the biggest lie ever..
It is a lie that has lasted from the time of the Apostles until now.
It's a lie that just wont go away.
All the so called reformers split and many have almost totally faded away.
None of them are really doing any good and having a real influence in this world. Read On..Read on!!!
The doctrine of this Church has never changed even though their have been many bad people including wicked Popes etc
It is very similar to the idea that Jesus was just a good man and a moral teacher.
He taught love and was a great Guru and nothing more.
The fact is He was either God or a very very bad man.
Why???
Because He claimed to be God!
Therefore He was either God or a very bad wicked megalomaniac.
You cannot just brush him off with the good person nonsense.
The same applies to the Roman Catholic Church.
You will have to make a decision.
Either this Church is the Truth or it is totally deluded.
No middle ground..
No comfortable... they are not bad chaps...
We live in extraordinary times.
Materialism is now the number one religion in the West.
For most part Christians are now in a very sad state.
Like never before we need UNITY and to all be singing from the same Hymn Sheet.
This was Jesus' wish in John Ch 17...Someone is being very disobedient
We Catholics already have a very tough and long lasting structure in place.
You Protesters do not.
We Catholics are hated by the Media for our stand against abortion, homosexual marriage, artificial birth control, euthanasia, divorce and many other important topics such as forbidding the Bible and religious instruction in School etc etc..
The fact that the Media hate us is a very strong indication that we are the TRUTH as otherwise the Media would love us and leave us alone.
The Media for the most part leaves you alone....
I wonder why???
Maybe because you are not there in significant numbers to pose a threat to the Media????
Maybe they can't find you???
Maybe you do not speak up and even if you do, do you really pose a threat?
What do you think???
Why do they leave you alone???
This is proof in itself that we are effective whereas you are not and how can you be without a
I believe the Luxury of your caffeteria protesting must come to an end
Where is your real lasting alternative to the Roman Catholic Church????.
Unless we unite we will remain divided by Satanic forces and defeated.
Well that is not quite true because Jesus will intervene but there will be lots and lots of Martyrdom!!
I am not doing this exercise just to annoy you and show off my so called superiority. Today, the 16th of October when I went to confession, and FOR YOU Sola ScrituraITES. the Bible reference would be John Ch 20 verses 22 and 23 and Matthew Ch 18 verses 18 and 19, I was so encouraged to hear the following from The Priest ???? who when I had told him how easily I get discouraged, told me that as long as we remain very small in front of God He will take all our failures from trying to achieve holiness, all the broken pieces, and make them into a crown and place it on our heads.
PRETTY ENCOURAGING!!!
I AM QUITE SURE THAT IF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO CAREFULLY LISTEN TO PETER KREEFTS ARGUMENTS, THEN YOU WILL SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
There is one more short talk by Ray Guarendi called “Why be Catholic??” It is also very good but does not deal with the question as thoroughly as Peter Kreeft.
I do like Ray Guarendi's style though.... Funny and true!!!!
Here is the link... url....

Please do me the favour of answering this but not before you have Prayed and thought about it carefully and also listen to all the links that I have sent you.
God Bless you and Peace!!!!!!!

the church in desperate need
THE CHURCH IN DESPERATE NEED!!!
IF EVER OUR CHURCH WAS IN NEED, IT IS NOW... JUST WATCH THIS
YOU TUBE VIDEO AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF WHAT I MEAN.
THE DRASTICALLY CHANGING WORLD!!!
A WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF US!!!
we need a miracle!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcma8HsQa2k
WE NEED A MIRACLE THROUGH MARY, WHO IS COMMON GROUND BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND ROMAN CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS.
In this case, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (YESTERDAY)commemorates the victory of Christian naval forces at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. At a time when Christian Europe was being torn apart by internal strife and the Reformation, (Sounds just like today!!!!!!!!!38,000 DIFFERENT SECTS ALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS!! HELP!!!)Don John of Austria destroyed the Turkish fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto. His victory was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom rosaries were offered (We need a Rosary Crusades like never before and we need Our Lady of the Rosary to intervene)and processions were made in Rome on the day of the battle.
The Rosary Crusades of the late Rosary Priest Father Patric Peyton were most likely responsible for preventing WORLD WAR 3 IN 1961 .. THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS...Kruschev versus J.F.K...
I have just watched this horrifying but true video...
If you read no further just watch this if you dare!!
I post the url for a second time below..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcma8HsQa2k
Take just 7 minutes to watch this...... and there is absolutely no reason to believe this is not true...
This will not affect me but it will affect my children and you if you are under 60.
As many of you know, I have been on a deadly serious crusade to awaken all my Protestant and Catholic Brothers to the fact that their little sects numbering about 38,000, and in the case of Catholics their sleepiness), are going no where to solve this huge DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEM.. Your little denominations have no structure no unity and are not able to unitedly do anything about it. It is all just ineffective individualism.
In other words... Do your own thing in your very ineffective little sect... I should know I was one of you for nearly 40 years...However there is a solution and this time a military solution will not be necessary as Our Lady of the Rosary, says the late Archbishop Fulton J Sheen, will do it for us..please check the links which come up when you Google Bishop Fulton Sheen, Mary and the Muslims..
We just have to do our part and promote the Holy Rosary Prayer..There is no stronger prayer after that of the HOLY MASS which of course is number one..
In every 5 decades we say six Our Fathers... The Lord's very own Prayer! The All Powerful Name of Jesus is mentioned at least 66 times at any one rendering of the full 5 decade Rosary Prayer..
ITS TIME FOR ACTION..
THE LUXURY OF JUST SITTING AROUND AND HOPING FOR THER BEST IS OVER.
Our Lady of the Rosary
Thursday October 7, 2010
Pope Leo XIII designated it so is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, which falls on October 7. Like many Marian feasts, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary celebrates the protection of Christians through the intercession of the Mother of God; and, like many feasts toward the end of the liturgical year, it commemorates a struggle with the forces of Islam.
In this case, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary commemorates the victory of Christian naval forces at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. At a time when Christian Europe was being torn apart by internal strife and the Reformation, Don John of Austria destroyed the Turkish fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto. His victory was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom rosaries were offered and processions were made in Rome on the day of the battle.
The feast was instituted by Pope St. Pius V shortly after the victory, and Pope Clement XI extended it to the entire Church in celebration of another victory over the Turkish Muslims in 1716.
Please get back to me with your comments!!!
Father B this is definitely one for YOU!!
Church in Need organisers, This is definitely one for you too just as it is for me and all serious Christians around the world.....
Legionnaires of Mary,....... a call to spiritual arms!!!
Pray the Holy Rosary at least once a day.
To those of you who have more than one rosary, give it away and help someone else to catch fire too.

michael jaffray king.
SECTION A...
1A)...So far I have not had one reply to this letter and especially from those of you who have been arguing so effectively against the Catholic Church with those bees in your bonnet about Purgatory and Mary etc etc etc ... I am not trying to make you feel bad but only trying to wake you up as to the great seriousness of the situation in our world today.
2A)...Gay marriages... Abortion.... Adoption of children by gay couples...Euthanasia
and many more... all of which the Catholic Church is standing unshakingly against.
3A)...Come on Greg!!!John!!!Jost!!!Michael!!!Nick!!!Bob!!!Immo!!!Bruce!!!Richard!!!
Steve Stephen!!!Stuart!!!HJ!!!!Daniel!!!Arvid!!!Bill
4A)...You are all my very best friends...This is nothing personal but I sincerely want you to try and shoot this down and come up with a working alternative..
5A)...Go through this with a tooth comb.. Correct me on my serious errors in this letter to you!! This is important stuff and is designed to make you think and defend your position.
6A)...I am an amateur very amateur apologist and I believe I have stated my case very well with all the help I could get from Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit and those much better qualified than me.
7A)...So have a go... I dare you.... Just write your comments directly at the place where my errors occur!I suggest in CAPITALS so they will stand out and dwarf my errors!!!!Yes it will take you a little time of your very valuable time but you will be able to save me from my errors just as I am trying to save you from yours... OK?
SECTION B....
1B)...Please take this wickedly truthful letter and tear it apart line by line and show me that you have something better...I dare you to try... I will take all entries very seriously.
2B)...WRITE CAPS ON TOP of WHAT i HAVE WRITTEN!!!!!!... I WILL NOT CONSIDER THAT SHOUTING ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE
SECTION C....
1C)...The Devil!
The Devil!
This is a huge subject and I may have to write this in parts and I hope you will find this interesting and that most important, it will stir you into action!
2C)...THE DEVIL IS REAL AND HE IS PLAYING FOR KEEPS!!! NEVER EVER FORGET THAT!!!
3C)...This LINK will greatly help, and the talk by Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be a very good start to my comments and reflections on what I have learned so far.
4C)...Just go to You Tube and type in Archbishop Fulton J Sheen....The Devil
5C)...THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD JOKES AT THE BEGINNING TO WHET YOUR APPETITE and get you into a good mood.....
6C)...After watching the Bishop, and he is very good, and some say he was the greatest communicator of the 20th Century on TV, and Radio.
7C)...He had a huge audience and many if not most were not Roman Catholic,,,,,,,
Then...........
SECTION D...
1D)...Please read the following passage very carefully.
Luke Chapter 8...
26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he had come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.
28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said:
What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech you, do not torment me.
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.
30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? But he said: Legion.
2D)...Legion, I always thought meant a 1000 but it actually means 6000!!!!
3D)...He was literally being lead around by 6000 different opinions with absolutely no unity, except to taunt him and lead him astray and eventually destroy him
4D)...This is a very important observation as you will see later...
5D)...I hope you listened to Bishop Sheen and he listed 3 characteristics of Satanic possession.
Nudity
Violence
Split personality
if I remember correctly.
We will have to deal with these characteristics later
6D)...The Bishop gave a definition for the word Devil. Do you remember what it was?
Diaballein.. which can mean to Tear apart and to rip in pieces....and ultimately destroy..
SECTION E...
1E)...Have you ever watched those documentaries where the Lion carefully splits the herd and takes one little Buffalo and then kills it while all the others are running away in a different direction.
2E)...Smart!
3E)...Why?
4E)...Because those Buffalo Parents and Uncles and Aunties could prove a problem for the Lion if they were not separated.
5E)...Just imagine if those Buffaloes had stayed together with a Leader telling them to form a circle around the tender little Buffalo calves, and defend themselves as He the Leader gave instructions to an obedient herd.????
6E)...I think the Lions would get very thin and hungry and maybe start eating grass!
SECTION F...
1F)...John Chapter 10 verse 10 says
The thief comes not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.
SECTION G...
1G)...We all know that Jesus is a GOOD SHEPHERD and does not want His Flock to be divided...
Do you believe that?????
2G)...Jesus prays in John Chapter 17 for all to be one.... Do you remember that???
3G)...Jesus was the smartest of all!
a...He knew men and what was inside them.
b...He knew just how imperfect they were.
c...He knew they would need teachers.
d...He knew they would need schools.
e...He knew they would need a Head Master and other disciplinarians to maintain order.
4G)...Imagine telling all the children in England to go to school and the books would all be there and all they would have to do is to read them themselves and there would from now on be no more teachers.
5G)...The Lord of the Flies is a Movie which I have not seen but it shows what a bunch of kids get up to when there is no leadership and discipline... Horrible!!!
6G)...Well I am just a kid too. A 72 year old kid and I need people of greater and proven experience to keep me in line too.
SECTION H...
1H)...I hope you see what I am driving at.
2H)...I and the Catholic Population are for sure not better than you non Catholics. Some of my very best friends are Non Catholics.
3H)...Actually to tell you the TRUTH, I for sure am not Catholic because we have the most on fire and attractive personnel.
a...We are a weak bunch and many time not even nice.
b...Some of us are Pharisees of the worst kind. Me too at times!
c...Some of us are so weak in our faith that we may and probably will give up in the future.
4H)...BUT we have a STRUCTURE
We have Leadership
And we have stood the test of time.
SECTION I...
1I)...One of the best examples I know and one which continually sticks in my mind and is a tremendous encouragement is a true story about Padre Pio
2I)...You can watch the movie on you tube! and this characteristic of his is the reason why God was so with this guy and why he became a Saint so soon after his death.
3I)...I think it was for 10 years that he was prevented from taking Holy Mass and hearing confessions. Not 10 days or ten weeks but 10 years. ALL BECAUSE OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS...
4I)...He had a really good friend who was not a Priest and everyone knew that the Local Bishop was a womaniser on the side.
5I)...This friend trying to encourage Father Pio made a negative allusion to this Bishop and got an immediate slap on the face from the Father . He angrily corrected him for his insubordination and lack of respect toward a higher authority.
SECTION J....
1J)...Saint Pio knew the paramount importance of the need for this 2000 year old structure, even if people in the structure were bad sinners and very bad role models.
a...I am not a Catholic because of good or bad priests.
b...I am not a Catholic because other members of the congregation of my church love me or hate me or even worse are indifferent towards me
2J)...but because of Matthew Ch 16 verse 18...
Jesus Christ is building, maintaining and carrying on my Church with or without me or you or good people or bad people but just because He promised to do so ….....
3J)...And He has put a structure in place which totally confounded those False Prophets prior to the Pope's visit to my country who believed and spread lies that B16 would return to Rome with his tail between his legs having been snubbed and humiliated by the British Public.
4J)...The rest of you who are not in this structure but going to an unstructured school with just books to read and no teachers are easy meat for the Diaballein who is eating you and your denominations for breakfast.
5J)...Splitting and splitting and then more splitting and eventual destruction or even worse ineffectiveness!!!!!!!!
6J)...It is like going to war without a General or Army Commander... Just take your gun and some ammo and some difficult to understand instructions and win the war all by yourself... Crazy isn't it????
Take your pick...
We are all old..
We can all die tomorrow or tonight??
Then there is no turning back.. Like the story of Dives and Lazarus...
This life is almost over and this could be my last chance to get through to you about very very important matters...

The devil and Archbishop Fulton J Sheen
The Devil!
The Devil!
This is a huge subject and I may have to write this in parts and I hope you will find this interesting and that most important, it will stir you into action!
THE DEVIL IS REAL AND HE IS PLAYING FOR KEEPS!!! NEVER EVER FORGET THAT!!!
This LINK will greatly help, and the talk by Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be a very good start to my comments and reflections on what I have learned so far.

THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD JOKES AT THE BEGINNING TO WHET YOUR APPETITE!
After watching the Bishop, and he is very good, and some say he was the greatest communicator of the 20th Century on TV, and Radio.
He had a huge audience and many if not most were not Roman Catholic,,,,,,,
Then...........
Please read the following passage very carefully.
Luke Chapter 8...
26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he had come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.
28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said:
What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech you, do not torment me.
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.
30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? But he said: Legion.
Legion, I always thought meant a 1000 but it actually means 6000!!!!
He was literally being lead around by 6000 different opinions with absolutely no unity, except to taunt him and lead him astray and eventually destroy him
This is a very important observation as you will see later...
I hope you listened to Bishop Sheen and he listed 3 characteristics of Satanic possession.
Nudity
Violence
Split personality
if I remember correctly.
We will have to deal with these characteristics later
The Bishop gave a definition for the word Devil. Do you remember what it was?
Diaballein.. which can mean to Tear apart and to rip in pieces....and ultimately destroy..
Have you ever watched those documentaries where the Lion carefully splits the herd and takes one little Buffalo and then kills it while all the others are running away in a different direction.
Smart!
Why?
Because those Buffalo Parents and Uncles and Aunties could prove a problem for the Lion if they were not separated.
Just imagine if those Buffaloes had stayed together with a Leader telling them to form a circle around the tender little Buffalo calves, and defend themselves as He the Leader gave instructions to an obedient herd.????
I think the Lions would get very thin and hungry and maybe start eating grass!
John Chapter 10 verse 10 says
The thief comes not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.
We all know that Jesus is a GOOD SHEPHERD and does not want His Flock to be divided...
Do you believe that?????
Jesus prays in John Chapter 17 for all to be one.... Do you remember that???
Jesus was the smartest of all!
He knew men and what was inside them.
He knew just how imperfect they were.
He knew they would need teachers.
He knew they would need schools.
He knew they would need a Head Master and other disciplinarians to maintain order.
Imagine telling all the children in England to go to school and the books would all be there and all they would have to do is to read them themselves and there would from now on be no more teachers.
The Lord of the Flies is a Movie which I have not seen but it shows what a bunch of kids get up to when there is no leadership and discipline... Horrible!!!
Well I am just a kid too. A 72 year old kid and I need people of greater and proven experience to keep me in line too.
I hope you see what I am driving at.
I and the Catholic Population are for sure not better than you non Catholics. Some of my very best friends are Non Catholics.
Actually to tell you the TRUTH, I for sure am not Catholic because we have the most on fire and attractive personnel.
We are a weak bunch and many time not even nice.
Some of us are Pharisees of the worst kind.
Some of us are so weak in our faith that we may and probably will give up in the future.
BUT we have a STRUCTURE
We have Leadership
And we have stood the test of time.
One of the best examples I know and one which continually sticks in my mind and is a tremendous encouragement is a true story about Padre Pio
You can watch the movie on you tube! and this characteristic of his is the reason why God was so with this guy and why he became a Saint so soon after his death.
I think it was for 10 years that he was prevented from taking Holy Mass and hearing confessions. Not 10 days or ten weeks but 10 years. ALL BECAUSE OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS...
He had a really good friend who was not a Priest and everyone knew that the Local Bishop was a womaniser on the side.
This friend trying to encourage Father Pio made a negative allusion to this Bishop and got an immediate slap on the face from the Father . He angrily corrected him for his insubordination and lack of respect toward a higher authority.
Saint Pio knew the paramount importance of the need for this 2000 year old structure, even if people in the structure were bad sinners and very bad role models.
I am not a Catholic because of good or bad priests.
I am not a Catholic because other members of the congregation of my church love me or hate me or even worse are indifferent towards me but because of Matthew Ch 16 verse 18...
Jesus Christ is building, maintaining and carrying on my Church with or without me or you or good people or bad people but just because He promised to do so and He has put a structure in place which totally confounded those False Prophets prior to the Pope's visit to my country who believed and spread lies that B16 would return to Rome with his tail between his legs having been snubbed and humiliated by the British Public.
The rest of you who are not in this structure but going to an unstructured school with just books to read and no teachers are easy meat for the Diaballein who is eating you and your denominations for breakfast.

Apologetics for the Catholic Church.. SHOW ME SOMETHING BETTER
39 years ago, I joined the Jesus movement.
This was a movement born in California amongst the Hippies and surfers and drop outs of the late 60s and 70s.
I was in this group for a quarter of a century!
5 years earlier I had given my heart to Jesus on a railway train one cold February morning shortly after the death of a great statesman, Sir Winston Churchill.
I was in and out of many different denominations as I looked for something to really give my life too.
IF JESUS WAS WORTH FOLLOWING, HE WAS WORTH FOLLOWING ALL THE WAY.
I COULD NOT SETTLE FOR JUST CHURCH BENCH WARMING AND OCCASIONAL BIBLE STUDY.
First I tried my own branch, the Church of England. Then a revolutionary branch of the Baptists, known as the Navigators.
I owe a great deal to the Navs as they taught me to memorise key verses of The Holy Bible and how to witness effectively. I loved to witness!!!! I still do and do it every day except Sundays and even then I do if I get the chance.
I do not want to arrive in Eternal Life alone. I want to bring many others along with me.
I also tried the Brethren and the Methodists and all kinds and shapes and sizes of the Pentecostal world.
You can read a more detailed account in my Auto Bio which is posted on
www.blogspot.com
When I was absolutely desperate, the Lord sent along the Jesus movement of the Children of God.
The COG was everything that I was looking for and more.
It was a life of total faith and commitment and witnessing every day.
It hit London and England like a storm or rather a powerful breath of the Holy Spirit.
With no visible means of support except blind faith in the promises of Jesus Christ in the Bible we were soon in a very few years expanding all over the world.
Back to the point of this true story.
Our first Community was in a warehouse, a disused Factory belonging to a Mr Frampton in Bromley Kent.
One of his sons joined the group, much to his dismay. Mr F was a kind of solid evangelical.. a branch of the Brethren, I think??
As I was the oldest being 30 or 31, I was often being used to explain the group to Reporters, Police, Parents and many a time to Mr Frampton himself.
He would keep saying to me that he was very suspicious of the COG and why was I not thankful for just being an EVANGELICAL?????
This was before they embraced a sexual revolution for which they eventually became notorious.
I SAID TO HIM AND TO THE MANY VISITORS WHO ASKED ME SIMILAR QUESTIONS.....
Show me something better and I will for sure join it.
Catholicism was out of the question as in England the ANTI CATHOLIC DISINFORMATION
PROGRAMME had been very successful and was branded a false form of Christianity... Bells...Smells...Priests dressed up as women..
Later after watching and amazing Zeffirelli movie, BROTHER SUN and sister moon, on the life of Saint Francis of Assissi, I did begin to see that we in the COG were not unique.
Now my challenge to you, this early morning on October the 5th, my Mothers Birthday and also the Saints day of Faustina who died as I was born 48 days later.....Show me something better than the Roman Catholic Faith....
Show me a faith that has stood its ground for 2000 years.
Show me a faith that has such an enormous impact on this modern world and makes headline news regularly, even if sometimes it is only our sad errors.
Do you mean to tell me that there is no Paedophilia in Protestantism?
Of course there is but nobody cares or just very few.
What group runs more Hospitals, Charities, Hospices, Schools and places of Higher education?
Look at the publicity our Church got as Pope B16 went to the UK and confounded all the angry PROTESTERS!!!
If the leader of a Protestant sect even a so called main line one like Methodists or C of E would commit adultery it would make very little news, but if our Pope gets knocked down by accident by an over enthusiastic lady, it is headlines on CNN and BBC.
God Bless you!!!!!
God love you!!!!!
Peace!!!!!!!
