Can I, a mere mortal creation of God, improve the Truth??? The splendour of Truth, handed down since the time of Jesus and the Apostles??????
Original sin is to want to play God...
Excuse me Sir! or Mam, I want to be God! Get out of my way please!
You see the point is that these rules were made 2000 years ago and are not up to date..
The world wasn't overcrowded so of course artificial birth control, abortion, Euthanasia and Divorce are all a part of My right to choose.
What God said is out of date...
I know better because I have studied and I am a PHD in History etc etc etc....
ALSO a very very very important point..... I have the Bible in my language and can read it and interpret it any way I like...I am smart and why should I believe what has been handed down by fuddy duddy old men and women from yesteryear????
If you implicitly believe the Bible then let me ask you a few questions about your obedience to it and especially to those red letter high lighted words of Jesus Christ Himself.
Mark Ch 16 verse 15 say very plainly.... “ Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to very creature!”
Did you do that and are you doing that??????
Jesus said to forsake all and give up everything and follow Him... Did you and are you doing that???
“Go sell everything you have and give to the poor and come and follow me!” This is not a suggestion but a command.
There are scores of other points but let these suffice for now.
In Jesus' Church every Priest, every Friar, every Nun, has to forsake all and do as they are told by the chain of command.
I as a lay person am not expected to do this although I have opted for this all my Christian life.
I did not know about the Division of full time and part time followers set up by Jesus and the Apostles. So I opted for the full time...
Now hopefully you are beginning to see just how foolish and dangerous it is to act independently and not come under the Umbrella of Christ's ordained Church.
This recent event in Baghdad brings this out very clearly..
These people did not die a clean death as in a beheading or guillotining where death is instantaneous, but slow and painful from mortal wounds which left them bleeding and dying in terrible pain.
We are playing a very dangerous game...
That is why Jesus prayed for us all to be one..
What a stupid and silly prayer for Jesus to pray unless it was a distinct possibility..
Yes for this prayer of Christ's to be answered there has to be obedience on the part of the believers.
No hot shot individual... My way is right!!!
If you watch the You Tube Movie on the life of Saint Padre Pio of Petrocina, you will see how important obedience and submission is especially when it seems so unfair.
I re watched this free movie during the Halloween celebrations and am always moved by it and encouraged too.

Being a Roman Catholic...
Of course there are many aspects of being a Roman Catholic...BUT...
This came to me very strongly today on All Saints Day and also my Names Day.. Michael...But no Angel... Yet....Ha!!!
There is only one real Reason to be a Roman Catholic...
It's all about Jesus and has nothing REPEAT NOTHING to do with the Priests good or bad... People that you may or may not meet after Holy Mass, good or bad..Fellowship good or bad...
It's all about Jesus in the Eucharist and also about His Holy Virgin Mother and my Mother too...
People including yourself and myself will let you badly down from time to time and if your faith is in them, then you will go into a tail spin and crash...That's a promise!!!
If you are a Catholic because you want to have good experiences with People, then become a Protestant. But beware because they do not last... Why???? Because they are Human and crash and split ad nausea.
I want Jesus and more and more of Him and His Holy Mother....
This has nothing to do with good or bad examples of other Christians..
It is all about having a very deepening ever deepening, no standing still.. kind of I've arrived... But ever ever deepening relationship with HIM . Hour by hour and day by day....
If you want really good and reliable friends then choose all or any of the Saints... They like Jesus and His Mother will never let you down.
If you have a good priest or a good friends and good fellowship, then that is a bonus....
Do not ever ever ever put your trust in them though because that is all human stuff and can go terribly wrong...
One more thing
Being a Catholic is being part of a Theocracy.. God is absolute Boss and works down through the chain of Command..
Pope, Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, deacons and last laity
Absolutely no Democracy..
God set it up and He knows exactly what He is doing.
We little gods trying to be better than God will always want to say we know better..
Rubbish!!! He knows better and What He set up cannot and never will be changed to suit some democratic opinion.
Be very very very thankful to have found a Rock so much higher than you or me.. Thank God for that Rock.. He changes not...
Peace and God bless you... Try very hard not to be your own god!!!
That is what original sin is all about... The Devil offered Adam and Eve a kind of an equal or higher position than the Almighty God.. “Ye shall be as Gods...!!”
mjk
Where does one begin???
They say rather obviously that the very best place to begin is at the beginning.
I am writing this with two very precious young ladies in mind.
One was the subject of great cruelty at my hands when I dealt harshly with her and her Mum some 18 years ago.
At the time I thought that I had done the right thing but the consequences that followed my action produced great and unnecessary pain especially for the young girl of 11.
Now this extremely precious and unique young lady in her thirties, hates religion and wants no part in it.
Mercifully they have both forgiven me but want no part of my beliefs..
Under the circumstances that is totally understandable and so I am having a shot at trying to reverse the hatred for religion and especially the Roman Catholic Church.
The sect that I used to belong to believed that the name Religion was closely associated with the contempt that the Communists had for Religion, calling it the Opium of the People.
I like the Communists held strongly to that view too.
I have often repeated the words of my Guru, Father Robert Barron of Word on Fire..see
www.wordonfire.org
WE ARE ALL WIRED FOR GOD.. There is just no getting away with it..
It matters not whether you live in a tribe in the depths of the Amazon Jungle or as a seemingly insignificant part of crawling humanity in some concrete jungle of apartment blocks in the cities of this world.
WE ARE WIRED FOR GOD and we will never find true happiness until we make a living and vital continuous contact with our Creator.
I think like many others that a good place to start is at the BIG BANG...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
Which occurred some 13.7 billion years ago.
Georges Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe
George was a Roman Catholic Priest which really makes me happy Ha!
Good for George!!!!!
O.K. So we can begin with this Big Bang...
Now it is important to realise that everything created can be measured and observed.. There is no Mystical Religious side to Science.
Distances fro me to you or from the Earth to Mars or anything, can be measured...
What did the Big Bang bring about??
Time!....Space!.....and Substance!....
So we can assume that before the Big Bang there was neither Time, Space or Substance.
Whatever there was had a completely different dimension..
O.K. Now the Big Question????
What or Who made the Big Bang????
Big Bangs do not just happen by accident out of nowhere.
If there is an explosion in the City Centre killing scores of people, It must have been caused by someone or something.
Maybe Terrorists or an Underground Gas pipe bursting???
Even Karl Marx admitted to a design..I am not an Academic and am just a simple JO!
But with only a limited education in Algebra, to have a Design, not just a simple random design but the most intricate and totally intelligent design of the Human Brain for example or the Galaxies or the structure of a Plant or Animal... The mind boggles at it all???? there must be a designer.
So can we say now that there is a Designer?
Will you agree to that?
OK that's the end of Lesson one...
Lesson 2 will follow shortly...
God Bless you!
Or should I say for your benefit, The Designing Force Bless you!!
Bye for now!

Contunuing... Where do we go from here ???series?????
So far we have seen good reasons to
Believe in a Higher Power... see the comments on the Big Bang..
And see the evidence about those crazy fishermen and their crucified leader telling them to conquer the whole world through preaching and demonstrating, mainly through Martyrdom, Forgiveness.
By any normal reasoning that is quite ridiculous.
Napoleon, the British, Caesars and Karl Marx and Hitler Mao, Polpot and the Muslims have tried to spread their Campaigns by force and bloodshed...
OK that is feasible but
by FORGIVENESS????? That sounds absolutely NUTS unless God might happen to be in it, for with Him, the Bible tells us, Nothing is impossible!
Now which kind of Christianity???
Which of the 38,000 different Denominations should I choose from???
Many tell me that 38,000 is a falsified number to show just how ridiculous Protestantism is...
OK so lets knock a Zero of it and make it only 3800.
If that is still too much... knock another Zero and make it a simple 380...
Personally, if I want to be a Christian, I would like to be a part of the original model set up by God Himself and not some Human improved variety...
This is the problem as Father Robert Barron of Word on fire is continually trying to tell us over and over again..www.wordonfire.org
There is a big problem with the Human race... Yes!! That includes you and me... We all want to be God!!!
Satan's great temptation was...”You too can be like God!” “You do not have to be pushed around by Him any more!”
Women Priests ?? Of course... Times have changed... God's original plan is out of date...
Abortion?? Of course...We cant afford to have any more than 1.3kids.. One point three kids..
Birth control?? Condoms is a great idea!! Why not??? God is out of date... I am God, for God's sake!!
Divorce??? Of course... Why not??? We don't Looooooove each other any more....
Well there is a Church which keeps going no matter what..
No matter whether the people, the priests, the bishops, or even the Pope himself is good or bad... It just keeps rolling on and on and on.... Just like the river Nile or Thames or Mississippi..
Do you happen to know the name of this Church???
That's right!!!!
The Roman Catholic Church with it's Bells and Smells and men dressed up as Women, called Priests.
Many times sad to say, not very nice people... There are plenty of exceptions thank the Lord!!!!
OK so that's all I have to say about the Vietnam War.. Quote from Forest Gump..
Please check out the LINKS at the top and see 2 parts of an awesome movie on the life Of Saint Padre PIO.
Please try and understand!!!
After the horrific events in Baghdad where scores of Catholic Worshippers were slain, it appears that this was a revenge for a really stupid and I would say wicked gesture by one of those Pastors of one those thousands of Protestant sects that had decided to burn The Koran in front of his little church.
An organisation calling itself The Christian Voice, acclaimed this Pastor as Heroic!???????
This is why I keep posting Pro Catholic blogs to show just how dangerous it is to play God, interpreting the Roman Catholic Scriptures handed down to you on a plate, the way that suits you. You have no authority no structure and are out of control. I hope that you are all preparing yourself for Martyrdom, because this is where this blatant stupidity is taking us.
Sadly those Muslim fanatics think that all Christians are one... We are not one and never will be until you all learn to stop playing God and get under the Umbrella of the Church that Jesus himself initiated in Matthew Chapter 16 verse 18..
Yes I am angry!!! It is time to wake up!!! Otherwise there will be more horrors like this one all because of a total lack of Wisdom by the 38,000 sects playing God..
mjk....
.A self inflicted bad day!!
I wonder if you ever have days like I had yesterday?
I woke up worrying!!!
Whenever I worry it is always about Cash..
Even though I can look back on 45 years as a Christian living entirely by faith without ever experiencing the failure of God, somehow this fact does not register on a self inflicted bad day!
We are not going to make it.
We are going to go bust and then Irmgard will have to get a crabby job in a factory which will take her away from the home for 12 hours a day.
God is going to fail us.. He cannot and will not keep up this miracle life of ours for ever.
Well let me tell you one thing very plainly.. God has never let me and my family down.
Irmgard was trying her best to explain this to me, but I couldn't find the brake.
I was going down hill backwards and gathering speed.
We took our Rosaries and arm bands and literature onto the walking street, and all morning I was proved right. We did not make enough cash to pay the Diesel, let alone the food bills.
Having Mikey and Dave to stay has added a great deal to our expenses.
It is such a privilege to have them but with two extra and sometimes three extra hungry mouths to feed has doubled our expenses.
Electricity is more than doubled.
Water consumption and waste water is also 2 to 3 times more.
By midday we were really not cutting the mustard so after prayer we decided to go to a small town called MUCH.
To our joy we found a Shell garage which was selling Diesel at a very very reasonable price and so we took the opportunity to fill the tank.
Yes this made me pleased a bit.
Over Halloween we had spent over a 100 Euro on fun and food and treats.
Now in Much we needed to make at least 50 E to make up.
For some reason the Children Money office each October decides not to give us more Kindergeld..
Crazy and so we have to fight for it..
Last week we did our fighting and they said they would send it, but it did not arrive.
I tried to put a brave face on all these factors and spent 2 hours in Much getting no where and instead of thinking about all the souls I should be winning onto the right path as I usually do I just got more discouraged.
Irmgard cheerful and unworried as usual was working in a car park independently from me.
When I got back to her and it was time to head for home, I found that she had had a wonderful time and many Rosaries and Literature out and many people helped in their faith.. I was a real shamer and to top it all she had 45 Euro which with my measly 5 made the 50 we had prayed for. The Children money also arrived..
God had blessed her and not me for obvious reasons.
When will I ever learn???
Hopefully soon...
God bless you and KGFG
Where does one go from here?
Sequel to where does one begin?
I have to assume that you are agreeing with me that there must be some Great and intelligent force that was working in a totally different Dimension..
If we agree thus far then maybe the next move is really a very simple one.
Will you acknowledge that 100 years ago, you and me, we were not here.??
Will you also acknowledge that in a 100 years time we will not be here either?
Have you ever thought about yourself as to how utterly unique you are?
There are no carbon copies on earth at present and in fact there never were and there never will be..
Even if you have an identical twin, you will still have different personalities.
This is a very good thought to always keep in the background as if you do not you may well get eaten up in the ant number syndrome..
i.e. You are just a number like an insignificant ant.
The next step is to examine Jesus Christ and the extraordinary spread of Christianity all over the World in the first 5 centuries after His death and resurrection.
Jesus' message unlike all other religious messages, was about forgiveness.
NO VIOLENCE....NO PUSHING ONES PROGRAMME...Just Forgiveness..
I like to use the word forgiveness instead of LOVE because Love is easily misunderstood and like the word gay has been hi jacked by evil.
This what someone called Boussuet said... I am paraphrasing his words to make it more easily understandable....
“Imagine how absolutely ridiculous and yet how heavenly the inspiration which possessed a bunch of Galilean simple fishermen??
Think about their enterprise and what they set out to accomplish...
No Prince or Military or Political Leader ever conceived such a Lofty plan. Without any human help, these fishermen partitioned off the world..
For conquest not with weapons great or small but with a plan of Love and Forgiveness, ordained by a crucified man in Jerusalem
So that's enough for now....more to follow soon....

need to make a decision about these Catholics... one way or another...
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....

Father Robert Barron of Word on Fire ministry
Thanks for the Wake Up Call!!
Everything and I mean everything you write is done in such a way that it is all a wake up call. It is easy to understand and sometimes you use vocabulary which makes us look up the word, so you are also a teacher that stretches us in our command of the English language..
Thank you Jesus for Father B.
Please keep this servant of God in your prayers.
He is absolutely unique...
All his reflections AND comments illuminate the Eternal Word and goads us into action.

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.

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!!!

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...

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.
Splitting and splitting and then more splitting and eventual destruction or even worse ineffectiveness!!!!!!!!
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????
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

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!!!!!!!
