even Unities God Grants His Catholic Church
The Ties that Bind Christ to His One Church and we to Christ
by Patrick j Miron
Matthew 7: 21, 24 - 27
"Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house,
but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."
“Let those “who have ears hear”
Matt.13:9-12 “He who has ears, let him hear." Then the disciples [Apostles] came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. [Jesus speaks here of true Faith and Right Understanding.]
2nd. Peter 1: 17-21 “You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
2nd. Peter 3: 14-17 “Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability”
In order to, God willing, improve the odds of those needing to get this message, actually being able to grasp its importance, I will be extremely blunt and clear. PLEASE do not take offense to what I am saying. My tone is NOT accusatory; rather it is shared out of a sincere love of my neighbors; our brethren in the non-Catholic, Christian communions. And a deep concern for the salvation of all-possible souls.
God Teaches and permits
ONLY of one each of the Seven signs of unity.
“Seven” is a biblical number signifying “Perfect.”
1. One Body = Church, One single Faith organization
2. One Spirit = Love of God, self and neighbor as ourselves
3. One Hope = Salvation, which is a process of many essential-components
4. One Christ = Redeemer and Savior: Are not synonymous terms
5. One Faith= Only What God Actually teaches in its totality
6. One Baptism= Water and the Spirit, Desire, and or Blood
7. One God =Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Shown below is an amazing biblical summary-confirmation of what God has always held too as key elements of the singular truths necessary for anyone’s salvation.
It expresses the essential unity and doctrines that relate most directly to the broad issue of “salvation.”
It is in a nearly complete “outline” form, what each of us must know the details of, then accept and live fully, if our “hope” of our own and others salvation is to bear the fruit of reality.
Each of the elements has a direct, irrevocable connection to today’s Catholic Church,
led of course by the Roman Catholic Church,
as the “keeper of the Key’s”
, those men that God Himself chooses
, like Peter,
to Lead
and to teach to
“the ends of the earth”
[Mt. 28:16-20] , all that Christ has Ordained and commands.
1. One Body = Church, One single Faith organization
The New testament alone has over 100 references to but One Church, meaning one set of Faith beliefs, confined in a single faith-organization. God Choose only “One” Chirch influenced by Divine Prudence, Justice and Fairness. Any more than one would increase the potential for error.
Would permit a double jeopardy. 1. The choice of knowing and loving God or hating God.
2. A possibility of “loving God” in a manner NOT of His Divine choosing.
Quite possibly insufficient for ones personal salvation?
7. One God =Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Again there is no debate on this Critical issue. [THANK GOD!] Nor is there room for one. It is true and also FACT. Amen!
Eph.4 Verses 1 to 24 CONTINUED: “….
“And his gifts were that some should be
apostles,
some prophets,
some evangelists,
some pastors and
teachers,
to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
[Singular] until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body,
[Singular]
joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied,
when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.
This my friends, defines, and explains OUR Personal Mission, and the Mission of “The Church “ [Singular.] It is in this very sense that “WE ARE Thee Church.” SHE; “Mother Church” exist For us, and if we are truly joined to Her; by us; and through us to Christ.
Eph.4 Verses 1 to 24 CONTINUED: “….
“Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do,
in the futility of their minds;
they are darkened in their understanding
, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them,
due to their hardness of heart;
they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.
You did not so learn Christ! --
Paul, like me in this lesson is getting tired.
The list he supplies is to include ALL of the Commandments and full Obedience to Church Teachings.
The root of each of these articulated sins can be attributed to Satan’s favorite tool: man’s pride. Pride is the lead - in to all Seven Capitol Sins [also a separate lesson.].
Eph.4 Verses 1 to 24 CONTINUED: “….
“assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.
Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” Amen!
What a truly amazing and informative chapter. God willing, you now also have gained some insight as to why it is dangerous to trust your own understanding of what the Bible ACTUALLY is teaching. The test is: “If it does NOT fully conform to what the Catholic Church teaches; quite simply; it is wrong.
May God Continue to Bless, Guide and Protect you!
