If we were brought up a Catholics we KNOW what we are supposed to do and how we are to live.
We were also given FREE WILL...to choose Jesus or not.
Priests STILL do exorcisms. Euthanizing Murdering the elderly and aborting murdering God's newest and most innocent souls have always been wrong and EVERY Catholic/Christian knows that.
Even Muslims don't believe in abortion. They love all their children, no matter how damaged they might be.
I remember the "Exorcist". [Based on a true story.] Satan had promised the boy TEN LEGIONS in hell.
The possessed girl was Hollywood's idea.
SAD that so many Christians are WITHOUT Jesus here on earth, isn't it? [Rhetorical]
“SAD that so many Christians are WITHOUT Jesus here on earth, isn’t it?”
Once again, I refer to the video posted of the woman hitting a baby. I tried to explain this. When we view or even think of such things, our minds turn numb. We can’t even think about it.
The truth is, that this is a prime example of Jesus’ love for all of us.
Growing up, before finding, thanking and falling before Jesus I thought I knew love. My parents love me, I mean my parents love me in the truest sense. I knew what it was to be loved, but I’m talking about loving another.
I was enamored with girlfriends, I said I loved them. And at the time I truly thought I did. If you were to tell me then what I know now, I would have scoffed.
The truth is that I didn’t know what love was until I knew that Jesus loved me (and you) so much that he died on the cross for us. And he died in a horrible, violent way. He did it for me (And you). After feeling that love I knew then that what I felt for others may be respect - it may be passion but love is what I feel for my wife and daughter right now. It’s what I, in return, now feel for my older family as well.
I would have died for my exes. Sure I would have. Honestly, I would die for you all too. But I would march in and kick the doors to hell down for my wife and daughter.
I’ve dated wildly attractive women in my history. I’ve had fast-paced, respectful relations with them as well. I’ve hurt them, and they’ve hurt me. It wasn’t until I met my wife, and fell to knees before Jesus that I knew what love was.
That woman who hit her child thought (or at least claimed) to be teaching the baby a lesson. This woman didn’t think she was being evil. While I can’t attest to every aspect of this horror, I can tell you where it did NOT begin. It did NOT begin with the love of Christ.
When one understands the love of Christ, they too understand that to keep up with the love of Christ they will always fall short. But they will understand at least what love is, and strive to give it. And not give it for their own reward, nor for the reward offered at Jesus’s side in heaven - But to give it to another because that kind of love is for all, and people deserve to feel that love.
Most will never comprehend Hell ... and I don’t expect them to even come close because only a small percentage of people understand the love of Jesus Christ. And without that, one will never understand the rest. They will never understand an existence without God because they don’t understand an existence WITH God.
