littleflower+JMJ Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 In "The Triumph of the Church" compiled by Rev. John P. Markoe, S.J. Imprimatur, copyright 1960 Are you Among the Enemies of Christ? Jesus Christ established only one Church. He said, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church." Notice He does not say Churches. He said, "There shall be made one fold and one shepard." In His prayer at the last supper He said, "I pray for them aslo who through their word shall believe in Me; that they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in Me and I in Thee, that they also may be on in Us; that the world my believe that Thou hast sent Me." Today we see many churches. We see Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Espiscopalian, Presbyterian and many other kinds of churches. But Christ founded one Church, therefore all these different denominations cannot be His. If you invite a friend to dine at your house and many guests come, having invitations, you know that these invitations are false, because you only wrote one. Christ founded one Church. Therefore, there is only one true Church. Consequently, all other Churches must be false. Christ said, "He that is not with ME is against Me." Therefore, those who do not belong to that one Church of Christ are against Him. They are associated with the enemies of Christ. They many not mean to be against Him, yet they are against Him. Is it not deplorable to be against Christ! But which is that one true Church? Christ, speaking to His followers, said, "you are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid" His Church, therefore, cannot be hard to find! Which Church goes back to Jesus Christ and the twelve Apostles. A family is Irish, if of Irish descent. Similarly, that Church is the true Church of Christ which goes back to Christ. The only Church which goes back to Christ is the Catholic Church. Therefore, it is the only true Church of Christ. All others, started by men, are impostures. The Lutheran Church was founded by Luther. It is Luther's church, Not Christ's. The Baptish Church was started by our own country in the year 1639, less than three hundred years ago, by Roger Williams. The Methodist Church was started in Englandin the year 1739, less than two hundred years ago, by John Wesly. It cannot be the Church of Christ. So likewise all the Protestant Churches were started by men. None of them existed four hundred years ago. Therefore, not one of them is the Church founded by Christ. Chirst founded His Church in Palestine, almost two thousand years ago. The Catholic Church has existed since the days of Christ. It alone goes back to Christ and the twelve Apostles. It is Divine descent from Christ Himself. Its the same Church which Christ built upon a rock. He said, "The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." "Behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." That is His Church will last, in all its purity, until the end of time. eh did His work well. Men cannot build a new and better Church than the one Christ built! "he that is not with Me is against Me" "He that gatereth not with Me, scattereth" But you may say that your too old to change. To be a Christian adn to love God is good enough. But you must love God in the way He wants to be loved. you do not love God the way He wants to be loved unless you do what He demands and unless you belong to the Church He founded for your welfare. It is never too late to begin. The twelve Apostles were born in the jewish religion. Their forefathers had been Jews for more than a thousand years. Yet they left the old Jewish religion to become true followers of Christ. A sensible man will glady return to teh right road from which he has wandered. thousands have done so and found supreme happiness in the Catholic Church, teh true Church of Jesus Christ. ************** this book from is Angelus Press Kansus City, MO 64109 USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Kewl!! B) Here's something else I found interesting.... A Significant Gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willguy Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 AMEN! (BTW, the significant gap thing expresses my belief completely. Why would God send His only Son to make the world right, and then let it fall immediatly into apostacy until 1500 years later?) Peace all and God Bless, Willguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
