I. The word “paradox” is defined as “A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true.”

II. A paradox involves two statements that are contradictory yet true.

I. WE MUST DIE TO LIVE (MT 16:24-26; ROM 6:3-4; GAL 2:20).

II. WE MUST MOURN TO BE HAPPY (MT 5:4). Continue reading →

When it comes to the Final and Divine Chastisement, this is one of those subjects which, again, has been kicked around all through the ages since the flood wiped out the human race—with the exception of Noe and his family. As in the case of the flood, most DIVINE chastisements are directed at the enemies of the faith— Sodom and Gomorrah , the ten plagues of Egypt (where every first born of the Egyptians died)—and the faithful were protected. We read in Deuteronomy (32:41): “I will render vengeance to my enemies, and repay them that hate me”; and Ephesians (5:6): “The wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.” Continue reading →

THREE DAYS ON HELL, HEAVEN & PURGATORY (OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 2)

We have entered a period of time which, under the surface, could be said to be a battle between Heaven and Hell. Today, October 31st, the eve of All Saints Day, which traditionally begins with the liturgy of First Vespers on (Ocotober 31st) the evening before All Saints Day (November 1st), has been turned into a glorification of pagan and diabolical customs. We will therefore, over the course of three days, a triduum of sorts, look at Hell (Halloween), Heaven (All Saints Day) and Purgatory (All Souls Day). Continue reading →

It is a booklet on Apostasy, and on how abandonment of the truth about God has led to all other evils in the Church and in Society. We strongly suggest you read, print out, send to friends, and spread it around as widely as possible, as it helps explain so much, including how a minority of perverted activists has been trying to alter the very words of Christ on the truth on marriage.

To my Catholic and Protestant friends;

What many of you fail to realize is all Christian religions use and follow the “Word of God,” Generally refereed to as the Bible. Catholics who might not read the Bible on a daily basis have it read to them daily or read from it if they attend Mass, (or Services) daily. What most seem to overlook is Catholics have a daily prayer book which is also used on Sundays, called a Missal. The Missal not only has our Mass prayers but also has Biblical readings in them under the readings and the gospel for each day. The readings are generally of the old testament and the gospel, of course from the new.  The only difference between the Bible and the Missal is that the Biblical sections of the Missal are arranged according to the Seasons. Spring, being the main season because of Easter. (The Resurrection.) then summer, fall and winter (Advent) and Christmas.

One of the reasons for the transfiguration of Our Lord  was to demonstrate the relationship between our body and our ghost, (soul). The reason being to what transpires during the general judgment. ” In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,…” I Corin. 15:52.  Often to illustrate this at some of my lectures, I would go over to a light switch. Then point to the light bulb in the off position, Then say,  with the light bulb turned off, think of it as our physical body. When God turns the switch on, you go immediately to your Ghost, then those who go to heaven, in our glorified body, (We become like the Angels) . Continue reading →

Under Apostasy: number 205 A.
“Apostasy is the complete abandonment of the Christian Faith by those who have been baptized.”

But this is not the Biblical meaning St. Paul  and other Apostles  speaks about the universal apostasy not as a total abandonment of Christianity but a general revolt against the true teachings of the Church.

A schism. Continue reading →

“Our Lord said to Pilate (John 19:11): ‘He that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin,’ and yet it is evident that Pilate was guilty of some sin. Therefore one sin is greater than another.

Therefore it matters much to the gravity of a sin whether one departs more or less from the rectitude of reason: and accordingly we must say that sins are not all equal.

To commit sin is unlawful on account of some inordinateness therein: wherefore those which contain a greater inordinateness are more unlawful, and consequently graver sins.” – St. Thomas Aquinas (“Summa Theologica” 13th century A.D.) Continue reading →

The Bible contains references to many Christian doctrines, but fails to call them out by name. One might as well even deny that there is something called the Bible because no such name is found in the Bible. Furthermore, one might as well deny the Trinity, Incarnation, and so forth because these exact words are not found in the Bible. Continue reading →

Saint John the Baptist, Last of the Major Prophets until the End Times
Nativity June 24

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the Prophet; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. St. Lk. 4:23-30

Our Lord was demonstrating why those who lack faith seldom see signs and miracles, as He continues, an evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the Prophet. St. Matt. 12:39. A prelude to our times as this generation, too, demands signs from God’s witnesses preceding the Second Coming of Christ. Continue reading →
