I was baptized an infant into the Roman Catholic Church and in time became
competent enough with elementary catechism to complete First Holy
Communion and Confirmation. I remained on Rome's path 24 years so I
know for myself just how difficult it is to attain Heaven by means of that
religion's faith and practices.
As a young Catholic, I sincerely believed I needed Mary's assistance; but
what I eventually found out is that what I desperately needed, and didn't
know it, was a Passover lamb.
When the Lord journeyed thru the land of Egypt during the original Passover
described in the 12th chapter of Exodus; He wasn't looking for piety, nor
repentance, nor charity, nor faith, nor religion, nor perseverance, nor
courage, nor confession, nor kindness, nor tithing, nor weeping, nor prayers,
nor morality, nor baptism, nor gender, nor age, nor ethnic identity, nor
would it have mattered if people inside some of the homes didn't taste their
lamb because the Lord was looking for only one thing: the blood.
Now as long as the blood was applied as directed; even the Wiccans, the
Voodoo priests, the mediums, the terrorists, the Hamas, the Hezbollah, the
Syrians, the Palestinians, the LGBT, and North Korea's Kim family dynasty
would've been safe inside those homes because the people's personal
conduct was unimportant that night.
● 1 Cor 5:7 . . Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.
FAQ: How might someone participate in Christ's Passover?
REPLY: I suggest an RSVP
Find a quiet spot, anyplace will do, even a stall in the men's room.
Cover your face with your hands for a sense of connection and tell God, in
your own words, out loud or under your breath, that you thus far haven't
measured up to His standards and you're pretty sure you never will. Tell Him
you'd like to take advantage of His son's crucifixion to protect yourself from
retribution.
People need speak up like that only once and never again because Christ's
crucifixion is very much superior to the Levitical atonement system.
For example: the great day of atonement, a.k.a. Yom Kippur, is always
catching up; it can't even keep up, let alone get ahead. The moment the
annual ritual ends, people begin accumulating sins towards the next Yom
Kippur; which is a whole year away.
In contrast, Jesus' crucifixion atoned for the people's entire lifetime-- their
past life, their current life, and tomorrow's life. Consequently those who take
advantage of his crucifixion to protect themselves from retribution are
guaranteed to be passed over at the great white throne event depicted by
Rev 20:11-15 where people that are unprotected will be slammed with a
mode of death akin to a foundry worker falling into a kettle of molten iron.
Pop Clock Update: 3,758 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If
the figures in post #1 are within reason, then something like 220,147,398
new arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of Hades since Dec 10, 2014.
