“Answers to my Catholic Friends” by Thomas F. Heinze    part 4

Isaiah 55:3, 6-11

“

Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; … "Seek the LORD while [AND WHERE] he may be found, call upon him while he is near; [In the manner Ordained by God Himself] …

 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.

 [Thus I have provided for you certain MEN Guided and Protected by Me to Translate My Words]  

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 [Which Means NOT just anyone can understand what the Bible actually teachers] 

 "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed

 [Knowledge /and Understanding]

 to the sower [TEACHER]

 and bread to the eater,

 [RIGHT Knowledge and Understanding to those who HEAR the Word of God]

 so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not

 [Meaning it BETTER NOT]

 return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,

 [IF IT IS ACCPTED, Understood and APPLIED] 

 and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

“What Is The Most Important Difference Between Protestants and Catholics?”

A Catholic reply to Protestant “[mis]- Understandings” Part 4

FRIENDS, I am prefacing this section with a brief “How to Understand the Bible Lesson”

I will share all of the key points and teachings of our friend Thomas, but only respond [and then briefly], to but a few of his thoughts. Then I will share what the Catholic Church [and therefore God Himself] teaches is absolutely necessary for ones personal salvation; fully supported by the bible, because this is what Christ Himself demands. It really is a “take it or leave it proposition.” 

1. [A Direct quote] “We cannot merit salvation.. ‘cursed is he who does not abide by EVERYTHING [my emphasis] written in the book of the law‘ ” Gal.3:10 “God ask us to abide by “everything” NOT to be better than others. If my friends, this is actually understood and accepted; why then is it time after time disobeyed? Ignored? Or denied by the very ones making the proclamation?

Mark 1: 15 “and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel." [THIS MEANS THE ENTIRE BIBLE, NOT JUST CULLED QUOTES].

1^st. Tim.6:1-6 “Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. …If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ [The ENTIRE Bible, not just parts of it] and the teaching which accords with godliness,  he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. There is great gain in godliness with contentment”
