ADVENT REVEALS   JESUS THE LAST PROPHET 

 APROVED AND SENT BY GOD TO HELP US

TO WORK OUR  SALVATION

 beware of prophets not approved by God

                           Philippians 2:12

 

1)-FALSE PROPHETS WERE COMMON IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.  JESUS WAS SURROUNDED WITH THEM.  THUS HE WARNS US IN VERY CLEAR TERMS.  May we read Jesus in Lucas 21:8:

“Jesus replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.” 

SAINT LUKE REVEALS ALL THE COMPASSION AND THE SOLICITUDE JESUS SHOWS FOR US.  IN SPITE OF HIS WARNINGS NOT TO FOLLOW PROPHETS NOT APPROVED BY GOD, JESUS KNOWS THE LEGIONS OF SOULS WHO WILL BE LOST BECAUSE OF FALSE PROPHETS.

2)-WHY MUST WE BELIEVE JESUS?   

WE MUST BELIEVE JESUS BECAUSE HE PROVED, NOT WITH WORDS, BUT WITH SIGNS, MIRACLES, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, ESPECIALLY WITH HIS OWN RESURRECTION, THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD AND THE LAST PROPHET APPROVED AND SENT BY GOD.

May we read saint Peter in the Acts of the Apostles Acts 2:22-24:

“Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God’s set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,^d put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”. (Acts 2:22-24)

3)-PROPHET ISAIAH  PROCLAIMED  THE COMING OF THE LAST TRUE PROPHET  May we read Isaíah in his own words, Isaiah 9:2-5:

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;  upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.  You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as men make before you as at the harvest, as men make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their shoulder, and the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian.  … FOR A CHILD IS BORN TO US, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.  They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.  His dominion is vast and forever peaceful”.   Help us to prepare our hearts and mind to the coming of your Son in the flesh.”                                          (Isaias 9:2-5)

LORD HELP US TO PREPAFE OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ONLY SON AS YOUR LAST PROPHET, APPROVED AND SENT BY GOD.

4)-HOW DO WE KNOW THAT JESUS IS THE LAST PROPHET, APPROVED AND SENT BY GOD?

JESUS HIMSELF REVEALS TO US THAT HE IS THE LAST PROOPHET APPROVED AND SENT BY GOD?  JESUS HIMSELF ANSWERS OUR QUESTION.  May we read Jesus in his own words in Luke 21:8:   

“He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.”                                                                       (Lucas 21:8)

5)- ONLY GOD CHOOSES, APPOVES AND SENDS HIS PROPHETS. 

IN THIS HISTORICAL TIME OF ADVENT, IT IS OUR SACRED DUTY AS BELIEVERS TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THIS PROFOUND CONFUSION ABOUT PROPHETS.

6)-AFTER JESUS, “NO SO-CALLED PROPHETS”  HAVE PRODUCED ANY SIGNS, WONDERS, MIRACLES, TO PROVE THEIR PROPHETIC MISSION WAS FROM GOD. 

OUR AGE IS TROUBLED WITH SO MANY PREACHERS CLAIMING TO BE PROPHETS WHO, IN THEIR PREACHING, CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER.  ALL ROVE OVER AND CRISS-CROSS THE PLANET AND PEOPLE’S CONCIENCE TO BECOME THEIR FOLLOWERS.  THEY ALL CLAIM TO BE PROPHETS OF GOD, INTERMEDIARIES BETWEEN GOD AND MEN.  HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WONDERS, MIRACLES, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD AS DIVINE PROOFS  CONFIRMING  THEIR MISSION.  NO PROPHET AFTER JESUS EVER CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD!  ONLY OUR PROPHET JESUS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD!

7)-GOD PROMISED HE WILL APPROVE THE PROPHET HE SENDS WITH SIGNS OF WONDERS, MIRACLES TO GUIDE US IN CHOOSING GOD’S TRUE PROPHET. 

THUS, WHEN GOD SENDS HIS PROPHET TO GUIDE US ON OUR JOURNEY TO ETERNAL LIFE,  THE SIGNS HE GIVES US ARE TO BE RECOGNIZED BY EVERY HUMAN BEING.  WE SEE SAINT PETER GOING ALL OUT TO TEACH US HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE TRUE PROPHET SENT BY GOD; GUIDED BY GOD’S DIVINE SIGNS, WE MUST BE ABLE TO SEPARATE HIS TRUE PROPHET FROM ANY FALSE PROPHETS.  May we read saint Peter in his own words,  Acts 2:22:

 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.”

8)-JESUS HIMSELF GUARDS US AGAINST SELF-PROCLAIMED PROPHET.  THEY CANNOT GIVE US ANY MIRACULOUS SIGNS, MIRACLES TO PROVE GOD’S APPROVING THEIR MISSION.  HOWEVER, IN SPITE OF GOD’S ABSENCE, THEY KEEP DECEIVING THEIR FOLLOWERS AWAY FROM THE PATH LEEDING TO SALVATION.  May we read Jesus in his own words in Luke 21:8:

 “ He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.”

9)-THE PROPHET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE.

THE PROPHET IS THE PERSON CHOSEN BY GOD HIMSELF TO BE HIS INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN GOD AND MEN.

GOD TOOK THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO PREPARED THE COMING OF HIS ONLY SON,  HIS LAST PROPHET WHOM HE WAS SENDING TO REDEEM US FROM ADAM’S SIN.  May we read in   Jn 1:44-45:

“Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.  Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

10)-GOD, IN PREPARING THE COMING OF HIS SON, THE LAST PROPHET HE SENT US, USED MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS.  GOD, IN HIS DIVINE WISDOM, HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE IMPORTANCE HE PUT INTO THIS HISTORICAL EVENT OF THE ADVENT OF HIS ONLY SON THE LAST PROPHET.

11)-ADVENT IS A HISTORICAL EVENT CELEBRATED IN THE LITURGY OF THE CHURCH.

DURING THE HISTORICAL TIME OF ADVENT, MANY PROPHETS ANNUNCED THE COMING OF THE MESIAS, THE SON OF GOD AND THE LAST PROPHET UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

12)-GOD USED MANY PROPHETS  WHO CONSUMED THEIR LIFE PREPARING, WITH THEIR PREACHING AND SIGNS AND WONDERS, THE COMING OF THE LAST PROPHET.

May we read the prophet Isaiah 7:13-14:

“ Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? ¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you^[a] a sign: The virgin^[b] will conceive and give birth to a son, and^[c] will call him Immanuel.”

13)-THE ETHIOPIAN BEGS PHILIP’S HELP TO CLARIFY FOR HIM THE MEANING OF THE BIBLE TEXT.

THE ETHIOPIAN, HELPED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BEGS PHILIP TO CLARIFY FOR HIM A CASE IN POINT IN THE BIBLE TEXT THAT HE IS READING.  THUS HE NEEDS HELP TO CLARIFY THE CONFUSION HE SEES IN THE BIBLE CONCERNING THE SEARCH FOR THE REAL PROPHET.

May we read in the Acts of the Apostles,  8:26-40:    

“ Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”  So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian^[a] eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,  and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.  The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”^[b]

The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”  Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”   And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.  When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.  Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.”                                    (Acts of the Apostles,  8:26-40)

14)-ADVENT IS THE FULLNESS OF THE TIME GOD HAS DETERMINED TO SEND US HIS ONLY SON,  HIS LAST PROPHET.   (Mt 16:15-20; Mt 28:19-20; Lc 21:8).  

May we read saint Paul  in Galatians 4:4-7:

“But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,  Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.”

15)-BENEDICT XVI HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST FROM THE ETIOPIAN, WHICH IS BEING REPEATED CONSTANTLY AROUND THE WORLD.  PEOPLE BEG THEIR PASTORS TO TEACH THEM THE CATHOLIC FAITH BUT TO NO AVAIL.  THE ETIOPIAN WAS BLESSED HIS REQUEST WAS GRANTED.  HOWEVER, CRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD ARE NOT BEING GRANTED THEIR REQUEST TO BE EVANGELIZED.  BISHOPS AND PRIESTS REFUSED TO FULFILL THEIR PRIESTLY ORDINATION THAT CONSACRATED THEM TEACHERS OF THE WORD OF GOD.  THEY PREFER THEIR COMMITMENTS TO POLITICS TO SHOW HOW BUSY THEY ARE.  MANY BISHOPS TOLD ME PRIESTS ARE OVERBURDENED WITH OTHER “THINGS.”  THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO CATECHIZE THEIR BAPTIZED.  THEY LOOK LIKE MOTHERS WHO ARE SU BUSY LOOKING AFTER THE STREETS THEY HAVE NO TIME TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN.

16)-POPE BENEDICT XVI WARNS THE BISHOPS OF BRAZIL, AND OF THE WORLD, THEY HAVE LOST THEIR ZEAL TO TEACH CATECHISM.  THEY EVEN DO NOT HAVE TIME TO TEACH THEIR OWN BAPIZED. 

17)-PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH CATHOLICS WHO, NOT ONLY VOTE TO KILL THE UNFORN, BUT PROMOTE IMMORAL PRINCIPLES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. THEY TAKE THEIR DELIGHT IN  SUPPORTING OBAMA BECAUSE HE STANDS STRONG AGAINST THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.  

MAY WE PRAY FOR OUR BISHOPS WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THEIR SACRED CONSACRATION OF ORDAINED THAT THEY ARE PRIESTS NOT TO BE INVOLVED WITH POLITICS. WE ACCEPT THE PRIESTLY CONSACRATION TO PRAY FOR OUR PEOPLE AND TO TEACH THEM JESUS WITH HIS PRIESTLY MEANS TO WORK OUR SALVATION.

IF WE ARE GOOD TEACHERS OF CATECHISM, OUR FAITHFUL WILL LOOK AFTER THE POLITICS.                                                                                                                    
 

May the good Lord bless you with the fullness of his Eternal Love during the fruitful and historical time of Advent to understand Jesus’ warning not to follow preachers outside the path of salvation. The professor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHRIST KING OF THE UNIVERSE

THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING WAS ESTABLISHED BY POPE PIUS XI IN 1925.  

1)-THE HOLY FATHER SAW THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD IN THE CLAWS OF A POWERFUL ENEMY CALLED SECULARISM.  WITH MEN’S HATRED FOR GOD, CONCEQUENCES OF THE ORIGINAL SIN IN US, MAN WANTED TO ELIMINATE  THE SACRED AND THE GODLY FROM ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIVES.

2)-TO COMBAT THE POWERFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY WAVES OF  SECULARISM IN THE WORLD, RIGHTLY AND ADROITLY,  THE HOLY FATHER TURNED THE WORLD’S ATTENTION TO CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH.  THROUGH HIS PASSION AND SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS, CHRIST EARNED THE SACRED TITLE TO BE OUR KING.  WE ARE HIS SUBJECTS WHICH HE BOUGHT AT THE PRICE OF HIS OWN BLOOD, May we read St Peter, (1Pet 1:17-22):

^“ Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. ¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. ²⁰ He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. ²¹ Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

²² Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.^{[a] 23} For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”

 3)-TODAY, OUR HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI CALLS ON US TO CELEBRATE  THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING WITH DEVOTION AND MEANINGFULNESS.  CHRIST IS OFFERING US HIS  POWERFUL PRIRESTLY MEANS TO  COMBAT  SECULARISM AND RELATIVISM, THESE POWERFUL  WAVES SWEEPING  PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFVES NOT ONLY  IN THE WOLD BUT SPECIALLY IN THE CHURCH.  SECULARISM AND RELATIVISM  LEAVE GOD OUT OF MAN'S THINKING AND LIVING, TO ORGANIZE MAN’S LIFE AS IF GOD DID NOT EXIST. WE FIND LAWS AGAINST GOD AND HIS CHURCH IN ALMOST ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD.  WE ARE WITNESSING EVIL EVEN SATANIC PERSECUTIONS AGAINST CHRISTIANS MORE THAN IN THE DAYS OF THE PAGAN  ROME.

4)-PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE NOW AGREED WITH THE BIBLE.  THEY NOW TEACH WE ARE BORN WITH THE ORIGINAL SIN, AS THEY DECLARED ON “60 MINUTES” CBS PROGRAM NOVEMBER 18, 2012.  WE ARE BORN ENEMIES OF GOD WITH VERY DEEP INCLINATIONS TO EVIL.  ALSO WITH VERY DEEP ASPIRATIONS FOR THE INFINITE.  PSYCHOLOGISTS HELPING TO GIVE A NEW ORIENTATION TO GOD, THE WORLD IS BOUND TO TURN TO GOD NOT AS AN ENEMY BUT A FRIENDLY CREATOR AND REDEEMER. PSYCHOLOGISTS WILL GIVE A GREAT BOOST TO OUR BISHOPS TO COME BACK TO THE CHURCH´S TEACHINGS. IMMEDIATELY THEY ARE TO TEACH THE ORIGINAL SIN IN THE DIOCESAN CATECHISMS.

5)-THE FEAST OF CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE,  IS INTENDED TO PROCLAIM, IN A STRIKING AND EFFECTIVE MANNER, CHRIST'S ROYALTY OVER INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, SOCIETY, GOVERNMENTS, AND NATIONS.

6)-THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING IS TO BE CELEBRATED FIRST AND FOREMOST AS A RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT TO JESUS HIMSELF, OUR REDEEMER.  FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE WITH THEIR PRIESTS IN THE HOLY SACRIFICES OF THE MASS.  TODAY’S LITURGY IS ALL ORIENTED TO TEACH CHRIST’S ROYALTY OVER MEN.

7)-FIRST OF ALL, CHRIST IS GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE AND HENCE WIELDS A SUPREME POWER OVER ALL THINGS, as we read in Colossians 1:16:

“For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.”

8) CHRIST IS OUR REDEEMER, HE PURCHASED US BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD, AND MADE US HIS PROPERTY AND POSSESSION.  May we read  1Pet 1:18-19:

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”

9)-SINCE CHRIST IS HEAD OF THE CHURCH, "HOLDING IN ALL THINGS THE PRIMACY", THE CHURCH MUST COVER HIS ENTIRE KINGDOM, OFFERING HIS MEANS OF SALVATION TO ALL.  THUS, THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST IS  SUPREME, EXTENDING NOT ONLY TO ALL PEOPLE BUT ALSO TO THEIR PRINCES AND KINGS. May we read Col 1:18

“And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.”

10)- CHRIST’S KINGDOM IS UNIVERSAL, EXTENDING TO ALL NATIONS AND TO ALL PLACES; GOD BESTOWED UPON CHRIST THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD AS HIS SPECIAL POSSESSION AND DOMINION.  May we read in Mt 28:18:

“Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”.

11)- CHRIST’S KINGDOM IS SPIRITUAL,

CHRIST'S "KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD". May we read in  Jn 18:36:

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”

12)-CHIRST’S KINGDOM IS TO LAST UNTILL CHRIST HAS DESTROYED ALL HIS ENEMIES,  May we read in 1Cor 15:24:

“Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.”

13)-JESUS CHRIST IS THE FULLNESS OF SANTIFY; HE IS OUR MODEL TO FOLLOW.

MAY WE LEARN TO KNOW OUR BELOVED JESUS WHOM THE WORLD HATES.  WE  MEET JESUS, THROUGH MEDITATION ON THE GOSPELS, AND FROM HIM THROUGH INTIMATE CONVERSATION IN PRAYER.  

14)-AS ST JOHN DESCRIBES OUR ASPIRATIONS TO THE INFINITE, WE STRIVE TO BECOME LIKE JESUS, AS THE APOSTLE JOHN REVEALS TO US.  May we read 1Jn 3:2:

^“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

15)-CHRIST OUR KING  IS WHAT WE HOPE TO BECOME. IN THE DEGREE THAT WE STRIVE TO BECOME LIKE HIM, WE TOO (IN SOME MEASURE) CAN TELL OTHERS, AS ST. PAUL TOLD HIS CONTEMPORARIES,

“BE IMITATORS OF ME AS I AM OF CHRIST.” (1Cor 11:1)

May the good Lord bless you with the abundance of His Eternal Love on this great feast of CHRIST THE KING.  The professor.

 

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Historically, Thanksgiving had roots in religious and cultural tradition. Today, however, Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated as a secular holiday. 

May we return to the original THANKSGIVING where our forefathers celebrated God in their lives.  They gave thanks to God for the abundance of his Love giving us our food, our health and our spirituality.

Today with the Obama government, God is disappearing from our land, and somewhat around the world because of the USA influence around the world.   President Obama surrounded himself with Catholics who  left the Catholic Faith.  Obama’s catholics are cafeteria life-style Catholics who left the Church without ever thinking about it.  They are following the culture deadly against God.  So many bishops and priests voted for Obama because, they say, of his option for the poor.  However, they forget that he is killing the poorest of the poor: the unborn.

On this THANKSGIVING DAY, may we remind our christian mothers, who want to kill their child in their womb,  to listen to the plea of their little ones:

“Mamie, if you want to kill me, wait for my baptism.  Baptized, I will be in heaven for eternity and I will pray for you, Mamie.  I love you very much.”  Your aborted son! Daughter!   The professor.

 

SIN IS AN OBSTACLE AND PRECLUDES  ETERNAL LIFE.   SIN DOES NOT CO-EXIST WITH GOD, BECAUSE SIN DESTROYS THE LIFE OF GOD IN US.  SIN DOES NOT CO-EXIST WITH GOD, BECAUSE SIN DESTROYS THE LIFE OF GOD IN US.

1)-THE WHOLE OF DIVINE REVELATION TEACHES US ABOUT THE MORAL DISASTER COMMITTED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.  

SAINT PAUL, IN HIS LETTER TO THE ROMANS, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 12, REVEALS TO US 2 SINS COMMITTED IN THE FIRST MOMENT OF CREATION.  May we read St Paul in Rom 5:12-14: Death in Adam, Life in Christ
 

^“12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men^[a] because all sinned— ¹³ for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. ¹⁴ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.”

2)-FIRST, ST PAUL REVEALS TO US THAT THE SIN OF ADAM, IS A PERSONAL SIN, A PERSONAL TRANSGRSSION ADAM COMMITTED REFUSING TO WORSHIP GOD.   THIS ADAM SIN IS A MORTAL SIN BECAUSE IT CAUSES DEATH IN ADAM’S AND EVE’S SOULS.  OUR FIRST PARENTS LOST THE LIFE OF GOD, THE SANTIFYING GRACE IN THEM.  THEY WERE SAINTS BEFORE THEIR SIN.  NOW THE HAVE BECOME ENEMIES OF GOD; THEY ACCEPTED TO WORSHIP SATAN.   

3)-SECONDLY, SAINT PAUL REVEALS ANOTHER SIN. 

But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam…”

THEREFOR, SIN IN ADAM’S DESCENDANTS DOES NOT CONSIST IN A PERSONAL TRANSGRESSION IN EACH ONE OF US.  IT IS A  REAL SIN, HOWEVER,  AND PERSONAL TO EACH ONE OF US,  AS DECLARED BY THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.  POPE PIUS XII REAFFIRMED THE TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH, ON THE ORIGINAL SIN IN EACH ONE OF US, IN HIS ENCYCLICAL “HUMANAE GENERIS.”   

4)-JOHN PAUL  II, IN HIS APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION, “CATECHESI TRADENDAE”  OBLIGES BISHOPS AND PRIESTS NEVER TO EMPTY THE SACRED TEXTS;  THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONTENT MUST ALWAYS BE RESPECTED AND TOTALLY TAUGHT.  May we reed CATECHESI TRADENDAE # 30:

“With regard to the content of catechesis, three important points deserve special attention today.

The first point concerns the integrity of the content. In order that the sacrificial offering of his or her faith(75) should be perfect, the person who becomes a disciple of Christ has the right to receive "the word of faith"(76) not in mutilated, falsified or diminished form but whole and entire, in all its rigor and vigor. Unfaithfulness on some point to the integrity of the message means a dangerous weakening of catechesis and putting at risk the results that Christ and the ecclesial community have a right to expect from it.

5)-THE ORIGINAL SIN AND ITS DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES IN US  CONSTITUES AN INTEGRAL PART OF  THE DEPOSIT OF THE FAITH .  TO DEPRIVE THE FAITHFUL FROM SUCH AN IMPORTANT DOCTRINE IS A MORTAL SIN, AS THE POPE SAYS:

“Unfaithfulness on some point to the integrity of the message means a dangerous weakening of catechesis and putting at risk the results that Christ and the ecclesial community have a right to expect from it.”

6)-“IF WE DO NOT TEACH SIN, NOBODY WILL SIN.”

THIS VERY ABSURD  AND FALSE DOCTRINE IS BEING TAUGHT TO OUR CLERGY.  I PERSONALLY MET WITH A BISHOP WHO ACCEPTED AS TRUE THIS VERY FALSE AND ABSURD DOCTRINE.  AND WITH SADNESS, WE MEET BISHOPS AND PRIESTS FAVORING DIMINISHING AND OFTEN ECLIPSING ALTOGETHER  THE HORRORS OF SIN.  CARDINAL SANDOVAL OF GUADALAJARRA, MEXICO, ELIMINATES SINS AS OFFENSING GOD.  IN HIS CATECHISM, GOD IS NEAR US,  THE CARDINAL TEACHES THAT SIN JUST SAYS “NO” TO GOD.  HOW SHAMEFUL IT IS FOR A PRIEST TO BETRAY THE TRUST OF HIS FAITHFUL WITH DECEITFUL TEACHINGS  LEADING SO MANY TO LOSING ETERNAL LIFE, BECAUSE OF BEING UNAWARE THAT THEY INCURE CONDEMNATION. 

7)-MODERN PSYCHOLOGY DENIES SIN IN ALL ITS FORMS, BECAUSE SIN BELONGS TO THE SUPERNATURAL.  MODERN PSYCHOLOGY, BY ITS OWN LAWS, IS ATHEIST.  SIN DOES NOT EXIST.  THUS MODERN PSYCHOLOGY APPEALS SO MUCH ESPECIALLY TO THE CLERGY.

8)-THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS IN THE WILD CLAWS OF  THE HUMANISTIC PSYCOTHERAPIST TO EDUCATE AND TO FORM THE FAITHFUL INTO EGOISM AND EGOTISM.

MASLOW, WITH HIS HUMANISTIC PSICOTHERAPY CALLED “GELSTAT,” TEACHES THE AUTORIALIZATION CAN BE REALIZED IN THE INDIVIDUAL.  THIS POPULAR SO-CALLED CURATIVE THERAPY, WHICH PRETENDS TO RECUPERATE THE DEFINITIVE SUPPORT, THE SECURITY, THE TRUST, THE INTEREST AND LOVE OF ONESELF  IN THE INDIVIDUAL.  THUS,  THE INDIVIDUAL BECOMES THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.  THE PERFECT EGOIST IS BORN.  WE HAVE BISHOPS WITH DIPLOMAS IN MASLOW’S  GELSTAT.

9)-THE DENIAL OF SIN LEADS TO LIVES LIVED IN MORTAL SIN, BEING UNAWARE THAT THEY INCURE CONDEMNATION.  THUS, A PERSON LIVES IN STATE OF MORTAL SIN WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT.

10)-POPE BENEDICT XVI TEACHES THAT JUDAS LIVED IN STATE OF MORTAL SIN, WHILE BEING UNAWARE THAT HE INCURED CONDEMNATION.     THE HOLY FATHER ARGUES THAT JUDAS DID NOT WANT TO BETRAY JESUS.  THE POPE ADDS  JUDAS ONLY WANTED MONEY, LOST OF MONEY! AND THE PRIESTS OF THE TEMPLE PAID A HUGE SUM TO FINALLY STOP JESUS FROM ATTACKING THEIR LIFESTYLE.  THE POPE ALSO SAYS THAT JUDAS WAS ALSO SEEKING TO SATISFY HIS LECHERY. (Benedicto xvi, DIOS ESTA CERCA DE NOSOTROS, p.37)   

11)-ALSO PERSONS LIVING IN ADULTERY, OR PERSONS WHO NEVER WORSHIP GOD ON SUNDAY, THE DAY OF THE LORD,  LIVE IN THE STATE OF MORTAL SIN UNAWARE THAT THEY INCURE CONDEMNATION.  DOING WHAT GOD PROHIBITS IN GRAVE MATTER IS ALWAYS A GRAVE OFFENSE TO GOD. THEREFOR,  OUR KNOWING SIN HAS A PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE FOR US; IT HELPS US TO AVOID IT IN OUR JOURNEY TO HEAVEN.  TO DIMINISH THE HORROS OF SIN IS A DEPRAVATION OF THE SOUL. 

12)-THEREFOR,  TO KNOW SIN,  WHEN AND HOW IT IS COMMITTED,  IS PARAMOUNT FOR EACH ONE OF US, SINCE WE ARE RESPONSIBLE EVEN WHEN WE ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT COMMITTING THE SIN.  JUDAS WAS NOT THINKING ABOUT COMMITTING A VERY GRAVE SIN; HE ONLY THOUGHT TO MAKE MONEY AND SATISFY HIS SEX DRIVE. 

13)-TO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN HAS BEEN A CONSTANT FORCE IN THEOLOGIANS AND CATECHISTAS DOWN TRHOUGH CENTURIES.  WHEN SATAN CONQUERES SOMEONE TO DENY SIN, ESPECIALLY THE ORIGINAL SIN, HE HAS ORIENTED THAT PERSON ON THE PATH TO PERDITION.  MAY WE PRAY FOR OUR BISHOPS IN THE CLAWS OF SATAN.  WE NEED OUR BISHOPS SUBMITTED TO THE HOLY FATHER.  HOWEVER, THEY ALSO NEED OUR PRAYERS TO FIGHT WITH SUCCESS THE UPHILL BATTLE AGAINST THEIR PRIDE.

May God bless you all with his Eternal Love with your eagerness to study and to know THE WORD OF GOD with the man holding the keys of heaven.  The professor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE SIN OF OUR FIRST PARENTS  BECOMES OUR INHERITANCE TOGETHER WITH ITS DESASTROUS  CONCUPISCENCE WHICH IS THIS CONSTANT INCLINATION TO COMMIT SIN.  HERE JUAN PABLO II TEACHES US IN “DOMINUM ET VIVIFICANTEM” #35:  SIN BELONGS TO THE SUPERNATURAL SINCE IT IS AN OFFENSE TO GOD.  WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND SIN ON THE HUMAN LEVEL.  THIS IS WHY RELATIVISM IS SUCH A TERRIBLE HERESY WHICH PENETRATED OUR CATHOLIC CLERY.  Leemos Juan Pablo II:

“The Spirit, therefore, who "searches everything, even the depths of God," knows from the beginning "the secrets of man."¹³³ For this reason he alone can fully "convince concerning the sin" that happened at the beginning, that sin which is the root of all other sins and the source of man's sinfulness on earth, a source which never ceases to be active. The Spirit of truth knows the original reality of the sin caused in the will of man by the "father of lies," he who already "has been judged."…   Only the Holy Spirit can convince concerning the sin of the human beginning, precisely he who is the love of the Father and of the Son, he who is gift, whereas the sin of the human beginning consists in untruthfulness and in the rejection of the gift and the love which determine the beginning of the world and of man.”

1)-GOD THE FATHER, WITH MUCH PAIN AND SADNESS, HAD TO BANISH  AWAY FROM HIS PRESENCE OUR FIRST PARENTS, BECAUSE  THEY SUBMITED THEMSELVES TO SATAN.   THEY CALLED GOD A LIAR AND WORSHIP SATAN.  GOD CREATED OUR FIRST PARENTS IN HIS IMAGE AND IN HIS LIKENESS.  HE ELEVATED THEM TO SHARE IN HIS DIVINE LIFE WITH THE GIFT OF SANTIFYING GRACE.  ALSO HE ORNATED THEM WITH THE 4 PRETERNATURAL GIFTS, MAKING THEM IMMUNE TO IGNORANCE, IMMUNE TO SICKNESSES, IMMUNE TO CORRUPTION OF THEIR BODIES AND SOULS, AND FINALLY IMMUNE TO DEATH.  OUR FIRST PARENTS GRAVELY OFFENDED GOD; THEIR OFFENSE REACHED RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF THE BLESSED TRINITY.

2)-THE SIN OF RELATIVISM IN OUR BISHOPS AND PRIESTS DESTROYS THE ROAD TO SALVATION.  BISHOPS AND PRIESTS, UNDER THE PRETEXT OF NO TROUBLING PEOPLE WITH THE HORROR OF SIN, ARE ASKING US TO SOFTEN OUR TEACHING ON SIN THE ORIGINAL SIN, AND SIN IN GENERAL.  CARDINAL SANDOVAL OF GUADALAJARRA, HIS CATECHISM TEACHES THAT “SIN IS JUST TO SAY NO TO GOD.”  WHAT A SHAME FOR A PRINCE OF THE CHURCH TO DIMISH THE HORROR OF SIN TO CORRUPT SO MANY SOULS WHO WILL NEVER ENJOY THE GLORY OF GOD.

3)-BENEDICT XVI TEACHES TO SIN ONE DOES NOT NEED TO WILL SINNING.  TO SIN, ONE ONLY NEEDS TO  COMMIT AN ACTION, A THOUGHT OR A DESIRE THAT GOD PROHIBITS.  TO COMMIT A MORTAL SIN HOWERVER, A PERSON MUST REALIZE 3 CONDITIONS;  FIRST,  THE MATTER OF THE SIN MUST BE GRAVE.  SECONDLY, THERE MUST BE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE.  THIRDLY, THERE MUST BE A FULL  CONSENT OF THE WILL.  FOR EXEMPLE, A PERSON WANTS THIS BICYCLE WHICH DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM OR TO HER.  THE BICYCLE IS A GRAVE MATTER FOR BICYCLES COST HUNDRED OF DOLLARS.  THE PERSON HAS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF  WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.  AND THE PERSON DOES  IT WITH A  FULL  CONSENT OF THE WILL.  THIS THEFT IS A MORTAL SIN THAT MERITS DAMNATION  WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT.    BENEDICT XVI TEACHES THAT ONE PUTS ITSELF IN THE GRAVE PERIL OF DAMNATION WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT, BECAUSE A MORTAL SIN HAS BEEN COMMITTED.

ALSO TO WORSHIP GOD ON SUNDAYS, THE DAY OF THE LORD, IS A GRAVE DISOBEDIENCE TO THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.  WE REFUSE TO WORSHIP GOD BECAUSE WE FOLLOW THE CULTURE OF THE TIME.  WE DO NOT THINK COMMITTING A MORTAL SIN; HOWEVER, WE REFUSE TO WORSHIP GOD WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT.  WE COMMIT A MORTAL SIN.  THE HOLY FATHER GIVES US THE EXEMPLE OF JUDAS, HOW JUDAS PUT HIMSELF IN HELL WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT.

4)-THE DISOBEDIENCE IN GRAVE MATTER OF OUR BISHOPS, PRIESTS AND LAITY TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE PRIESTLY CHURCH OF CHRIST PUTS IN THE GRAVE PERIL TO LOSE THE ETERNAL LIFE WITHOUT TAKING IT INTO ACCOUNT.  TO DENY DOGMAS OF FAITH IS A VERY GRAVE SIN SPECIALLY ON THE PART OF OUR BISHOPS AND PRIESTS SINCE THEY ARE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM THE CHURCH.  THEIR DISOBEDIENCE IS REALIZED IN THEIR QUEST TO LIBERATE THEMSELVES FROM THE AUTHORITY OF GOD IN OUR SALVATION.

5)-MODERN PSYCHOLOGY OR ANY OTHER HUMAN WAY TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE CANNOT FIND THE REASON FOR THE SOURCE OF EVIL IN MEN AND IN THE WORLD.   DISOBEYING IS THE WILL OF  MAN AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD.  ASI PUES, EL PECADO ORIGINAL IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL IN THE WORLD.  JOHN PAUL II TEACHES in #33:

 “This is the dimension of sin that we find in the witness concerning the beginning, commented on in the Book of Genesis.¹²⁵ It is the sin that according to the revealed Word of God constitutes the principle and root of all the others. We find ourselves faced with the original reality of sin in human history and at the same time in the whole of the economy of salvation. It can be said that in this sin the "mysterium iniquitatis" has its beginning,

According to the witness concerning the beginning, sin in its original reality takes place in man's will-and conscience-first of all as "disobedience," that is, as opposition of the will of man to the will of God. This original disobedience presupposes a rejection, or at least a turning away from the truth contained in the Word of God, who creates the world.

6)-ADAM AND EVE MET THEIR DOWNFALL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.  GOD SUBMITTED OUR FIRST PARENTS TO ONE TEST:  TO WORSHIP HIM AND TO RENDER HIM HIS THE HOMAGE DUE TO HIS SOVEREIGNTY.   IF THEY PASS THE TEST WITH FLYING COLORS, WITHOUT DYING THEY WERE TO BE UNITED WITH GOD IN THE GLORY OF THE BEATIFIC VISION OF THE BLESSED TRINITY. 

WE WERE, THEIR DESCENDENTS, TO INHERIT THE PROMISE GOD MADE TO OUR FIRST PARENTS.  GOD CREATED US TO LIVE.  DEATH WAS NOT IN GOD’S PLAN FOR US. (Gen. 2:16-17).  

7)-OUR SALVATION NOW IS TOTALY IN THE CROSS OF OUR REDEEMER.  THIS FIRST SIN OF OUR FIRST PARENTS CHANGED FOREVER THE RELATIONSHIP GOD HAS WITH THE HUMAN RACE.  IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, OUR FIRST PARENTS HAD ONE COMMANDMENT TO FULFILL: TO WORSHIP GOD AND ONLY TO GOD TO RENDER HIM HOMAGE TO HIS SOVEREIGNTY.  THE FIRST SIN OF OUR FIRST PARENTS CHANGED THE WORLD.  GOD CAME BACK TO US WITH 10 COMMANDMENTS.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HUMANS TO FULFILL ON THEIR OWN ANY OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.  GOD IS OFFERING US A NEW ECONOMY OF SALVATION TOTALLY NEW.  THE REDEEMER, PROMISED IN Genesis 3:15, OFFERS US SALVATION TOTALLY CENTERED ON HIS CROSS.  WITH JESUS PRIESTLY HELP, WE HAVE HOPE IN WORKING OUR SALVATION.  THUS, JESUS REVEALS IN  (Jn 6:65):

“and he said, for this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”

 JOHN PAUL II IN #35:

“The Holy Spirit therefore convinces the world of sin in connection with this "judgment," but by constantly guiding toward the "righteousness" that has been revealed to man together with the Cross of Christ: through "obedience unto death."¹³⁵

8)-TO FOLLOW JESUS IS SUPERNATURAL. WE KNOW THAT JESUS ENTRUSTED TO SAINT PETER TO GUIDE US IN THE TREACHEROUS PATH OF FAITH.  WE DO NOT HAVE MANY GUIDES ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN.  ONLY ONE!  ONLY PETER AND HIS SUCCESSSOS RECEIVED FROM JESUS HIMSELF THE KEYS TO HEAVEN.

BISHOPS, WHO DENY,  OPENLY OR TACITLY,  DOGMAS OF FAITH, THINKING THAT SUCH DOCTRINES BELONG TO THE PAST, HAVE ABANDONED PETER IN THE CHURCH.  THEY DO NOT BELONG TO THE PRIESTLY CHURCH OF CHRIST.  WHEN WE WANT JESUS, WE OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS, AS HE REVEALS TO US IN   John 14:15,

 “if you love me, you shall obey my commandments.”

9)-SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ADAM AND EVE, WE ARE BORN WITH A CORRUPT HUMAN NATURE.  WE ARE BORN WITH A CONCUPISCENCE WHICH ALWAYS INCLINES US TO COMMIT EVIL.  OUR REDEEMER OFFERS US HIS PRIESTLY MEANS TO WORK OUR SALVATION. 

10)-BENEDICT XVI TEACHES US THAT “GOD WANTS ALL TO BE SAVED.  HOWEVER, OUR FREEDOM TO REFUSE SETS A LIMIT TO SALVATION.”  WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO ACCEPT JESUS’ PRIESTLY MEANS TO WORK OUR SALVATION.  WE MAY ALSO USE OUR FREEDOM TO REFUSE JESUS’ PRIESTLY MEANS TO WORK OUR SALVATION.

11)-WE CANNOT ALONE FIGHT THIS BATTLE AGAINST OUR CONCUPISCENCE, THE CORRUPT WORLD and SATAN.  ALSO OUR INSPIRATIONS TO THE INFINITE WILL NOT GUIDE US IN THIS ARDOUS FIGHT FOR THE PALM OF VICTORY.   ONLY JESUS REVEALING TO  US HIS PRIESTLY POWERS  IS OUR HOPE TO ATTAIN OUR HEAVENLY GOAL.   JESUS ENTRUSTED THE KEYS OF HEAVEN TOGETHER WITH HIS PRIESTLY POWERS TO PETER. HE GIVES PETER THE MISSION TO GUIDE US IN THE TREACHERY ROAD OF FAITH.  HE GIVES PETER THE PROMISE OF INFALLIBILITY WHEN HE TEACHES US THE FAITH. 

   12)-OUR SALVATION IS WORTH A  CONSTANT AND PERMANENT FIGHT AGAINST OUR CONCUPISCENCE, THE WORLD AND SATAN TO OBTAIN THE REWARD OF THE BEATIFIC VISION IN THE GLORY OF THE BLESSED TRINITY FOREVER.  TO CARRY ON THE FIGHT HAND IN HAND WITH OUR REDEEMER IS A JOY TO EACH PILGRIM IN FAITH.  WE KNOW WE ARE HAND IN HAND WITH OUR REDEEMER IN OUR STRUGLES WHEN WE OBEY THE MAN TO WHOM JESUS ENTRUSTS THE KEYS TO HEAVEN.

May the good Lord bless you with the abundance of His Love preparing us to celebrate Advent with the last Prophet sent to us by God.  The professor.
