16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (King James Bible)

The Kingdom of Heaven and
the Kingdom of God
This is a video explaining the essential differences between the Kingdom of Heaven (a literal, physical Kingdom) and the Kingdom of God (a spiritual, heavenly Kingdom)
'In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand' (Mat.3:2)
'Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the kingdom of God' (Mk.1:14)
'And the seventh angel sounded and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever (Rev.11:15)

I firmly believe in my heart that the author of this blog isn't really against the Catholic Church. He is against his mistaken understanding of the Catholic Church. If anyone who frequents this blog wants to know the truth about the Catholic Church, there are countless Catholic websites in existence that share what the Catholic Church really teaches. Don't seek knowledge of the Catholic Church from anti-Catholic websites and blogs like this one. Here is a good place to begin a journey towards the true teachings of the Catholic Church: http://www.catholic.com/
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
Really, Paul? Well, your are wrong!
DeleteLet me enlighten you:
The writer of this blog DESPISES the Roman Catholic Institution with all her heart! Her endeavor is to get to as many innocent Roman Catholics who have been fooled by this cult!
Indeed, it is a she who writes this blog (It is right here in my profile, but, as a Catholic, you don't know to look further than your nose!), one who was in the Roman Catholic CULT for 52 years, indoctrinated throughout by the never ending REVISED HISTORY produced by this LYING INSTITUTION!
THERE IS NO BETTER LEARNING ABOUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CULT THAN FROM ONE WHO'S BEEN THERE, AND THANKS ONLY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, HAS GOTTEN OUT!
Anyone wishing to learn about the EVIL, PURE EVIL this cultist religion has wrought need but read my post "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome
By CHARLES CHINIQUY", a former priest!
Or Peter de Rosa's, "Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy", also found here in my blog, a Vatican Historian who innocently found that this "church" is but a fraud!
There are many more such who, thankfully, came to know the truth of God's word after having spent dozens of years in the Roman Catholic institution, such as Richard Bennett!
It is not an question of being 'ANTI-CATHOLIC" but being for UNCOVERING THE TRUTH!
This PAGAN religion began by Constantine and has no connection with the apostles!
Read the Bible and you will not find ANYTHING related to the sick traditions of this institution!
See my post "Another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4) by Greg Miller" and you will see that as a Roman Catholic you worship not the REAL JESUS! Paul warns exactly about this very thing!
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (King James Bible)
You worship the FALSE Catholic Jesus and you will find that the REAL Jesus will say the following when it is He judges you:
22 Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:22-23 (King James Bible)
Wise up!! The time is short!
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
John 12:48 (King James Bible)

Richard Bennett has worked tirelessly to reach Roman Catholics to lovingly get them out of this controlling cultist institution!
