There was a news report on Filipino refugees in Lebanon who were rescued from their homes after they texted for help. It was also reported that some returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who could not face reporters or the cameras were able narrate their ordeal through texting. What do these reports tell us?

This chapter must begin by defining the word “saint.” Catholicism teaches that a saint is one of a select few who, because of good works while alive, is declared a saint after death:

“By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God’s grace, the Church recognizes the power of
the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by
proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors.” Pg. 219, #828

According to Scripture, however, anyone who is born again by faith in Christ is a saint. Paul wrote to all the saints (Christians) in Rome:

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace
from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7  

Why this doctrine?

In short, the scenario goes like this. Catholicism discarded the scriptural definition of a “saint” and
devised a new one, then instructed members to pray to these unscriptural “saints.”

The question is, why pray to anyone else when the God of the universe is in heaven waiting to hear and answer prayers?

Are “saints” intercessors….? 

Catholicism teaches that after death, some people are sent to a place called purgatory for further purification before entering heaven:

“All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to
achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. ” Pg. 2658,
#1030

Did this critical doctrine come from God, or is it another tradition of men? Here’ s your answer, right out of the Catechism:
 

“The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of
Florence and Trent.” Pg. 268-269, #1031 

 Would an honest, loving God offer you eternal life as a free gift - then make you suffer to earn it - then lie about it in His Word?  

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God:” Ephesians 2:8

If the Bible is so clear on this subject, why did the Catholic church institute a doctrine that has persuaded faithful members to give multiplied millions of dollars to the church to have
prayers and Masses said on behalf of departed loved ones? You must answer that
for yourself.

Now, at least you know that the doctrine of purgatory was hatched from the minds of mortal men

Please continue reading …

these days, i’ve been feeling that joe has slowed down quite a bit after our night out last wednesday. with no car, and a new place, and kids he doesn’t want to leave alone yet, joe and i have spent less and less phone and date time together. i don’t know if it’s because he realized that he finally told me that he can’t give me a commitment right now because of everything that’s going on…but whatever it is, i’m starting to feel a little insecure about the situation, even if people tell me that i’m just paranoid.
