Jesus says:
"The shepherd, if he is not a madman, lives in the midst of his flock; he calls it and gathers it together; he tirelessly goes back and forth along its extent; he precedes it at difficult junctures and is the first to exmanine obstacles, leveling them as much as possible; he makes rough ways safe by his efforts and then remains at the troublesome spot to oversee the passing of his sheep, and if he observes that one of them is fearful or weak, he takes it on his shoulders and carries it beyond the point of danger; and if a wolf comes, he does not run away, but hurls himself against it, in front of his sheep, and defends them, even at the price of dying to save them. He immolates himself for them to satisfy the beast's hunger so that it will no longer feel the need to tear anyone to pieces. How many beasts attacking souls there are! The shepherd does not waste time on useless chatter with passers-by and does not get distracted with matters which are not his concern. He takes care of his flock, and that's all.
"Now observe. Doesn't it seem we are reading the eigth chapter of Ezekiel?
"The first idol: jealousy.
"You should be charity, shouldn't you? Charity to lead others to charity. What are you? Jealous of each other. You get offended if a layman criticizes you. But don't you criticize each other, and often unjustly? The superior criticizes his inferiors. The inferior criticizes his superiors. You are jealous if one of you attracts attention, if one of you is more successful, if one of you becomes wealthier. Furthermore, this aspect, which ought to cause horror, is, on the contrary, what you most covet. But was I, the eternal Priest wealthy? Be perfect, and you will be noted and praised, though the praise of your God should be your only spur.
"The second idol--rather, many idols: the different heresies which in you take the place of the worship you should possess.
"Each of you as well, like the seventy elders named by Ezekiel, is incensing the idol he prefers. And you do so in the darkness, hoping the eyes of men will not see you. But they see you. And you scandalize them. For the faithful, and men in general, are like the children who seem not to observe, but who never cease to keep their eyes and ears set upon those who are their elders.
"Why, don't you know that, even if man does not see, God sees you? And why, then, do you cast your incense before the power of gold or the power of man? From the height of my throne, don't I see too many of my priests devoting their time--(the time I give them so they will spend it on their priestly misson)--on human commerce aimed at increasing their well-being? Yes, I see this. Don't I observe--(and my heart turns)--too many of my priests abjuring my Law to obey the law of wretched men, hoping to receive honor and gain from them? Yes, I see this.
"Oh, the politicain priests! The current members of the Synedrium! Let them remember, however, what the lot of the Synedrium was at the hands of those at whose feet they had prostrated their consciences and violated my Law. And I will say no more. This is for the affairs of men. The rest will come afterwards from the eternal, just Judge.
"The third idol: sensuality.
"Yes,there is this, too. And I will say no more out of respect for my 'spokesman.' But let each examine himself to see if in the place where the only female creatures to be remembered licitly with love by a priest are my Mother and their mothers there is not a pagan goddess. Consider that you touch Me and receive Me. And that's all. Do not place the Most Pure One in contact with flesh stained by lust.
"The fourth idol: the adoration of the east.
"Sects. Yes, this, too. And shouldn't I gaze at many of you with disdain and use the same apostrophes for many as I used for the Pharisees and doctors of my time? And shouldn't I raise up 'lights' among the lay people who love Me as many of you do not love Me, out of mercy on the souls you leave in the cold, in the dark, and in impurity, for the sake of the souls for whomyou are not a way to God, but a path leading downwards? And how do you dare to repeat my Word and preach my Laws when Word and Law are a condemnation for you? Let whoever is clean become cleaner and whoever is unclean be cleansed.
"Mankind stands at a major fork. Two roads branch off therefrom: one leads upwards to God; the other leads downwards to Satan. At the fork there is a rock. It is you. If you act as a bulwark and spur towards the first road, Satan will not burst forth, and souls will be propelled towards God. But if you are the first to roll towards Satan's slope, you will drag mankind towards the horrors of the Antichrist ahead of time.
"And if he must come, woe to those who hasten his coming and prolong it, for he will cease to be at the eternally pre-established hour, and the longer he remains, the more souls will be lost. Not one of them shall go unavenged--remember this. For, if your God sees the dying sparrow, how can He fail to see a dying soul? I will call those who slay it---whoever they are---to account and pronounce my sentence."

Priests, Time to wake Up and Smell the Sulphur
by Poem on Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:22 am
Jesus is the Eternal Judge.
We have read the Description of Hell from Jesus.
We have read much about rewards.
For God rewards equally and justly.
Hell is the place of torture and hate. But for every evil deed done, that is wicked and malicious, there is a just reward. God is just. God is justice. Lets not ask for the reward of Evil. You don't want to know it. But for you unwise, if God gives pearls, and beautiful stones to those who worked for Good, the opposite applies for those who worked iniquity. The description of Hell is the atmosphere, Jesus did not mention, the rewards or merits for each evil Deed, He mentioned that a specter is there for the sin that each committed. Not per deed. Well, I think in terms of hell, the amount of each of the tortures increases per iniquity. Maybe a hot roasting pearl with the iniquity moaning or something like this constantly moaning to add to the other horrors.
Which you cannot not do anything with. It sits there in front of you or maybe it is adorned on you?
But, nevertheless it is valueless as everything in this present world is valueless. Only thing of value which is truly priceless is Eternal Life. Everything thing else perishes with its using. You use it, it perishes. The things which God created, the earth, and all that is therein, is designed for temporary use. To get us to Heaven. A forestaste, rudimentary things. To teach us how to love. Thus Evil, presented itself and lured men from obtaining heaven. And then twisted everything around so that, the earth became a thing to possess instead of being a transient thing. To possess Heaven, is what the truth is. The earth is temporary.
The Liar worked the lie so well, that, man is allured to earthly things. He lost the sight of Heaven wherein lies the True Riches. This life is meant as testing ground. For our souls, for us to learn, about true responsibility, to be charitable, to live in love of God and Neighbor. To give from ones soul. To worship the unstained Image of God in each other, giving the True God adoration, honor, glory and all our love and contrition.
Unstained Image of God in one another. This is what angels do. They worship, God in our souls. They do not worship the creature. This would then be idolatry if they worshipped the creature, which is what Lucifer did. Worship the creature. By refusing to follow God, Lucifer became a victim of what he hated to do. Worship God in a creature. Lucifer thus, not knowingly did this. Pride causes one to not see clearly. Fumes, he still lives in pride, thus all who imitate Lucifer worship the creature and not the Creator.
When we read, the Old Testament, concerning the Ark of the Testament, wherein God descended and hovered on the Mercy Seat, this is God explaining to us that our Souls were created for God to descend and be with Us. To come to us and be with us. Because God is a Spirit. God is not a material being. This is how God prefers to come to us. He comes to us in His full presence. Full in a tiny way. It is God.
Jesus Christ, came as the New Adam to absolve the sinner Adam, to replace in a matter of speaking, the oldness which is sin with newness which is Grace. Therein to restore man back to Grace.
In the Church, the One Holy Apostolic Roman Catholic Church lies the greatest gift to mankind. The Sacraments, which restores man to Grace in purity and chastitiy. One must be purer than a lily. One must
keep vigilance and protect with his own life this Gift no matter what. That is to not allow any occasion for the Liar to place his vice in you so you sin. Place his vice in you. He comes at you with all kinds of allurements. Many do not know, what they are. He is truly cunning, crafty and clever. But, Let me put it to you like this, I have learned of the many ways he does. Why? I asked the question myself. To teach others what the Liar does and how many ways he puts the bait tied to the pole to fish you out of Heaven's way. To take you off the path to Heaven. He comes in shining light! Oh, how mesmerizing it is, it truly stuns you! You are stunned. Here's a simple example: When you stand in front of a camera, and a flash is used, the flash stuns your sight. That is all it takes for the demon to plant his seed, through a thought into you.
This flash can be, picture, a place, a thing or just a thought. Once he flashes, you have to quickly rebuke it.
Or else you get corrupted. Once corruption is in you, he can then, do all kinds of nasty things.
The thing Jesus tells us to do is, to remain in Him, in purity and chastity, and continually renew the Love, through Sanctification, this then, creates a barrier against the attacks of Satan, who flashes at you.
Love is strongest. Always ask God to increase His love in you. Always.
Peace in the Holy Name of Jesus
