What am I Bid for "Jesus?"
About $2,000 at the St Andrew Roman Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan. This is according to an Oct 27 press release from the Archdiocese of Detroit titled, “Reward Offered for Return of Tabernacle and Contents.”
On Oct 24 the tabernacle and wafers inside were stolen from the church!
Like at any auction, St Andrews low-balled the initial bid. The article says:
“Initially, a reward of $500 was offered by the parish. That offer was supplemented by anonymous donors. The reward now stands at $2,000.”
Of the $2,000, the archdiocese did not say what the breakdown was between the cost of the tabernacle and the cost of “Jesus.”
My guess is that Rome values the tabernacle more because “Jesus” can be easily replaced at any time by a priest – all he has to do is find some wafers, say the magic words, and Voila! there’s more “Jesus.”
This is yet another example of the hellish notion that Jesus turns Himself into wafers at the command of a Roman priest. Only Rome could create a “god” that can be stolen and is subject to ransom!
In fact, the Christ of the bible is exactly the opposite of the “christ” of Rome. We do not ransom Him, He ransoms us! Matthew 20:28b says: “and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Please pray daily for Catholic conversions, that the Spirit of God convicts Catholics of the sin of Eucharist worship, grants them repentance from Rome forever, and blesses them with faith ALONE in Jesus Christ for the free and full forgiveness of sins, no wafers or Roman priests needed!
