New Year's Morning: Many Catholics Back on Their Way to Hell
Jan 1 is the feast of "The Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God." It is a "holy day of obligation," meaning Catholics who missed Mass on Jan 1 have committed a mortal sin, therefore losing their salvation and are now back on their way to hell......again.
This is certainly bad news for all those Catholics who pounded too many drinks, partied too hard, or stayed up too late on New Year's Eve. If Catholic theology is correct, they better hope they don't die before getting to confession and eating some wafers!
As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says:
Para 2180: "The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: On Sundays and other holy days of obligation (emphasis mine) the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass."
Para 2181: "Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin."
Whenever Rome uses the word "grave" - it means mortal sin. Para 1857: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave (emphasis mine) matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."
The result of mortal sin? A loss of salvation. Para 1861: "It (mortal sin) causes exclusion from Christ's kingdom and the eternal death of hell."
However, Catholic theology is not correct. This whole "mortal sin" thing is nothing but a wicked invention of man to get people coming back to the Catholic Church for cheap salvation - kneel before the priest in confession, eat a wafer, and then one is supposedly okay with God again. Rubbish!
When Christ truly saves a person, He saves permanently. He said in John 10:28: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."
Paul preached in Acts 13:38b-39a: "Through this Man (Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins; And by Him all that believe are justified from all things."
Thank God for the blessed truth of the bible!! Those trusting in Christ ALONE "shall never perish," and are "justified from all things," not just some things.
Question - How can a Catholic take hold of these promises? Answer - By confessing Catholicism as sin, forsaking the Roman Church forever, and trusting in Christ ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins - NO Catholic priesthood and Catholic Church needed!
Please pray daily for Catholic conversions, as only Christ has the power to free someone from the clutches of Rome.
