Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. And He [God] said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. Gen 4:8-10 Curse…the words “blood” and “cries” are plural in the original language. This plural wording has been recognized for many years but only barely elaborated such as: “The word “blood” in the Hebrew is plural, and the word “crieth” is in the plural agreeing with it.” “it is in the original, "the voice of thy brother's bloods" (s), in the plural; which the Jews generally understood of the posterity that would have descended from Abel, had he not been murdered.” “In the Hebrew it is bloods to charge him with the murder of all those that might naturally have come out of Abel’s loins” Resulting curse of Able’s murder The never-to-be-born descendants of Able also cries out to God for vengeance. For instance, if we …More
Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days JESUS CHRIST WILL SEND THEM NOT A TRUE PASTOR, BUT A DESTROYER."
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts. 1 Corinthians 7:19 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. Gal 5:6
“John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.”
Lying in wait refers to a type of murder where a person waits for her victim and then kills in a premeditated ambush-style attack. For days or weeks she has planned the murder with malice aforethought for brutal abortion of her son or daughter. This is severely condemned as wickedness in the Bible. Psalm 10:8: "He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless." Psalm 37:32: "The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them to death." Proverbs 1:11: "If they say, 'Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without reason.'" Proverbs 12:6: "The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them." Deuteronomy 19:11: "But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor, and then flees to one of these cities." Jeremiah 5:26: "Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps …More
This passage (Matt 2:18) is about Rachel’s reaction to the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, which is equivalent to today’s abortion. No apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary has ever even come close to Rachel in weeping for abortion. The Gospel of Matthew 2:18
Further to my comment below, it appears Conchita alleges that Our Lady did speak to her at Garabandal about abortion. It came to light when she was interviewed in 1965 by a German author who recorded it. At the time, Conchita was so innocent of the concept that the journalist answering her question about it had to explain to her what abortion actually was because she didn't understand how it was possible; so she clearly wasn't making it up: simplicityhumilitytrust.org/2021/garabandal/did- … This reminds me of how the innocent seers at Fatima thought Our Lady was speaking about a woman when She told the children: "Russia will spread her errors throughout the world" because they were not even aware of Russia being a country, and Our Lady had used the feminine possessive pronoun: "her errors". And how the innocent St. Bernadette didn't even know what the term "Immaculate Conception" meant when she went to tell the Priest who had asked her to inquire as to the apparition's name, that …More
To everyone... there has been a misunderstanding. The miracle of Rachel is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 2:18 “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” Rachel does this because of the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, the murder of the babies by Herod. I am NOT quoting Rachel of the Old Testament. I am apologizing if anyone was misled into thinking about the Old Testament.
“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more. Mt 2:18 Racheal was raised from the dead to grieve murdered babies and her risen voice was heard 11 miles away This passage is about Rachel’s reaction to the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, which is related to today’s abortion. Rachel was Jacob’s wife, mother of Joseph and Benjamin, a faithful woman of God, who died giving birth. It is incredible that God raised her from the dead to lament the Massacre of the Holy Innocents 1600 years after she was buried. Rachel was weeping for HER massacred babies so loudly that her cry could be heard 11 miles away from her tomb. She lamented so bitterly at their murder, which she called HER children that she REFUSED to be comforted on this earth. Her grief is so tragic that she will only be comforted by God himself when she returns to heaven. This passage is in the Gospel to show us that Rachel’s response …More
@chris griffin My brother, your passion in opposition to the evil of abortion is very commendable, but you must lay the axe to the root of the wicked tree and not simply wicked fruit. The wicked tree is fornication, and the chief root of modern fornication is the rejection of patriarchy at all levels (fathers, brothers, husbands etc.) Restore properly the Forth Commandment and the Fifth Commandment will be much less violated.
Abortion murders the most innocent, helpless, defenseless human beings in the world – unborn babies. Abortion is a mother killing her own son or daughter, her own flesh and blood, the one she should love, protect, and nurture. All four million unborn babies alive in the USA today can be murdered tomorrow, legally, and unstoppably on the whim of their mother. Abortion is always elective, optional, voluntary premeditated murder. Every abortive mother makes 4, 5 or 6 deliberate decisions to kill her baby. She decides in her heart and mind to abort; calling the abortion facility for an appointment; driving to the abortion facility; signing the consent form for the abortion; getting undressed; laying on the table for the abortion. Abortion is paid murder. Abortion is not free and she, or someone, is willing to pay an assassin hundreds of dollars to execute her son or daughter. This proves her willingness, in fact her determination to kill, to murder her baby. Every abortion is accomplished …More
All this is true. How low has fallen what they call the "civilized world". Abortion is an absolute evil, a terrible crime, it should be strictly criminalized everywhere, including the abortion pill.
URGENT: Catholics Give Millions to Abortion and LGBTQ-Related Organizations...The Lepanto Institute recently released an explosive report of findings after spending five months investigating 214 organizations which received funding from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) during fiscal year 2020-2021.
Pope Leo publicly addresses war in the Ukraine and in the Middle East -- and yet he is silent as the war on the unborn is advanced, one of the most grievous crimes of all in our times.....? Really....?
I weep because it seems our hopes that this new Holy Father would reverse over a decade of damage done by Pope Francis will die on the vine, unrealized. Come, Lord Jesus! Come! Maranatha!
People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Luke 18, 15-16 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. Mark 10, 13-16 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom …More
Both said the early gestation unborn babes were vegetables and animals. Both said that conscience is primary even justifying intrinsic evil actions. Both said that lying is always wrong in every case (the Bible says otherwise)
Ok, so the first one is a pretty well known error on their parts. The primacy of conscience was argued by both that if one ignored their own sense of right and wrong, there was something very perverse with that person, barring an instance of actual grace that illuminated the person's mind. By that same token, every human being is obligated to legitimately seek God through natural law which sets the groundwork to accept revelation. I've never encountered the third claim. Can you cite both where they make that claim and the Scripture that refutes it? Asking for a friend.
This is broken down as: 3,555 babies murdered daily 24,954 babies murdered weekly 108,135 babies murdered monthly That is 1,297,625 mothers committing murder. This is the most ungodly massacre in history of the world.
Only the slaughter in China can compare. Especially the heinously vast numbers of children slain in their mother's womb during the years of the "One-Child Policy."
I down vote all of you for callous and hardhearted refusal to address the daily massacre of preborn babies. The condemnation of abortion is an infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church but yall don't care one bit.
Here are the two passages that very wrongly give conscience absolute power. They explicitly state without doubt that conscience must always be followed… 1790 A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. If he were deliberately to act against it, he would condemn himself. 1800 A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. These two passages are rightly and directly contradicted by the encyclical VERITATIS SPLENDOR by Pope John Paul II which say that intrinsic evil i.e. abortion/murder can never be permitted by conscience. VERITATIS SPLENDOR… 52 The negative precepts of the natural law are universally valid. They oblige each and every individual, always and in every circumstance. It is a matter of prohibitions which forbid a given action semper et pro semper, without exception, because the choice of this kind of behaviour is in no case compatible with the goodness of the will of the acting person, with his vocation to life with God and …More
St. Thomas Aquinas wrestled with these questions of the limits of how human conscience binds a person in the Summa [see: nd.edu/~afreddos/papers/st1-2-q19-aa5-6.pdf] St. Paul touched on the subject in the N.T. when speaking to the churches in Rome & Corinth over the issue of whether eating meat from idol sacrifice was permitted or a sin. The upshot was those who were weak in faith could see it as sin by their conscience and should abstain, those who had no problem should take care not to scandalize others. Interesting that Francis and other progressive modernist clergy never cared much about scandalizing the faithful BUT seemed to be more about not offending the worldly!
It's a fact that Francis stated this error. He believed that if one's conscience is followed, one can commit an objectively grave sinful act and culpability is diminished even to the point where it's eliminated altogether. He said so to James Martin S.J. when he apologized for calling sodomy a "sin not a crime" to the African bishops. He told the wayward Jesuit that he was "speaking in theological generalities" and NOT declaring the sinfulness of those in the 'gay lifestyle.' With the exception of being forced against one's will [rape] and possibly 'invincible ignorance' {quite rare} it difficult to see how malformed conscience excuses sexual sins!
