ARE WE MEMBERS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EXEMPTED FROM STUDYING/READING THE HOLY BIBLE??? (Refer to Holy Bible verses below: Deuteronomy 6:1-9; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-23, 28:18-20; John 15:16; Genesis 1:26-28). May the love, peace and endless blessings from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of us. Our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us in The Holy Bible that all people (wether a Catholic or not) on planet are commanded to study/preach/live according to The Word of God: The Holy Bible (Please refer to Holy Bible: (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-23, 28:18-20; John 15:16; Genesis 1:26-28). As parents we must study and live according to The Holy Bible so that we will be able to teach our children to develop “Fear of God, Love of God and Fellowmen, and Obedience to God’s Will and Commandments. Please see the preaching below: PARENT’S NO. 1 SPIRITUAL OBLIGATION TO THEIR CHILDREN!!! (Please refer to Holy Bible: (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-23, 28:18-20; John 15:16; Genesis 1:26-28). Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Amplified Bible (AMP) 6 Now this is the instruction, the laws, and the precepts which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the land to which you go to possess it, 2 That you may [reverently] fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son’s son, and keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and be watchful to do them, that it may be well with you and that you may increase exceedingly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. 4 Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord [the only Lord]. 5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being and with all your might. 6 And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be [first] in your [own] mindsand hearts; [then] 7 You shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the [minds and] hearts of your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up. 8 And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets (forehead bands) between your eyes. 9 And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP) 4 I charge [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom: 2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, 4 And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. 5 As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry. Our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us in the Holy Bible that the parent’s no. 1 spiritual obligation to their children is to lead them to live in holiness or in Faith in God and according to God’s Will and commandments (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-23, 28:18-20; Genesis 1:26-28). We are directly commanded by Our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ to share/teach the Word of God or The Holy Bible to our children by: 1. Living as example of Holiness or Faith in God and Obedience to His Will and commandments. 2. Studying the Word of God and teaching/sharing them to our children. In our society today, how many parents are paying attention to the Word of God or The Holy Bible and teaching/sharing them to their children???? So how can we expect the people particularly the children to live in Holiness if their parents are not doing it and not being taught by their parents about the Word of God. It is very evident that the failure of our society to live a life according to God’s Will and Commandments is brought about by parent’s failure to live according to The Word of God and their failure to share and to teach to their children. The only way for our life here on planet Earth to improve and be restored according to God’s Will and plan, we as parents must learn The Word of God and apply in our daily life, and be able to share and teach to our children. What is a TRUE FAITH IN GOD? A TRUE FAITH IN GOD is God’s spiritual power in our heart that gives us power to do the following: 1. To believe in God and in His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt, although we do not yet fully know God and understand His Word (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40). 2. To do the Will of God and obey His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt and hesitation, although our human understanding does not yet fully understand His motive and purpose (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40, James 2:14-26). Our Faith in God is developed and becomes powerful by continuous listening, studying and meditating in the Word of God: The Holy Bible (Romans 1:17, 10:17; John 5:39-40, 6:63, 15:1-10) It is the power of our Faith in God that mobilizes our freedom of choice to obey God and bear the following spiritual fruits in our life: 1. REPENT (refer to post about “REPENTANCE”) 2. Undergo SPIRITUAL REBIRTH (John 3:5). 3. Overcome/win our Baptism of Fire. (Please see explanation below) What is REPENTANCE? REPENTANCE means to be “BORN OF WATER”(John 3:3-8). It is a spiritual act on the part of man to accept God’s gift: “SPIRITUAL SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE and restoration of being sons/daughters of God who will join Him in “THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN OR THE HOLY CITY: THE NEW JERUSALEM”(Revelation 21:6-8), that our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished through His death on the cross (John 3:16-21). When a man REPENTS, God expects him to do the following acts through the help and guidance of our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ: 1. To completely surrender to God (Matthew 3:2,8,11 & 4:17; 6:9-10; John 3:3-8). 2. To do the WILL of GOD (Matthew 6:9-10) and obey His commandments (Matthew 7:21-23). 3. To replace our Human Will and Satan (Galatians 5:16-21) as our god in this sinful world by our ALMIGHTY FATHER OUR LORD JESUS CHIRST, as our new GOD here at the Kingdom of heaven on Earth. 4. To hate, expose and destroy Satan and the territories of darkness or causes of SIN (Ephesians 6:10-18). What is SPIRITUAL REBIRTH? SPIRITUAL REBIRTH means to be “BORN OF SPIRIT” (John 3:5). It is a spiritual action from God that replaces our Human Will or the spirit of Satan which was removed when we REPENT by a SPIRIT OF GOD or THE HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT within us gives us power to do the WILL OF GOD and live like our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ, after our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ baptised us in The Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49;John 14:15-18; Acts 1:4-5, 2:1-36). What is Spiritual Growth and Maturity? Our Almighty Father expects us to grow and mature spiritually, in the same way that our physical parents expect us to grow and mature physically. The sign of spiritual growth and maturity is manifested in the following: 1. The Word of God we received is being applied in our daily life. 2. We start to be entrusted of God’s Word and works of The Kingdom of God. 3. We are prepared to face our Baptism of Fire. What is BAPTISM OF FIRE? Our Baptism of Fire are trials and sufferings we experience in our life (Matthew 3:11, 5:10-12; Revelation 21:7; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15) for being a son or daughter of God and doing His Will and Commandments (Matthew 6:9-10). It is a gift or blessing from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ for being His son or daughter (Matthew 5:10-12, John 1:12, Revelation 21:7). For sinners, false prophets/teachers and Satan and his demons, Baptism of Fire is the suffering in Hell that they will face in judgment if they will not REPENT (Revelation 21:6-8, Matthew 7:19, John 15:6).
