I was accused today of hating Catholic people. I don't. I have several Catholic friends. The person who accused me of hating Catholics had read one of the books that I have on my flea market table which spoke about the anti-christ. He stated that other religions are ok with raping children, but that I was picking on the Catholic faith and not pointing out the issues that other faiths have. Let me make this plain, I believe that Jesus died for everyone, regardless of their nationality, color, gender, wealth, lack of wealth, or religious beliefs. John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JHN.10.KJV Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/GAL.3.KJV God has people all over the world in every nation and religion. In fact a lot of the supposedly "religious" people need to read this verse: Matthew 21:31 "Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.21.KJV Matthew also says in chapter 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.7.KJV
What I am against is evil, regardless of how it's packaged. I am against hate, deception, lies, anything that is contrary to my loving Savior. We are warned in Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.7.KJV
Jesus is soon to come. We must learn to love each other and discern who are sheep and who are wolves. John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JHN.13.KJV Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.10.16.KJV
