FIRST, I AM NOT A CATHOLIC ANYMORE, BECAUSE I READ THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION AND IT IS A MIX OF PAGAN AND CHRISTRIANITY. AND IT DID NOT AGREE WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

FOR EXAMPLE, ISAIAH42:8-17 IS TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE IDOLATRY AND MAKE GRAVEN IMAGES. THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB (YAHWEH) FORBIDS IDOLATRY. UNFORTUNATELY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS STILL BLIND CONCERNING THIS TRUTH. JUST AS THE MUSLIMS ARE BLIND TO THE FACT THAT ALLAH IS THE ARAB MOON god. DON'T BELIEVE ME. LOOK IT UP IN HISTORY!! JUST AS I STARTED SEARCHING OUT CATHOLIC HISTORY. WE CAN'T RELY ON WHAT OUR PASTORS, PRIESTS, IMAMS TEACH US, BUT WE HAVE TO SEARCH THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

SECONDLY, GOD IS A GOD OF PEACE, LOVE, JOY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, MERCY, JUSTICE HE IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH. BUT IS SLOW TO ANGER AND QUICK TO FORGIVE IF WE REPENT AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS. BUT GOD IS GOING TO JUDGE US ALL. ON JUDGMENT DAY. HE ALSO PUNISHES US WHEN WE DISOBEY JUST AS A LOVING FATHER CORRECTS HIS CHILD.

FOR THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL OF US HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. WE ARE ALL GUILTY BEFORE HIM. BUT,GOD IS SO MERCIFUL THAT HE FORGIVES IF WE REPENT. ISAIAH 54:8 SAYS IN ANGER I HID MY FACE FROM YOU FOR A MOMENT, BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS WILL I HAVE MERCY ON YOU.
