I bring you a link with
info on the medieval church of Wales. This is a fabulous story on the
preservation of the Christian heritage born out of the Catholic
church. Some christian people like to look at the Catholic church as an
enemy of the faith..
This is wrong, because many great works of salvation were
recorded and preserved through the Catholic credibility. The Christian
church was so fragmented for years, that it did need a larger institution to
have the power to record and verify biblical works.
The power of the saints, in all their virtue and faith was amazing and
so verified by the catholic church. Does any-one out there want to deny
them their suffering? They suffered many evils to show the strength of the
Lord, carried by him, through their obedience and faith.
Likewise they (and their suffering) are just as important in the
literature of christian history. These were periods of time in the christian
movement that the actual concept of faith was being established. They (the
saints) are the epitome of what the bible said would have to happen to receive
in the later-days.They were carriers of a cross themselves and yes it is sown
of the bible words.
In order for Gods prophetic theological masterpiece to take place, (The
Book of Revelations) these hurdles needed to be had. I'm not saying to pray
directly to the saints, but find them in your thoughts. Although it was written
in the bible that, the future of the saints would entail them having great
power and authority one day. In the passage below, Jesus talked about this very
subject.
1 Corinthians
(6:02) "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
(6:03) Know ye not that we shall judge angels?"
( 1 Corinthians 6:02-3, KJV)
Here
the Lord speaks to the faithful of those days, letting them know what their
fate would be if they were loyal to God. Remember many Christians were
crucified and murder after the event of Jesus being crucified. Jesus was the
corner stone for the foundation of "The Saints".
So I ask once more who could deny the saints their status? Because that
is all the Catholic church was trying to do, to keep records of those who
really stood out in their saint-hood. I guess that was their apostlestic presence, to document and record
towards the future works.
I
won't go into details of their failings, because all the churches seem to be
falling short. How do I know, ( you may ask) well if we were all at our mark,
there wouldn't be "many Church denominations"; now would there? Nope,
there would be only one
church; all "United
under God".
As
far as the child abuse scandals; it becomes very evident that the Catholic
church lost its battle with the devil. One to many exorcisms that they
evidently were not prepared to take on. It seems those priest took those evils
home with them and I'm not joking!
