Featured Go out in Jesus Name

You didn’t answer the question.

Sometimes people do need signs.

The unrepentant man is proud he hides his sin and does not acknowledge that he has sinned.

The repentant man does not hide his sin, he humbles himself before God and men brings it to the light, comes clean about.it.

A great way of humbling ourselves is to do it publically. You accuse Catholics of trying to look holy, when in fact they are humbling themselves acknowledging that they are sinners.

When people are beating themselves up, I don’t try to beat them up even more, or put boots to them.

“But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

 

So even the Lord gives us a parable of man publicly repenting.

It’s humbling to repent publicly.

He who humbles himself will be exalted.

Yes we make public confessions that we are sinners.

“I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, ( striking chest ) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.”

Next time you are praying, just thank God you are not like us Catholic sinners.

 

You accuse Catholics of being insincere in their repentance, that they are doing it all for show.
You sneer, judge and accuse as if you know and judge people’s hearts.
You profess to be Christian yet you use all the weapons of the darkness.

And I’m not seeing any charity in any of your posts, which is most disturbing.

 

It was a Israelite custom to cross oneself, symbolising God is the Alpha and Omega, “ Truth “ Eternal, First and Last. The Seal of God.

Once Christians used it to symbolise the Cross of Christ, they no longer continued the custom. They disassociated themselves from Christianity.

 

Do you claim your teachings and doctrines are given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?

 

I say Alpha and Omega from our perspective in the New Covenant.

Taw “tau” is God’s symbol, meaning the same thing. Eternal Truth, I AM who AM., Uncreated Eternal, Ever Present, Omnipresent.

wayyōmɛr YHWH ʾēlå̄w ʿăḇōr bəṯōḵ hå̄ʿīr bəṯōḵ yərūšå̄lå̄yim wəhiṯwīṯå̄ tå̄w ʿal-miṣḥōṯ hå̄ʾănå̄šīm hannɛʾɛ̆nå̄ḥīm wəhannɛʾɛ̆nå̄qīm ʿal kål-hattōʿēḇōṯ hannaʿăśōṯ bəṯōḵå̄h


Ezekiel 9:4

“And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.

5 And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.

6 Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who were before the house.”

Taw is God’s symbol and Seal on the foreheads of his own.

Satan and the Antichrist mock this Seal of God by marking the foreheads of his own with blasphemy against God.

This is why the Seal of God Tau is publicaly displayed on the forehead as witness before men.

Just as there was no mercy in Ezekiel, there will be no mercy for those marked with the mark of the beast, as opposed to those marked with God’s Seal Taw. ✝️


Something cool and beautiful Psalm 139

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, ( East )
if I settle on the far side of the sea, ( West )
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

It was explained to me by a Rabbi who converted to Christianity that in Sacerdotal Judaism the Israelites Crossed themselves at the reading of this part of the Psalm.

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, ( East )

if I settle on the far side of the sea, ( West )

This is the sign of God but it also shows the Omnipresent and Eternal Nature of God, Eternal Truth. The Israelites inculcated spiritual realities into physical representations in worship, and many other ways, customs etc. Even culinary things and dress.

A whole lot more can be said on it, the Old Testament has many other references denoting the cross or Tau.

 

The idea of making your spiritual Faith a part of your daily life practice in custom is Jewish. Your theology is played out and recalled in everything you do, it adds significance draws you constantly to reenforce your beliefs, and to pray always.

St. Cyril of Jerusalem (Ad 386) in his Catechetical Lectures stated, “Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified. Be the cross our seal, made with boldness by our fingers on our brow and in everything; over the bread we eat and the cups we drink, in our comings and in our goings out; before our sleep, when we lie down and when we awake; when we are traveling, and when we are at rest”

You are constantly calling on and acknowledging the Triune God invoking The Holy Name, you are constantly confessing Christ crucified and by public witness. Your whole life is a witness of your faith in Christ, a meditation and blessing in one.

If you see someone make the sign of the cross, what is the safest bet but that they are Catholic.

Tertullian (d. c. 250) described the commonness of the sign of the cross: “In all our travels and movements, in all our coming in and going out, in putting on our shoes, at the bath, at the table, in lighting our candles, in lying down, in sitting down, whatever employment occupies us, we mark our foreheads with the sign of the cross” (De corona, 30).

You make every thing you do significant, with the significance of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

“Never leave your house without making the sign of the cross. It will be to you a staff, a weapon, an impregnable fortress. Neither man nor demon will dare to attack you, seeing you covered with such powerful armor. Let this sign teach you that you are a soldier, ready to combat against the demons, and ready to fight for the crown of justice. Are you ignorant of what the cross has done? It has vanquished death, destroyed sin, emptied hell, dethroned Satan, and restored the universe. Would you then doubt its power?”

St. John Chrysostom, 4th-century Preacher and Patriarch of Constantinople
