Alvin, what Catholic fellows mean to you? Friends or foes?


They are my friends, at least I acknowledge them as friends. I don't know about their impression toward me. I am not against them, I really mean that. Even Jesus teaches us to even love our enemies. They are my brothers and sisters, need much higher respect and love from me that enemies. I respect and do love them.

I am not against them, no matter what their belief, Catholic, Christian, Islam, Hindu, Budha, Snake worshipper, Baal worshipper, etc. They are just flesh and blood. Many of them don't know that Jesus is the only way to God the Father. Many of them think that good works can bring them nearer and nearer to God, then on the Judgment Day, God will scale their good deeds and bad deeds. If they are good enough, they will go to heaven, if they very bad, they go to hell, if they are so so, they go to Purgatory, or whatever you called it to be punished, purified for some times until they are worthy enough to be in heaven.

They believe things like that because they don't understand. Their wrong belief, false prophets have deceived them for long time. The reason why I confronted people is because I care so much about their eternity, I want them to go to heaven, together with me. I know salvation is personal. I can't help so much. What I can do is to make them examine themselves, do they really have Spirit of God in their life or not, to make them aware that there are 2 laws applied in their body, law of flesh and law of Spirit. I want them to really humble themselves before God and accept Jesus as their Savior.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I do against the spirits who captive them, who control them. Do you know that:

  • If you go to prostitute place, you will find spirit of immorality, adultery;
  • If you go to witch or supranatural agent, you will find evil spirit, spirit of witchcraft;
  • If you go to bar or night life cafe, you will find spirit of drunkeness, addiction, etc.
  • If you go the church, I mean the real church, you will find Spirit of God dwelling there.

Or even within you yourself. Have you got drunk so much? Can you control yourself, your mind, your body? Have you watched porn movie? Don't you feel something called lust, desire arise within your heart until it become so much, and you can't resist it. You go and embarassed yourself when you get drunk, or you do masturbation or even worse do free sex with your sin partner, orgies, etc. You called it animal insting, I called it, 'possessed' by evil spirits. Yes, now.

You can do nothing against it, you know it is not right, but you can't help it. Instead you look for answer to satisfy your burden, your sorrow that always confront you from deep inside your heart. You try to kill it, until it can't disturb you any longer. You called it burden, I called it godly sorrow that lead to repentance. Through it, God want to call you to start a new relationship with Him again.

Human and animals are different, We have something called spirit because human was breathed by God Spirit in the beginning, until Spirit of God left them because of sins, leave an empty puzzle deep down in your heart, that can only be satisfied by have fellowship together again with Him.

I confront them not to condemn or judge them, but I want them to aware that by their own self, they can't please God by behaving like that. I want them to know about Jesus. I believe that godly sorrow lead to repentance. I bring the Bible to them, compare their lives with Bible and let the Bible judge them. I encourage them to have desire to know the Real God. God is willing to be found. He even waiting for you to come and call His Name, 'Abba, Father.' My friends,

God is close, as close as you with the monitor in front of you. Would you believe Him, believe in Jesus only? You don't need any mediator between you and God anymore, since Jesus Christ has made 2 to 1. Invite Jesus, my friends, without Jesus you can't know God, without knowing God, you will be in Hell. Jesus loves you.
