Catholics in Guam (con't.)
Catholics are not the problems in the Catholic Church…
it is Catholicism.
The teachings, or rather, the lack
thereof is the problem. Protestants,
as well, are caught
up in biblical teachings that concentrate on tongue
speaking,
physical healings, and other non-faith issues. God is looking for “faithers”...believers who ACT in faith; not hand-raisers,
tearjerkers, or
churchgoers.
Let me explain “Faithers”: Consider a person who, when
asked, if an airline
can fly from point “A” to point “B”
safely, answers… “Yes.” Based on flight
histories of
most airlines it is fair that a positive answer be accepted.
However,
FAITH is a matter of buckling up and trusting
that the Lord will safely get the plane
to its destination.
Words are not enough proof of Faith… action speaks louder than
words.
Knowledge of God amongst Chamorros is rare; Mary-ology (if I could coin
a word) is
a deeper-rooted belief with our culture than is the existence and
worship of Jesus
and His soon return to rule during the Millennium. Mary is blessed to be the mother
of the son of God. We should all love her and honor
her for being the woman God
chose to bear our savior.
Until one studies the Old Testament, knowledge of the details of who God is through
the writings of the prophets is minimal. More is known of Mary than Jesus. One thing
we should all know and understand: Mary is not the mother of God; God does not
have a mother. Mary is the mother…of the Son of God. Read Matthew 12:46-50.
