Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT NO ONE'S EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT FAUSTINA'S DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION!Is truth important to you?How was a once forbidden devotion later allowed?How much do you REALLY know about St. Faustina's Divine Mercy devotion?Did you know that Faustina admits her body smelled like a corpse? Did you know her diary contains factual errors, contradictions, unfulfilled prophecies & theological issues?Did you know Faustina claims a crucifix came alive on her chest? And that Jesus' face on the curtain supposedly cried tears onto her bedspread? That she supposedly has visions, hears voices, holds Jesus' hand and receives embraces from Jesus & Mary?Were you aware that Faustina's version of Jesus supposedly sits in the chalice and runs & plays on the altar? That He supposedly calls Faustina a "sweet grape", "beloved pearl of My Heart", "the honor and glory of My Passion", and supposedly says that "the entire Holy Trinity finds Its special delight in you"? And that her version of Mary - who wears transparent(!) clothing - supposedly leaves the infant Jesus alone with Faustina & disappears?Did you know Faustina has grandiose thoughts (e.g. "It seems to me that the whole world serves me and depends on me", "I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine", "I also feel that God, absolutely self-sufficient though He is, cannot be happy without me"), admits to "often" speaking untruthfully ("I often represented myself to my superiors other than I was in reality and spoke of miseries of which I had no notion"), reproaches a saint, orders Jesus around, calls God a "Mother" & a "divine Madman"? And that Jesus supposedly 'dotes' on her, places her above all other virgins, promises her a "permanent income" and a "new world" to live in? Jesus supposedly tells her to inform her superiors about how great she is ("the most faithful daughter in the Order") and even leaves the Blessed Virgin's arms to approach Faustina. He allegedly unites Himself with no other soul "as closely" as He does with Faustina & has more "intimacy" with her than even the angels. She claims "all that exists" is hers, that the Lord's gaze rests upon her "before any other creature". Although her writings have a number of theological concerns, she claims to have "interior knowledge of God" & even claims to know "the entire essence of God."Did you know Faustina has doubts about her alleged visions, has difficulty knowing whether something happened in a dream or in reality, is quite emotional & dramatic, claims she won't undergo judgment, claims the Blessed Virgin is in a "special and exclusive way" her Mother, says that "Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior", and claims that Jesus literally(!) took her heart (so that she has no heart). And despite all the alleged heavenly encounters, Faustina considers her life to be "drab"!Although Faustina's Divine Mercy devotion is very popular, it's clearly not without controversy, including the fact that it was initially forbidden, that it contains elements pleasing to modernists & Protestants, and that there is arguably a stark contrast between it & Fatima, not to mention Holy Scripture. Many follow Faustina's devotion nowadays without really knowing what's in it or what problems may exist.Get this 'must-read' article today for startling facts & eye opening information concerning Faustina's Divine Mercy devotion.

This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's Up With Faustina's Divine Mercy Devotion (2)? Another Approach For Getting To The Truth + + + Do you care about truth? If so, don't miss this interesting second installment of 'What's Up With Faustina's Divine Mercy Devotion?' This volume is particularly designed for... 1. Sincere, good-hearted devotees of Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion (those genuinely confident the devotion is from God should, in their charity, be willing to provide concrete, factual & sensible answers to questions) 2. Those who already find Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion to be problematic (e.g. to strengthen them and to assist them in discussions with devotees) The publication contains various facts & quotes, plus thousands of questions in more than 100 groupings, including questions regarding issues in Faustina's diary related to... * False prophecies * Contradictions * Uncharacteristic behavior * Questionable events * Etc. For example, this volume contains the following questions... * How can her 'vision' actually be of the Lord Jesus Christ if things the 'vision' said never came true? * And why would Faustina - who tells us frequently how she is favored by God - "constantly" smell like a corpse BEFORE she died? * Why is it that a term which doesn't find its way into Scripture at all, but so clearly fits into Faustina's speech patterns, is allegedly uttered by God in the same manner in which Faustina herself uses it? * Why do the focus and message of Fatima and Faustina's focus & message differ so much even though they were both so close in time? Why would Jesus & Mary not be 'on the same page' in both apparitions? * Which version of Jesus is safer to trust, Jesus as portrayed in Holy Scripture or the depiction of Jesus provided by a nun who - as admitted by her 'biggest champion' - is "frequently" unable to distinguish between her imagination and reality? * And what exactly can be achieved on this annual mercy feast that cannot be achieved on any other day by making a good Confession and gaining a plenary indulgence? * You believe God actually needed significantly more words from Faustina to convince of His mercy than all the Gospel writers combined needed to tell us about the entire life, death & resurrection of Jesus, not to mention informing us about His mission and activities while on earth? * How can a message of mercy supposedly from Jesus fail to emphasize the means of obtaining mercy that He Himself gave us in the Sacrament of Penance? * How can a devotion promoting mercy bring with it the threat of a new & previously unheard of 'mortal sin'? * How can Faustina's writings be relied upon when they contain contradictions, errors, and false prophecies? * How can we be sure the voices or words in Faustina's head are God's, rather than her own? * How is it that Faustina can receive so many extraordinary praises and honors from God and make so few comments in response? * Wouldn't you expect a 'great Catholic mystic' to get their prophecies and doctrine correct? * Couldn't one also make the case that Faustina's writings portray a God who is LESS merciful than the one the Church has always taught us about?

Download or read book Passport to Heaven written by Micah Wilder and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You have a call, Elder Wilder.” When missionary Micah Wilder set his sights on bringing a Baptist congregation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he had no idea that he was the one about to be changed. Yet when he finally came to know the God of the Bible, Micah had no choice but to surrender himself—no matter the consequences. For a passionate young Mormon who had grown up in the Church, finding authentic faith meant giving up all he knew: his community, his ambitions, and his place in the world. Yet as Micah struggled to reconcile the teachings of his Church with the truths revealed in the Bible, he awakened to his need for God’s grace. This led him to be summoned to the door of the mission president, terrified but confident in the testimony he knew could cost him everything. Passport to Heaven is a gripping account of Micah’s surprising journey from living as a devoted member of a religion based on human works to embracing the divine mercy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
