Points to Ponder About
PURPOSE
The purpose of Points to
Ponder
About is to stimulate thinking that would draw the disoriented
Faithful back to God (1)
and away from the hypocritical duplicity of some religious
institutions which are destroying the little faith left on earth (2)(3).
The instructions are simple: Just invoke the illumination of
the
Holy Spirit of God while you ponder upon any of these Points to Ponder and let God guide
you to Light. We know that some make-believe religious leaders will
say: "What about satan interfering
and leading the soul astray?" To those... we invoke Our Lord's
Words again:
"...Get
the behind me, Satan: the art an offense unto me: for the severest
not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." [Matthew 16:23]
and further
"And
I
say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and yea shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that sketch
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a
father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a
fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer
him a scorpion? If ye
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how
much more shall
your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? [Luke 11:9-13]
and finally
"But
woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither
suffer ye them that are entering to go in." [Matthew 23:13]
Points To Ponder - October - December

Do
you ever wonder why... every other illuminated,
researcher, historian and/or enemy of the Faith ascribe full and/or
half
brothers and sisters to Jesus, yet, from the Cross He said (in
reference to Mary and John):
"Woman,
behold thy son." After that, He said to the disciple: "Behold thy
Mother". And from that hour, the disciple took Her to his own." [John 19:26-27]
Obviously if Jesus had had full or half sisters and brothers, according
their custom, Mary would have stayed with them and not be with John
henceforth - even all the way to Ephesus.

Do
you ever wonder why... society was manipulated
so that Santa Claus replaced the Three Wise Men of the Epiphany?
Because the concept of Santa Claus (*) is man's fabrication,
as the
False Christ is, and the Three Wise Men were real - actual
Astrologers
- who knew, from Jews who had been taken to their countries, about an
astronomical sign that would announce the arrival of the Messiah.
But that is not all.... Little kids are made to believe in a visible
"Santa" while at the same time, but with lesser enthusiasm, they are
somehow taught about and unseen God. Later they find out that
Santa really does not exist - that it was a lie. At that moment the
subconscious mechanism,
aided by the
reprogramming by the world starts telling the young person that
that
invisible God must also be a lie and that sooner or later they too will
find out.
Clever, isn't it? Most everyone cooperates with that effective method
for the destruction of the incipient faith. Now
even
Benedict has joined
the "bandwagon". Is anyone surprised? If anyone is, they should
check
their vision and
their hearing.
(*) There is a St. Nicholas but he was transformed into an
unreal character.

Do
you ever wonder why... the Birth of the Savior
of the World, Jesus Christ, is celebrated on December 25th? The Church
does not really know, but now,
you
will know the real reason. Rejoice! The celebration date is right
on target!

Do
you ever wonder why... generally speaking, the
countries in the New World who were colonized and "civilized" by ultra
Catholic Spain and Portugal ended up being the most poor, most
exploited, more unjust and backward nations?
We know for a fact that
it is
not the Catholic Faith that is at fault.
Think about it.... That
"picture" has far more information than the proverbial "thousand words."
(*) Which, of course, is
unacceptable then, now and forever!

Do
you wonder why... those who claim purity
of body through celibacy, turn around and, unaware of what they are
really doing, practice sado-masochism or
self
mutilation, piously
called "mortification" or "sacrifice" or "purification" or "sin
prevention"?
Sadism and masochism have become "the rage" of our decadent world since
it is the maximum form of sexual deviation. Of course, when one
flagellates oneself it becomes sado-masochism: The same individual
administers and receives the pain.
Scripturally
speaking,
only servants/priests of Baal [1Kings 18:28] and the like would engage in such travesty.
Some will protest with: "It has been done for centuries, even by
saints."
To that we say: "Christian Administrators" have also killed, or indirectly caused the
death of, more humans in "the Name of God" than any other group in
human history - acting against every
teaching of
Jesus, the Christ -
from Whom they dared to derive their label of "Christian". Does that
make it right? Of course not!
We can offer very
effective sacrifices to God through fasting; eating
what we do not like; offering
extra prayers;
acts of charity (not
from our excesses!); dress, eat and drive below our
financial means; turn the other cheek, for a change; walk to
Fátima, for example, as many Portuguese do; and joyfully accept
and offer every inconvenience and aggravation we come across in our
daily lives for the love of Jesus, in reparation for the outrages
against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the conversion of sinners. We
say to offer those that "we come across in our daily lives" and not to go out and look
for them. Keep very clear in mind that, when Jesus went to pray to
Gethsemane the first thing He did was to ask the Father if it was
possible for the chalice to pass Him by [Luke 22:42].
Make no mistake - anyone who wants to be more of a martyr than
Jesus,
is under the influence of satan - who always wants to upstage God.

With all of that "Limbo talk" coming from the Vatican
and the Press - Do
you wonder why... if the Vatican has
unilaterally ruled,
and
insists, that "There is no salvation outside the Church"
[Catechism 846], that
Baptism is "...
necessary
for salvation."
[Catechism
157], and all other rulings issued with the only real purpose of
making themselves indispensable, where are poor Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, Jesse, David, Solomon, etc., etc.
If the Church Administrators would have placed their emphasis in
Evangelizing as Jesus intended them to do,
and
not in their
survival
as
an "elite private club", making available to all who desired them
the
Sacramental Treasure which, in spite of them!, has reached us
today,
the world would not be the sewer it has become.
No, miguel de Portugal
is not "a
modernist"
, au contraire! miguel de
Portugal is only calling a "Spade" a "Spade" so that the disoriented
faithful understand why God will use said "Spade" to dig a hole into
which to bury
a crucified
and dead Church Administration
before
He Resurrects it in
Glory as He intended
it to be originally: To lead one and all
back
to the House of the
Father.

Do
you wonder why... if the Vatican thinks
homosexuals are such a high moral risk in the priesthood they do not
immediately defrock all homosexual priests, Bishops,
Archbishops
and
Cardinals? Temporal
and
spiritual logic would support the notion
that someone who is a risk, becomes a greater one the greater his
authority over others is.
In other words - the mockery of God by those who claim to serve Him and
represent Him continues. Nothing has changed nor will change
until God
steps in and allow upon them what He allowed upon the Temple
of
Jerusalem in the 1st Century - something we truly look forward to for
they have caused enough harm
upon humanity already.

Do
you ever wonder why... we, who owe all to God -
literally ALL - make
such an issue of Thanksgiving Day in the US?
We should be ashamed that we take only one day out of 365 days to Thank
God - something that we do not even do properly since the Parishes
generally cut down their Mass Schedules on that day so that the
families stay home, gorge on food they do not really need
while
forgetting those who have much less and who die by the millions
because they are too poor to survive.
Brethren, make sure that you have something in your hands to show God
when you are unexpectedly
called to His presence.... and make sure that
it is not Pumpkin Pie!

Do
you ever wonder... what John, the Beloved
Disciple, meant when he informed us thus:
"Here is wisdom. He that hath
understanding, let him count the number of a man : and the number of
him is six hundred sixty-six." [Rev. 13:18] ?
Obviously St. John did not expect the children of God to engage in
complicated mathematical derivations to identify its source as well as
its precursor. It wouldhave to be so obvious that only a
child-like mind would spot it.
The number in question is "
666".
As we have illustrated
in
various documents, José María
Escrivá, founder of the Opus Dei, under the cover of false
piety, gave the world his "way" - the famous little booklet that he
composed to falsify the
true
and only Way - (the teachings of) Jesus Christ. This booklet is
in essence the "bible" of the Escrivites and it so happens to be
composed of
999 maxims.
Of course, it could be argued that "
999"
is the opposite of "
666", yet,
they are exactly the same when
Escriva's
falsification of
the very
foundation of Christianity is taken into consideration.
May those of have
Eyes,
See, and Ears, Hear.....

Do
you ever wonder... why if
the central and
essential message
of the Qur'an (Islam's equivalent of the Bible) was for the
Christians
of the time to follow and obey the teachings of Jesus and for the Jews
to also recognize the teachings of Jesus and incorporate them in their
beliefs - we have been at each others throats for 1400 years?
Because that is
satan's
plan. Today - Islamic terrorists; Yesterday -
the Crusades. It is all the same with different packaging because man
is blind enough to not recognize the difference. Imagine, taking the
serpent's advise over God's!
[Genesis
3: 1-6]

Do
you ever wonder... why if Jesus stated...
"Amen,
amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he
also shall do; and greater than these shall he do. Because I go to the
Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I
do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son." [John 14: 12-13]
...when you look around the world, after millions upon millions
of Masses and millions upon millions of Rosaries, all you see is that
we are rapidly "going to hell in a hand basket"?
The above statement is not a mistranslation since the same message,
presented in different manners, may be read in other parts of the New
Testament.
So, did Jesus lie? Of course not! For He also stated....
"If
you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this
mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the
sea: and it would obey you." [Luke 17:6]
Thus, the fault is not Jesus'; the fault is our lack of Faith in
Jesus. One can go to "zillion" of Masses and offer
"quinquillion" of Rosaries but it is Faith that really matters. Did not
Jesus kept repeating, every time He healed someone:
"Your Faith has healed you"?
Brethren, exactly "What part of this you cannot understand"? Faith is
not obtained at the nearest Shopping Mall nor absorbed by osmosis by
sitting through a Mass or a
Rosary
- Faith in God is obtained through
prayerful request to God
- the only One Who can grant such Grace. No
Church can!
No, you just can't ask, then "snap your fingers" and "presto!" you are
"full of Faith". Did not we also read that
"...Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age,
and grace with God and men" after Joseph and Mary found Him at
the Temple engaged in theological discussions with the doctors at the
Temple of Jerusalem?
[Luke 2:
46-52]
The more we advance in Grace, the more we become Jesus
like; the more we become Jesus like, the more we can act as He did
because He promised so.
This is exactly why
the Church He established failed, and those who
claim to be the Saviors of the Church and mankind, are making the same
mistake. The choice is totally yours - Do you really believe
in
Jesus? Even if you do not... Do you want to believe in Jesus? Ask, and "ye shall receive" and the Father
will see you Home, right here in this Earth. Why wait when you can
start tasting and enjoying Eternity now before even crossing the veil?
Believe in God! and He
shall set you free!
Did you say that you are not worth it? That such wonders are only for
good people (whatever "good people" means to you)? That God is too busy
with more important issues than to worry about someone "worthless and
unimportant" like you? Do not keep falling for satan's oldest
trick! When you take that attitude, incited by satan, you are
actually blocking God's action in your soul. You are important! Jesus
died for you too! Shake off induced negativism and embrace the cross -
you will be surprised at
the
wonderful results!

Do
you wonder... why Benedict XVI appointed
Archbishop Levada Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith given
his
proven and well documented background?
Levada answered that question himself in his most extensive interview
yet. Levada told Vatican Radio that the fact that the Congregation now
oversees
issues of sexual abuse by clergy,
"that given ... the explosion of that on the American scene over the
past few years, my experience with that ... may have said to him it
wouldn't be bad to have someone also who has this experience.."
We wish to express our gratitude to Archbishop Levada and
Vatican Radio for making the discharge of
miguel de
Portugal's and
our
function this easy. Anyone who blindly place the future of their
souls
in the hands of
these people
- without first
testing
their spirit, on a case
by case basis - certainly deserve what their future will be.
Therefore, we must pray for those who have
Eyes to See so that
they may
shake off the slumber they are still entrapped in and act upon the
nauseus reality we are all facing.

Do
you wonder... why sects continue to promote
corporal punishment as a means to attain holiness and control their
sinful natures?
Perhaps they have not yet reached the part in the New Testament when
the method is clearly explained by Paul:
And by reason of the exceeding
greatness of the
revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to
me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I
should not be exalted overmuch. Concerning this thing I besought
the
Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he hath said unto
me, My
grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me. [ 2 Corinthians 12: 7-9 ]
Or perhaps - since Divine Grace is the requirement - they just have
to use
other techniques.

Do
you wonder... why man keeps placing his
complete trust
in technology?
Have you noticed what happened as the result of Katrina and Rita? What
happened as the result of earthquakes in Kashmir? The floods in Central
America? The tsunami in S.E. Asia? Do you realize that not even in
cutting edge technology US preparations nor response for the hurricanes
were even adequate?
Check into the news services worldwide and you will see that the
crisises are still "open" in all of those areas. We may still lose as
many human beings in the Kashmir area as the result of no proper
response than to the earthquake itself.
In the meantime - take a look at
some
suggestions that we
have made
regarding unexpected events in our lives such as... "Miss Wilma"
knocking
at your door.
Do
you wonder... why the
Book of Enoch
fell
on disgrace, to the point of being labeled heretical by the Roman
Catholic Church, at the beginning of the ninth century when the
canonical Epistle of St. Jude, in verses 14, 15,
explicitly quotes from the Book of Enoch [the citation is found in the
Ethiopic version in verses 9 and 4 of the first chapter]?
