[Greek] ἀπειθέω (apeitheō), [Latin] incredulus, [Latin] adsumentum, [Latin] non credere, [Latin] adquiescere, [Latin] infidelis: to disobey, to reject, to disbelieve, to conspire; 17 scriptures
The human tradition of Nostra Aetate TAKES PRECEDENCE over Jesus’ divine command to make disciples of all nations and to bring souls into heaven. This has become the priority of the Conciliar/Synodal Church (Vatican). LET THAT SINK IN!
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means to disobey, to reject, and to not abide.
Xenophon’s Memorabilia 3.5.5: “For confidence breads carelessness, lackness and disobedience; fear makes men more attentive, more amenable to discipline.”
Aeschylus’ Agamemnon 1049: “Since you are in the toils of destiny, perhaps you will obey; if you are so inclined, but perhaps you will not.”
Euripides’ Orestes 31: “Still it was his obedience to the god that made him kill her.”
Old Testament: This term denotes the sinful attitude (disobedience) of the people.
New Testament: This term means to disobey, to disbelieve, and to reject.
Jn.3:36: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” (Having faith means being subject to the will of the Son. Such unbelief leaves a person separated from God and unable to receive the life found in His Son. Apart from Christ, humanity remains under condemnation because sin has not been forgiven.)
Acts 14:2-3: “Paul and Barnabas spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks came to believe, although the disbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.”
- The Jews were greatly provoked by the growing success of the gospel. Jewish opponents actively enlisted Gentile resistance against the Christians.
- False reports and hostile accusations turned the Gentiles against the Christians.
- Opposition to Christ often works through distortion, suspicion, and slander rather than open examination of the truth.
- As the serpent deceived Eve, I am afraid that your thoughts may be corrupted. CORRUPTION OF MINDS IS SATANIC ACIVITY (2Cor. 1:3)
Acts 19:9: “But when some in their obstinacy and disbelief disparaged the Way before the assembly, Paul withdrew and took his disciples with him and began to hold daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.” (The unbelieving Jews sought to wreak their hatred against Paul by stirring up suspicion among the Gentiles. The Way becomes synonymous with the gospel. The Christians were still perceived as a sect by the Jews.)
Rom.2:5-8: “By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, your storing up…wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.” (God’s judgment exposes the one’s deepest desires [whether self-seeking or humble]. God has made His Truth known through creation, conscience, scripture and Christ. Rejecting such truth illustrates disobedience, willfulness, knowledge, and unrighteousness against God.)
Rom.11:30: “Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience.” (Gentile believers once lived apart from knowledge, worship, and covenant privileges serving idols and desires opposed to God’s will. Salvation comes through God’s compassion to those who could not save themselves. Mercy does not excuse sin; mercy rescues sinners and brings them into obedient faith. Israel’s rejection of Jesus as Messiahs leads to mercy for the Gentiles.)
1Pet.2:7-8: “The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. A stone that will make people stumble, a rock that will make them fall.” (Christ is the cornerstone of the foundation of the Christian community. To unbelievers, Christ is an obstacle and stumbling block on which they are destined to fall. Jesus is a stumbling stone for the disobedient.)
[Greek] ἀπείθεια (apeitheia), [Latin] incredulitatem, [Latin] diffidentia: disobedience, unbelief, obstinancy
Eph.2:1-2: “You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you live following the age of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient.” (The Ephesians were following a path of sin, alienation, moral corruption, rebellion against and the elevating of self. Satan, the ruler (prince) of the world, is engaged in a spiritual and moral conflict against God and Christians. These sons of disobedience are spiritually blind, governed by sinful desire, and are unable to free themselves from sin.)
Changing Church teachings for purposes of being ecumenical.
- Pre-Vatican II: The Church of Christ IS the Catholic Church. (“Outside the Church there is NO salvation.” The Church remains as a divine institution SEPARATE from the world.) The supreme law of the Catholic Church is to bring souls into heaven.
- Vatican II: The Church of Christ SUBSISTS in the Catholic Church. Any concept of the Catholic as being necessary for salvation has been minimized or eroded in order to be ecumenical. There begins a new “spirit” of ecumenism accommodating other faiths.
- Synodality: Jesus’ divine Church is becoming transformed into worldly synodal “listening” Church made in the image of man and his lived experiences. The Synodal Church is more interested in MAKING A BETTER WORLD/SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD rather than bringing souls into heaven.
- The Vatican/Synodal Church just celebrated the 60th anniversary of Nostra Aetate. (This is celebrating ecumenism, not bringing in the faithful into the Catholic Church.)
- Synodal ecumenism has become a new cunning HUMAN spirit overtaking the Church.
Disobeying, excluding and ignoring Jesus’ commands to sin no more: (Jn.8:11-12):
- Jesus is often presented as being both infinitely merciful and and infinitely tolerable. Jesus associated with sinners but He did NOT tolerate their sinful behavior.
- Unfortunately, Jn.8:11-12 is rarely mentioned by the Church and clergy. There is NOT enough focus on Jesus’ statements on sin.
- There are clergy who do not mention sin and Jesus’ statements on sin. These clergy, failing in their duty to properly catechize the faithful, are putting many people’s eternal souls in peril.
- The Church instead focuses more on inclusion, tolerance, false compassion rather than on sin, Jesus’ statements on sin, forgiveness, and conversion of heart.
- Jn. 8:12: “Whoever follows Me will NOT walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”, in other words, ===> [Whoever does NOT follow Me will walk in darkness].
Practical atheism: Cardinal Sarah and Pope Benedict XVI warned us about moral relativism and practical atheism [paying lip-service to God and Church teachings]. (This is disobedience and ignoring Church teachings.)
Indifferentism: This is the belief that differences of religious belief are not important. This results from questionable ecumenism resulting in accepting others faith differences. (This is also disobedience against Jesus’ command to make disciples, to teach them, and to bring souls into heaven.)
Conclusion:
Apathy, apathetic, incredible, incredulous, indifferent, indifference, acquiescent, acquiescence, infidel, infidelity, assumption
God’s mercy is much more than one’s disobedience. The age of this world is filled with many forms of disobedience.
Update: The Vatican continues to ignore and pay lip service to the Church’s teachings against homosexuality. Some clergy are even celebrating this lifestyle. As a result, there continues to be a large LGBTQ “outreach”.
The Conciliar/Synodal Church primary mission now to seek ecumenism and to respect others’ faith, to NOT BRING SOULS INTO HEAVEN!
Bishop Robert Boxie claims that there is racism in the Church. He is allegedly gave money to a radical pro-abortion Democrat.
Declaring war with Traditiones Custodes: Cardinal Sarah says we cannot declare war on who prefer the TLM.
Pope Leo’s animosity against Tradition and traditional Catholics: Pope Leo refuses and audience request from for a major traditional Catholic pilgrimage to Rome.
Undermining Jesus’ sinlessness: the German media outlet Katholisch claims that Jesus Christ had “a tendency toward alcohol” and “an impulse control disorder”.
Undermining the Church’s teaching on gender: the St. Gallen diocese hosts a drag show.
Losing the faith in France: priests, parishes, baptisms, marriages, and religious orders have collapsed since 1980. However, traditionalist orders and institutes are growing. Despite the large turnout to receive Pope Leo, France’s faith situation remains uncertain.
Holy Spirit inspired movement toward Tradition and the TLM: the TLM, where allowed, continues to thrive, young adults are attracted to Tradition, Protestants are converting to Church by discovering that the early Church was Catholic, there is a growing number of younger seminarians and priest attracted to Tradition.
The USCCB, more curiously concerned with immigration and environmental issues, are perhaps are less forceful in speaking about spiritual issues, abortion, and pro-life issues.
Disobeying Church vocation practices: a German bishop state that the Church could ordain married man (because the Eastern Catholic Churches do this).
The installation Mass of Archbishop Magri invited an woman Anglican priests to “con-celebrate” the Mass. This is disobedience against Canon law, liturgical norms, and Church teachings.
The Synodal Church, more concerned about inclusion, tolerance, and false compassion, continue to ignore Jesus’s command to sin no more (Jn.8:11). They are disobeying Jesus’ command to SIN NO MORE.
Pope Pius X’s encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis warned us about Modernists who would seek to undermine the Church from within.
“All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics.” Pope Pius V
“Liberal Catholics are the worst enemies of the Catholic Church.” Pope Pius IX
“Liberal Catholics are wolves in sheep’s clothing. You will be called clerical, retrograde, and intolerant.” Pope Pius X
