      From: truecatholicstaff@truecarpentry.org              Im afraid your confused, just as this Pope was.       this is not true what is said here. every repentant.       No, afraid not. Not every one no. In the case of       blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, the person cannot go to Heaven       period. It does not matter if He or She repents of it.              And second, in the case of sin, the sin is not the sin if it       is done as the in such to get back what was stolen of. So you see,       if you steal what is rightfully yours, it is not a sin. Same as when       Saint Paul, ate the bread in the temple because he was hungry. It was       not sacrilegious. So when they keep to sin, in some cases, its not       true. And when the gas man at the gas pump gets all his gasoline       stolen, whoever stole it, did no sin no. For they likely have paid for       it prior to taking it back, for what is overcharged with usary, because       usary, is mortal sin yes, and those corporations that push 666, and keep       to sin in       multiple usary, Do not go to Heaven no, those sins are not repented       of. And those they steal from, have every right to take it back. The       same way it was taken from them. So       you see, sometimes, sin is not really sin. Its reparation that is       forced from a thief such as a robber. GW Bush is one of those Robbers,       same as 911 was and is still in relation to the euro, a false document.        Its to bad, if they cannot understand, or you cannot understand it,       that when Judith cut off the head of Holerferns. It was not a sin.       STUPID. It was necessary to preserve the fifth commandment. And God       knows it, and He explained it, (Law) in His Holy Bible. Stupid people,       that do not know who or when to switch gears, is their own fault for not       being true Catholic. READ IT AGAIN idiot.              http://www.truecarpentry.org/webfolders/web7/catechismSC/Ten%20C       mmandments/5th%20com/Fifth.htm              On 11/23/2019 10:50 PM, Rich scribbled:       > God has not promised us tomorrow       >       > If we knew at what time we were to depart from this world, we would be       > able to select a season for pleasure and another for repentance.
