Choo Thomas false prophet

Choo Thomas was a Korean-American and an author of the book "Heaven is so Real" In 1992, she became a Protestant Christian. In 1996, she stated that she was taken to Heaven, whose story published in a book. Choo Thomas died in April 2013 at 74. But these explanations, and what she says she saw in Heaven, are contrary to the faith of the Church.

A list of the doctrinal errors in the alleged visions of Choo Thomas on Heaven is the following

1) Choo Thomas claims that all animals that inhabited the Earth, as our pets will be with us in heaven, suggesting that they have an eternal life, an immortal soul and the hope of the resurrection.

She writes:

“It is reassuring to know that animals will live with us in paradise. So many people wonder if their pets will be in heaven, and I am happy to let them know that heaven is a place of beautiful flowers, peaceful animals and glorious radiance where people and animals alike will never experience pain, hardship, death or suffering ever again.”

Answer:

Animals have souls but not immortal. When animals die they cease to exist, they do not have an immortal soul like human beings. They have no hope of resurrection. It is clear that animals are not going to resurrect because they don´t have an immortal and eternal soul.

But by their mere existence they bless God and give him glory.

What the church says about it:

2416 Animals are God's creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory. Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals.

Imagine if all the animals that have existed were to Heaven! dogs, cats, lions, dolphins, whales, octopus, pigs, cockroaches, viruses, bacterias, scorpions, snakes, giraffes, elephants, beetles, as well as the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the fish eaten by humans.

2) Choo Thomas says that in Heaven the animals will never experience pain, hardship, death or suffering ever again.

She writes:

“Animals will never experience pain, hardship, death or suffering ever again.”

But then she says in her book that death exists, since we have to kill animals to eat them in Heaven, because every time she went to Heaven with Jesus both fished fish to roast them and then eat them.

“What are all the fish for?” I asked. “This is food for the kingdom,” the Lord replied. It made me happy to know that we will be eating fruit and fish in heaven.”

“Next, I walked with Him beyond the rocks, where I noticed many large cooking areas that had silver-colored ovens built into the rocks. Atop the ovens were cooking grilles with oval-shaped plates and silver forks. The Lord simply pushed a button on the side of one oven and a fire began. He then assumed the role of a cook, right in front of me. He grilled the fish until both sides of it were brown.”

Apparently she never read the following:

“and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Rev. 21:4)

3) She states that in heaven we will have a physical body and the need to eat, sleep and use the bathroom. (even when it still has not happened the resurrection the righteous and unrighteous)

She writes:

“The Lord picked an oval-shaped purple fruit and handed it to me. Then He did the same with a round, deep-red fruit. I ate them, but I could not taste them very well. I reciprocated by picking a small, round, pink fruit for the Lord to eat.

At the top of the stairs, I walked into a bedroom where a bed stood that was grander and larger than any king-sized bed on earth.

The Lord took His seat on one of the velvet chairs as I walked up the majestic stairway, savoring every single moment in my mansion. The bathroom had a silver bathtub that was decorated with precious jewels of every color. I sang as I walked around the interior of my mansion. I felt like a princess in fairyland.”

Is it true that in Heaven we will have to eat?

This is merely impossible, because in Heaven there will be no more hunger, no more pain and suffering. Heaven is absolute perfection, so every human need will be satisfied fully and permanently without having to work, defecate, sleep and will not need any physical and material things to survive.

The Scripture says the following:

"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost". (Romans 14:17)

“‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:4)

“Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat.” (Rev. 7:16)

When Jesus was on earth in His resurrected body, he ate with his disciples because he already had a body. (Luke 24:38-43)

Souls in Heaven still do not have bodies because they have not yet been resurrected. That will happen in the general resurrection when righteous and unrighteous will be resurrected, "those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned."(John 5:29)

Souls in heaven are only spirits. Spirits can not eat. Maybe in the general resurrection our resurrected bodies will be able to eat. We don´t know.

About resurrection of the dead.

998 Who will rise? All the dead will rise, "those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment." (Jn 5:29; cf. Dan 12:2)

1001 When? Definitively "at the last day," "at the end of the world." (Jn 6: 39-44; 11:24) Indeed, the resurrection of the dead is closely associated with Christ's Parousia:

“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.” (1 Thess 4:16)

4) Choo Thomas states that all people who did not know Jesus will go to Hell, although they have been good people.

She writes in her book:

“they were doomed to spend all eternity being scorched and burned as they endeavored to escape the flames of hell. “Who are these people?” I asked. “My daughter, these people did not know Me.”

“Lord, what about my parents?” I asked. “I know they weren‟t saved, but they were good people.” “I‟m sorry, my daughter. There is nothing I can do for those who do not know Me.”

May members of other religions different from the Jesus Christ achieve eternal salvation?

Only Protestant Christians have that belief that they alone are going to be saved but Catholic Christians have another belief very different from them:

If you do good and you are a good person, even without having known Jesus Christ you can be saved.

The Church claims that members of other faiths can obtain eternal salvation:

847 Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.

843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as "a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.

846 Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.

Protestants generally believe that "personal salvation is achieved through faith in Christ Jesus", and that those who did not have the opportunity to know Jesus are going to hell. The Catholic Church has a different view.

The universal salvific will of God:

First of all underlines the universal salvific will of God, which consists of two aspects:

1 -God loves all men.

“And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?” (Jonah 4:11)

"Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." (Acts 14: 16-17)

2 -God wants all men to be saved:

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4)

Faith in Christ is a condition for salvation only to those who have the opportunity to know enough to Christ, not to the others who do not have this opportunity and that they are most men.

In this regard, the vision they have Protestants on salvation is very small, full of fanaticism to not considering other parts of the Bible and actual situation of mankind, who do not have the opportunity of an adequate knowledge of Christ .

Just think of Japan, India and all communist countries where the practice of any religion is prohibited. All these people who in fact does not know and does not believe in Christ, are they condemned? Are all Indians of Mexico and America who lived and died before the arrival of the missionaries condemned for not believing in Christ? Of course not.

The Bible says that in every man, God has put some wisdom so we can find Him and love Him although it is a difficult quest.

“For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.

Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks.” (Rom. 1:19-20)

“Or when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law. They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them” (Rom 2,14-15).

"So that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us. For 'In him we live and move and have our being,' as even some of your poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring. (Acts17:27-28b).

So the Catholic Church, having a deeper understanding of the Bible, has a broader view of salvation, salvation is open to all men of all times provided they act according to their conscience. Faith in Christ is a condition to be saved to the extent that one has the opportunity to know Him in an appropriate manner. If someone does not have this opportunity it can be saved trying to live according to its conscience.

The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity, acts in a salvific way in Christians as non-Christians and does it in a mysterious way.

But we know that whoever that is saved, is saved by the merits and grace of Christ, not by their own, since the will of God that all men be saved, God´s will is offered us and in fact is true, by the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ and through the merits of his passion, death and resurrection.

This does not mean that those who belong to the Church are saved automatically by the fact of belonging to it. Our cooperation is necessary to the graces that come us from Christ through his Church. 

5) She states that most of her family is in Hell for not having been Protestant Christians, even though they were good people:

She writes:

“Through the smoky haze, I could determine that the person was a woman. Then I heard her voice. She was speaking in my native Korean tongue, and she began to scream: “Hot! Hot!”

I immediately recognized my mother! She stretched out her right hand and waved it at me, saying, “So hot, so hot!”

Next I saw my father, my stepmother and a close friend who had died when she was only nineteen. They all were in hell!”

To which Jesus replies:

“I know your parents and friends were good people in many ways, but they were not saved. That‟s why this is the only place for them. It is here that they will have to spend eternity.”

What a way to condemn all her family to hell for not having been Christian Protestants!

6) She says that while she is alive, Jesus would make her a millionaire and would give her a huge house and a red luxurious automobile.

She writes:

“The entrance to the yard was a huge gate. A bright, shiny red car was parked on the left side of the garage. It was a luxurious automobile. The vision evaporated and the Lord spoke to me: “Did you like what you saw?” “It was beautiful, Lord.” “It will be yours.”

Also she says that the more money you give in tithes, the more you will be blessed financially in this life by God:

“For a long time Roger and I had been tithing from our incomes and giving offerings to various ministries. When I could, I would help every ministry, but I had never expected such results from our obedience. God was so wonderful. Truly, I was unable to contain the blessings He poured upon us. “Daughter, are you worried that I will not come soon--because I am giving you this house and car?”

7) She claims that when she is a millionaire, she will end hunger in the world (even though she died).

She writes:

"I told the Lord that when He makes me rich, like He has promised that I will be, there will be no hungry children in this world."

No doubt it is a lie, because there are still hungry children, and she is dead.

8) She says that whoever does not tithe will go to Hell and also that those who do not give it, will not receive any blessing from God. (It´s like saying: The more money you give, the more God's blessings you will receive)

She writes:

“Many Christians are poor and have many problems in their lives because their hearts are not right with Me and they don‟t tithe. Any Christian who doesn‟t tithe will not be blessed because they love money more than My Word. Those who love money more than My Word will never see My kingdom. You already know where they will be at the end.”

Protestants say a Christian who does not tithe 10% of everything he earns are robbing God, and many others say that people who do not tithe will go to Hell. 

The tithe consisted according to the Law of Moses in giving 10% of your products in animals or food once a year, which were taken to the storehouse. The tithe, that belongs to the old covenant, was abolished by the New Covenant, and the tithe was given once a year, not every month, fortnight or week (Deuteronomy 14: 22-29)

Tithing is an ancient law of the Old Testament. In the New Testament does not exist this law.

“These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL on Mount Sinai.” (Lev. 27,34)

“Remember the teachings of my servant Moses, the rules and regulations that I gave to him at Horeb for all Israel.” (Mal. 4,4)

According to this biblical quote, tithing is a commandment for the people of Israel. Christians do not belong to the Old Testament but the New Testament.

At the same time, God promised to establish a new Covenant:

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah” (Jer. 31,31).

“Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” (Lk. 22,20).

As Christians we are not obliged to pay the tithe, since it was a mandate for the people of Israel.

Tithes were for God, but were intended to support Levites, strangers, orphans and widows.

The following biblical text confirms this:

“When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow” (Deut 26,12-13).

The tithe was abolished by the new covenant:

Hebrews 8:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Hebrews 7:18-19 New International Version (NIV)

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 8:7-8 New International Version (NIV)

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

Galatians 3:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

Galatians 3:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

The tithe belongs to the law of Moses which is the old covenant, weak, useless, imperfect, under a curse that has to disappear, and that has been canceled with the Lord's death on the cross and the arrival of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost it was a covenant made with the people of Israel, not with us, the Christians.

In any case, if someone wants to give it because it is in the Law of Moses, he should not forget that the Apostle James says that the Law was an all or nothing; a person was not allowed to choose what he liked about it - as if it were a religious menu - and leave aside what he did not like it.

James 2:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

If a Christian wishes to follow the Law, he must be circumcised, keep the Sabbath, sacrifice animals, not eat blood, do not eat fish without scales, pork or shellfish, stone those who break the Law, celebrate all Jewish holidays, etc. Or all or nothing.

You can not fulfill one thing and leave another because you become guilty of everything else.

Matthew 5:18 New International Version (NIV)

18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Galatians 5:2-4 New International Version (NIV)

2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Why do you say no to circumcision and yes to tithing?

Galatians 5:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

Paul is so upset with those who have wanted to mix the law of Moses with the new covenant, which advises them that instead of cutting the foreskin only, mutilate.

Asking believers to bring their tithes into the storehouse, that God is going to open the windows of heaven, the much vaunted passage of Malachi 3:10 are mixing the old covenant with the new covenant annulling the blood of Jesus.

By the way, Malachi 3: 8-10 refers to the sons of Jacob, not the Christians, in fact the passage starts in Malachi 3:6:

"Because of this, you sons of Jacob said: What have we stolen from you?"

We Christians are not sons of Jacob, besides the tithe was taken to the storehouse which is a barn and not to the pockets of the pastors.

Galatians 2:21 New International Version (NIV)

21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

Did Christ die uselessly? Does fulfilling the Law of Moses make you saved?

CHRISTIANS LIVE UNDER THE GRACE, NOT UNDER THE LAW

So, for what served the old covenant?

Galatians 3:19 New International Version (NIV)

19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.

Romans 3:20 New International Version (NIV)

 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

Romans 10:4 New International Version (NIV)

4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Galatians 3:23 New International Version (NIV)

23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.

Ephesians 2:15 New International Version (NIV)

“by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace”

When Jesus tells the scribes and the Pharisees in Matthew 23:23 that should continue keeping the Law and tithing, he is talking to Jews who were still under the Law of Moses not to us who are Gentiles.

Galatians 4:4-5 New International Version (NIV)

“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

Who taught you that a Christian has to tithe, circumcised or keep the Sabbath? Paul tells the Galatians foolish twice and the apostle Peter hypocrite for wanting to return to the law of Moses.

Galatians 3:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?”

The influence of the Law had been so strong that even the Apostle Peter was confused and had let himself be influenced by the group of James who insisted on keeping the Law of Moses, Paul calls them fanatics of the circumcision.

Galatians 2:11-15 New International Version (NIV)

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

ONLY JESUS SAVES, NOT THE TITHE:

John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hebrews 7:26 New International Version (NIV)

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

Hebrews 7:12 New International Version (NIV)

 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also

Hebrews 7:22-25 King James Version (KJV)

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

1 Peter 1:18-19 New International Version (NIV)

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as SILVER or GOLD that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Galatians 1:8 New International Version (NIV)

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The law of Moses ended, and with it ended the tithe, the Levites, animal sacrifices, killing adulteresses by stoning, set aside menstruating women, do not eat pork, the circumcision, etc.

Philippians 3:5-9 New International Version (NIV)

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ.

The apostle Paul says that now that we have Jesus, the Law and the tithe are rubbish for him and that he lost everything: this is for those who are still seeking material blessings in the new covenant. True wealth and abundance is in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

John 7:37 New International Version (NIV)

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

John 10:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The priesthood of Aaron had the tribe of Levi that charged the tithe, killed the animals for the sacrifice for the sins of the people and also stoned those who did not comply with the Law of Moses. The Melchizedek priesthood has salvation and the Holy Spirit as a guarantee because the Lord paid on the cross for the sins of the world, it means that animal sacrifices and everything else ended.

The current Jews no longer tithe

The tithe was intended for the sustenance of the priests and Levites, of the tribe of Levi, who for dedicating themselves to the service of God had not received their parcel in the distribution of the land.

The Jews do not pay tithing, and the explanation they give is very logical and easy to understand: "The tithe, which belongs to the Law and which we strive to fulfill, commands the Israelites to tithe for the maintenance of the Temple of Jerusalem and the Levitical priests, and today there is no temple or Levitical priests, so we could not ask for a tithe in the synagogues, where there is also no priest of the tribe of Levi, but simply a rabbi."

The favorite passage of the unscrupulous pastors who have imposed the tithe in their churches is undoubtedly Malachi 3: 8-10 "Will a man rob God, for you have stolen from me, and you have said," What have we stolen from you? "In your tithes and offerings, you are cursed with a curse, because you, the entire nation, have stolen me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse and have food in my house."

The passage actually begins in Malachi 3: 6 where God directs the message to the sons of Jacob

Malachi 3: 6 "Therefore, you sons of Jacob… you said, What have we stolen from you?"

Believers are children of God, the Bible never calls us "sons of Jacob".

The pentecostal pastors knavishly introduce him into the church that is under Grace and not under the Law of Moses and insult and intimidate Christians, to take advantage of something that does not belong to them, because the pastors are not Levitical priests nor ordered according to the rigor of the Law, nor do they live in the temple of Jerusalem. Therefore, if someone is robbing God, they are the pastors and not the congregation.

God disposed in his earthly people, Israel, that the tribe of Levi could not have property, for this reason he ordered the rest of the nation to support them with 10% of their income, so that the Levitical priests could dedicate themselves to the service of the tabernacle. A job that they had to carry out from the age of 25, and that they had to retire by the age of 50 (Nm.8: 24-25).

Jesus rebukes the Pharisees

Luke 11:42

42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.”

The Lord is rebuking the Pharisees (who are Israelites and not Christians), to reproach their hypocrisy for worrying about the tithe, and not for God's justice and love.

This sounds very familiar to us, right? In the parallel passage of Matthew he says to these hypocritical Pharisees, representatives of the Law. And it is curious to see many religious leaders of our day, how they strive to identify with these hypocrites in order to collect the tithe.

Today there is no temple in Israel, there are no Levitical priests. All the records of the genealogical archives that were kept in the temple were destroyed in 70 AD. The Rabbis of today do not charge tithes because they, knowing the Law of Moses, know that only the Levites could do it, and if they lived in the temple of Jerusalem.

The Lord Jesus Christ himself never received the tithe, and it did not correspond to him, because he was not of the tribe of Levi, but of the tribe of Judah. Hebrews 7:14 " For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.”

The same could be said of all the churches mentioned in the New Testament, none of them received the tithe, because that is not for the church. Today we must offer up freely as each purposed in his heart.

2 Corinthians 9:7 New International Version (NIV)

7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 8:12-14 New International Version (NIV)

12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality.

In the New Covenant that the Lord Jesus Christ made with the church, in the Grace, we are all priests (Rev.1: 6) "and you have made a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father" (1Peter 2: 9) "you are a lineage chosen, royal priesthood." It would be unbiblical for a man to claim the right to be a priest to collect tithes.

Unfortunately today the leaders of the churches that have moved away from the divine ordinances, have tied that human imposition of the tithe with strong chains of superstition and human greed for personal profit, contrary to the disposition of God.

Pastors who charge in their churches tithes are robbing God, for they never corresponded to them that benefit. The Lord commanded it for the Levites, because they were not allowed to own any property. And today those who live illegitimately from the tithe, are those who have the greatest and best properties.

OFFERINGS

Today one must give according to his possibilities for the sustenance of the Church:

2 Corinthians 8:12-14 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

12 with whatever contributions you have. Since you are willing to do this, remember that people are accepted if they give what they are able to give. God doesn’t ask for what they don’t have.13 I don’t mean that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it’s a matter of striking a balance. 14 At the present time, your surplus fills their need so that their surplus may fill your need. In this way things balance out.

2 Corinthians 9:7 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

7 Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn’t be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver.

We know one who was not interested in the poor but in money, just like the pastors who love money today:

John 12: 5-6 New International Version (NIV)

5 "Why was not this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages. 6 He did not say this because I have cared about the poor but because he was a thief

The devil also has his message and it is that you seek your own good and not that of others:

2 Peter 2:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

“But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.”

1 Timothy 6:3-10 New International Version (NIV)

“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

9) Choo Thomas argues in her book that George Bush would save many souls from Hell:

She writes:

“The Lord had told me during the preceding national election year in the United States that George Bush was His chosen man for the last days president. I knew why it was so difficult to complete the election process with so many disputed votes and other problems. This was because Satan knew that George Bush would make a difference to the Christians of this world, and the enemy was so against him.”

“The Lord told me that through President Bush He would lead many souls to himself in this last day, and the enemy would try very hard to win.”

Apparently she does not know what George Bush did during his presidency like attacking Iraq and Afghanistan under the justification that they had weapons of mass destruction, which were never found. In addition to his alleged involvement in the attack of 9/11.

10) She argues that the rapture so named for the Protestants will be pre-tribulational.

“The air was filled with white, moving objects. As the vision clarified, I saw people wearing white robes flying throughout the air. People were popping out of the earth everywhere and flying up into the air. I saw the people who did not ascend with the others.”

The rapture as suggested by the Protestants, where Jesus will take Protestants in body and soul into Heaven, while Protestants are one half of the world's population, all of this before the Last Judgment, is a misinterpretation of Scriptures. 

PRELIMINARY ERROR:

What Pentecostal Protestants known as rapture is a newly created Pentecostal doctrine.

The passages they use are these:

1 Thess. 4: 15-17.

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until THE COMING OF THE LORD will by no means precede those who are asleep. (the dead)

16 For the Lord Himself WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God (eveyone will hear him). And the dead in Christ WILL RESURRECT first.

17 Then WE WHO ARE ALIVE and REMAIN (those who are alive when Christ comes) shall be caught up, TOGETHER WITH those who resurrected first, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall ALWAYS be with the Lord.

IN THIS PASSAGE it tells us that dead believers will resurrect and will go to Heaven together with living believers.

Compare with:

-1 Corinthians 15:51-53

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep «die», but we (THE LIVING) shall all be changed, (from a corrupt body to an uncorrupted body)

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and THE DEAD shall be RAISE incorruptible, and we (the living) shall be changed. (our bodies will be transformed from one corrupt body to one incorrupt body)

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

In both texts there is no talk of any rapture, it is said that at the Second Coming of Christ, believers will resurrect and go to Heaven together with those who are alive, both alive and dead will receive a body.

Therefore in the rapture will resurrect the dead and the living will be transformed (having a new body, from one corrupt body to one incorrupt body)

Why what they call "rapture" no protestant false prophet mentions the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the bodies of the living which will take place in the "rapture", where both, the living and the resurrected dead will go to Heaven?

Why any pentecostal Protestant mention this? Why any false prophet has seen the resurrection of the dead that will take place in the rapture?

The answer is because they do not read the Scriptures and interpret them in their own way under the inspiration of the devil.

BEFORE PROCEEDING:

 - We as Catholics to the meeting of the good ones with Christ in heaven during the Second Coming is not called "rapture" by us but only "Second Coming" where we know that implicitly that good ones will go to heaven and bad ones to Hell.

ERRORS ABOUT THE MEETING OF THE GOOD ONES WITH CHRIST IN HEAVEN (called rapture by Protestants)

FIRST ERROR:

She argues that the rapture so named for the Protestants will be pre-tribulational. That is, she says that Jesus will come to Earth to take a group to Heaven, while another group will be left on Earth for seven years during the Great Tribulation, after which Jesus will come for 3rd time to Earth.
What protestants call rapture before the great tribulation is an error. Read the bible:

Matthew 24:29-41

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

The passage above, speaks of how Christ will come to take the good ones to heaven and if we read later on he also come to take the bad ones to Hell:"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 24:48-51)
 

SECOND ERROR:

Pentecostals say that the church, that is, the saints will not be persecuted during the great persecution, but Scripture tells us otherwise:

“And it was given unto him to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” (Rev 13:7)

“I beheld, and the same horn made WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and prevailed against them;” (Daniel 7:21)

“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7:25)

“And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wondrously, and shall prosper and perform, and shall destroy the mighty and THE HOLY PEOPLE.” (Daniel 8:24)

If there will be a rapture, this will not be before the great tribulation, but later.

THIRD ERROR: About the belief that Pentecostal Protestants won't go through the great tribulation:
Matthew 24:9

9 “Then they will deliver you up to TRIBULATION and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

 John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have TRIBULATION; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Acts 14:22

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many TRIBULATIONS enter the kingdom of God.”

2 Thessalonians 1:4-5

4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and TRIBULATIONS that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

Revelation 1:9

9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the TRIBULATION and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

FOURTH ERROR:
About the coming wrath.

Pentecostals say the Rapture will happen because no saint will suffer the wrath of God, which they interpret as if they would not go through the Final Judgment, and that it will only be to the wicked, but the Bible says Final Judgment will be for the good ones and wicked ones. Here comes the banter.

The coming wrath refers exactly to eternal damnation, the wrath to come also refers to the final judgment, the wicked will go to hell, the good one will be rewarded with Heaven, the coming wrath is not refer to their abduction where the good are taken to Heaven to not suffer on Earth while the wicked suffer the wrath of God in the great tribulation.

According to the Fathers of the Church the coming wrath is referred to eternal damnation.Let's check:

John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them (eternal damnation) ". We see in this case that, as the "eternal life" is eternal, so the "wrath of God" will be eternal.

Romans 5:9:  Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath (from eternal damnation) through him!

Ephesians 5: 6: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath (eternal damnation) comes on those who are disobedient.

1 Thessalonians 5: 9: For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

FIFTH ERROR: The Final trumpet.

Bible says:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Cor. 15:52)

This passage tells us that the rapture so named by Protestants coincides with a fact called the last trump, ie the last trumpet, implying that after that there will be no other trumpets.

But pre-tribulationists (Pentecostals and recent sects) say that there will be more trumpets, after that last trumpet, after literal seven years according to them, when Jesus comes again.

Referring to the 2nd Coming The Bible tells us:

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:29-31)

And other passages that tell us that at the Second Coming of Christ will sound the trumpet, as Revelation 11:15.

Pretribulationists err in saying that there will be more trumpets after pre-tribulation rapture.

SIXTH ERROR:

Pentecostal Protestants say their rapture will occur before the great tribulation, but the Bible tells us that Christ will not come until the apostasy comes and the Antichrist is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4:

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him,

2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as if from us that the Day of Christ is at hand.

3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day JESUS WILL NOT COME unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction (the Antichrist).

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Therefore, Jesus will not come unless the Antichrist is manifested and the apostasy comes. That is, during or after the tribulation, but not before.

The false doctrine of "pre-tribulation rapture" will not happen, Protestants make from an event, two different events, if there will be a rapture will be together with the Second Coming of Christ, after the great tribulation and the manifestation of the antichrist.

SEVENTH ERROR: Believing that the rapture will happen 7 years before the second coming of Christ.

The Bible tells us that during the harvest that will happen at the end of the world, the tares will be separated from the wheat at the same time, the tares will be thrown into the fire and wheat will be put in the barn (taken to heaven).
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (In Matthew 24 is said the angels will gather the good ones to be taken and the wicked ones to be left, this refers that the wicked will go to hell and the good ones will be taken to Heaven, it will be on the day of the harvest)

Later Bible says:
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Conclusion:

During the harvest that will happen at the end of the world, the tares will be separated from the wheat at the same time, the tares will be thrown into the fire and wheat will be put in the barn (taken to heaven).

Nowhere is it said that the wheat will be gathered seven years before, for Jesus himself said:
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The parable of the tares and wheat made on the ground that false Pentecostal doctrine of a pre-trib rapture or that the good ones will go to heaven seven years before the second coming of Christ.

It must be said that Pentecostals (dispensationalists) are the only ones who know the hour and the day that will be the second coming of Christ, they all tell me that it will happen 7 years after their pre-tribulational rapture.

EIGTH ERROR:

Pretribulationists (ie, Pentecostals) cite Matthew 24:27 refers to the 2nd Coming of Christ and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 refers to the rapture but both texts use the same word to show the 2nd Coming of Lord, the word PAROUSIA.

In both texts is being talked about of the same Coming, no to distinct comings.

What happens is that no Protestant examines the Greek texts. Read them and search the Greek word Parousia here:

http://biblehub.com/text/1_thessalonians/4-15.htm

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-27.htm

“For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming (Parousia) of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep.” (1 Thes 4:15)

" For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be." (Matthew 24:27)

If there will be a rapture will be post-tribulational, though we as Catholic Christians know the rapture as Second Coming or Parousia, the resurrection of the dead and the Last Judgment (the good will be taken (raptured) to heaven and the wicked to hell).

In the rapture of Protestants there will be also resurrection of the dead, Second Coming and final judgment (although of the final judgment are opposed because they hate to read Matthew 25: 31-33)

Most of the times that the Bible speaks of the "Coming" of Christ, the Greek word: "Parousia" is used.

what they do not know is that they should call to their rapture "Parousia" and to the Second Coming "Parousia" too, what they only know is that the Parousia only refers to the 2nd Coming of Christ, because nobody has told them that in Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 (which used to demonstrate the rapture) also used the Greek word: Parousia.

Everything is too sad, they have made the Parousia an endless number of comings, when the Bible speaks of only one coming. We Christians believe in the resurrection of the dead, ... that Jesus Christ will come again in glory (Second Coming), to judge the living and the dead (final judgment) and his kingdom will have no end.

Other texts that Pentecostals mention referring to the rapture, when in fact refer to the Second Coming of Christ are:

Find the word Parousia in these passages:

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-37.htm

                                                                       

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-39.htm

Matthew 24:
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming (PAROUSIA) of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming (PAROUSIA) of the Son of man be.

The Bible says that the Parousia is the same as the rapture, so named for the Pentecostals, if we read Matthew 24: 37-39 the Coming of Christ will be as is said, no one knows the day or the hour, he will come suddenly, etc, but anyway, no Protestant investigates, just talk and talk and do not even revise the texts. Parousia = the 2nd Coming of Christ. In the Bible only it speaks of a Parousia, not two Parousias, as claimed by pretribulationists and mid-Tribulationists.

NINETH ERROR: Denying that the rapture is a coming.

According to the scheme Protestant of the rapture, besides the First Coming, which was in the Incarnation, still missing two comings of Christ: one to take his people in the Rapture (Second Coming) and another coming at the end of time (Third Coming). But Christ only revealed that there would be a Second Coming at the end of the world. 

Although Protestants say their rapture is not a Coming, are the following verses that according to them talk about their rapture where the greek word used is "Parousia" :

“For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming (Parousia) of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep.” (1 Thes 4:15)

Matthew 24: 37-41 tells us:

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the Coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the Coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Pentecostals believe that this passage refers to the rapture, when in fact it refers to the Parousia.

See the original texts in Greek where the word Parousia is used:

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-37.htm

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-39.htm

The text refers to the same Coming of the son of man, not to distinct comings. Do pentecostal protestants believe in two Parousias?

The true interpretation of this passage refers to the Parousia (2nd Coming) and the Final Judgment, where just and the unjust will rise, some to everlasting life and some to eternal damnation.

“the one shall be taken, and the other left” It refers to the separation of the sheep and the goats. Therefore, it also speaks of Judgment.

When it says that one will be left and another will be taken does not mean that they will be carried off to the air, but one will be taken to the glory of God, and the one is left does not mean it will stay on earth, but he will go to hell.

The Church teaches than in Christ's Second Coming (Parousia), Jesus will come in glory to judge the living and the dead (Final Judgement) and his kingdom will have no end.

TENTH ERROR:

On the two resurrections of which the Bible speaks 

An interpretation of the New Testament is the understanding that there will be two resurrections. Revelation tells us:

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (Rev 20:6)

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished” (Rev 20:5)

Despite this, there are various interpretations, according to the post-tribulational position there will be two physical resurrections, separated by a literal thousand years (one in the second Coming together with the Rapture, another finished the literal 1,000 years)

According to pre-tribulationists (Pentecostals and recent sects) there will be three physical resurrections (one in the Rapture at the beginning of the tribulation, the other in the Second Coming at the end of the tribulation, the last one when the literal 1,000 years finish).

Amillennialists (Catholic and Old Protestant churches) we see that Revelation 20: 5-6. has evidence that there are only two resurrections, (the first resurrection would be in a spiritual sense, according to Paul and John as participation at this time, in the resurrection of Christ by faith and baptism, according to Colossians 2:12 and Colossians 3: 1, as occurring within the millennium interpreted as an indefinite period between the foundation of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ, the second resurrection would be the general resurrection that would occur at the time of Jesus' return)

Blessed are those who are part of the first resurrection, that is, those who have been baptized and are part of the Church, because reign with Jesus in heaven in this thousand-year period understood as an indefinite period between the founding of the Church and the Second Coming.

Amillennialists only we believe there will be a physical resurrection (second resurrection) and a spiritual resurrection (the first resurrection). The first resurrection is as the Scriptures tell us:

“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are RISEN WITH HIM through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” (Colossians 2:12)

“If ye then be RISEN WITH CHRIST, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Colossians 3:1)

The second resurrection is as the Scriptures tell us:

“and the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished” It refers to the dead in body, which will rise, some to everlasting life, others to eternal damnation.

Protestant sects and Pentecostal evangelicals believe there will be three resurrections, the three of them will be physical according to their doctrine, the first is of the righteous at the rapture before the tribulation, the second will be to the righteous who died during the tribulation, after seven literal years; and the third will be the resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous who died under the reign of a literal thousand years as well as the resurrection of the unjust of all time.

I doubt that very few Pentecostals know their own doctrine, well ... it is the latest sect with just a century of life, which is destroying the world to preach false doctrines as giving 10% of your income every month, the pre-tribulational rapture and fundamentalism or hatred towards the true Church of Christ.

Pentecostals should read more about the founder of their doctrine, John Nelson Darby. The creator and inventor of the rapture before the tribulation as the inventor of the dispensationalist doctrine (dispensationalism), doctrine that every Pentecostal church follows.

To learn more about the interpretation of Revelation read the "City of God" Book XX of St. Augustine.

Conclusion:

Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead, not only to the dead.

The resurrection of the dead, "of the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15), will precede the Last Judgment.

-John 5:28-29

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the RESURRECTION of life; and they that have done evil, unto the RESURRECTION of damnation.

-Matthew 25:31-46

31 When the Son of man shall COME in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

All the times that the Bible speaks of the coming of Christ all refer to the same and unique coming of Christ that has not yet occurred.

Catholic Christians believe that Jesus Christ will return for the second time to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

Those who believe that the supposed rapture will occur before the Great Tribulation of Antichrist think that only bad people will suffer this time of persecution. If this were true, then the Antichrist would not have someone to pursue because all the faithful would be with Christ out of this world!

As I said the Bible tells us that Christ will not come until the apostasy comes first and the Antichrist is manifested: Read again 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4:

Do you think that if an alleged rapture of the good ones occurred before the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist would have anyone to pursue?

For all this, the Church condemns the severity of this doctrinal error manifested by Protestant Christians and some false prophets.

To complement my article about the Rapture, read these two magnificent sources:

http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-rapture

http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/do-catholics-believe-in-the-rapture

11) Choo Thomas argues that the alleged Rapture of the Church would happen in 2009, as she claimed on her website.

She writes:

“I was certain the rapture would happen in 2009 but it did not and I was very, very disappointed.  During the first week of 2010 the Lord explained to me that the rapture was supposed to have happened in 2009 but He had delayed it for only a twinkling of an eye.” 

No doubt she is a false prophet who gives dates and never met.

12) Choo Thomas testifies her testimony as true, using the name of Jesus, and in this way does not raise any doubt that her alleged vision of heaven and hell is real and not a lie.

She writes:

“Every word in this book is true. The words of Jesus have been transcribed exactly as He said them to me.”

The second commandment forbids use the name of Jesus in vain, Choo Thomas uses the name of God to testify that her testimony is true.

What a way to consolidate her story and make it look like it's real. Only an unbeliever and ignorant is able to accept as true the testimony of Choo Thomas and all slander and defamation against the faith of the Church.

CONCLUSION:

In my humble and pious opinion the supposed revelation of Heaven to Choo Thomas can not be from Jesus Christ. The many serious doctrinal errors described above are more than sufficient to show that the alleged private revelation to Choo Thomas is false. She was not taken by Jesus to hell or to heaven, and Jesus would not present such serious doctrinal errors to her as if these were true.

Her statements about hell are based on their own imagination that want to take people away from the true gospel, teaching falsehoods about the true doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Heaven and hell are real, but not like some false prophets describe them.

-In Hell only exists hate to God, so souls do not love and not cry to God for forgiveness and mercy.

-The souls in hell are not punished by demons, but for the righteousness of God. It is God who punishes both souls and demons with the horrors of eternal fire.

-Satan does not rule hell, but God does. God has power in hell, and the devil is not allowed to come and go at will from Hell to tempt men, but is subject to the will of God.
 

"The demons SUFFER the torment of fire, even when, by Divine permission, they LEAVE the confines of hell and roam about on earth to TEMPT humanity." -Catholic encyclopedia. 

CHARACTERISTICS OF FALSE PROPHETS:

Most of what they say have some truth, to confuse and to lead the believer to error, to drag him to the sects or to hate God, the believer know not the true Jesus Christ, but a Christ who preach false prophets as true but it is not.

Satan uses truth to induce to the error and lies. Christianity is now living the most devastating crisis in its history because of the false prophets and their lies.

Many Protestants will say: False prophets have done many miracles  !

Matthew 7:22-23

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

FALSE PROPHETS CONDEMNED

Ezekiel 13:1-9 

1.The word of the Lord came to me:

² “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’

³ Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

⁴ Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel.

⁵ You have not gone up into the breaches, or built up a wall for the house of Israel, that it might stand in battle in the day of the Lord.

⁶ They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the Lord,’ when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word.

⁷ Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, ‘Declares the Lord,’ although I have not spoken?”

⁸ Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, I am against you, declares the Lord God.

⁹ My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are many other false prophets which are Mary K Baxter, Bill Wiese, Angelica Zambrano, 7 Columbian Youths, Ricardo Cid, Jennifer Perez, Pastor Yong-Doo Kim, among others, who say they were taken to heaven and hell but manifest serious doctrinal errors against the faith of the Church.
