We went over this once before, Cup. Yes, the Catholic Church recognizes the Old Testament and reads from it at Mass.

Thank you, freegratis. for reading my post & agreeing that the book of Revelation is indeed God-breathed & almost universally recognized as Scripture of Christians even from the beginning of the second century AD & forward.

The direct chain of disciples of the Apostle John & some of them recognized across Christiandom at that time verified it as such & assisted in its distribution to the various churches, especially the seven addressed in Revelation itself.

And thank you for believing in the atoning blood mentioned in the OT & fully revealed in the NT through the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world through his shed blood. It is precious as the Apostle Peter wrote:

I Pet 1:14-20 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called U is holy, U also be holy in all your conduct, 16since it is written, “U shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17And if U call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18knowing that U were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a LAMB without blemish or spot. 20He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of U 21who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead & gave Him glory, so that your faith & hope are in God.

Satan, that old Serpent of old, our adversary & enemy, HATES the blood of Christ & hates Scripture & will seek to directly deny it as he did in the Garden of Eden ['U shall surely not die' vs God--'U shall surely die'] or indirectly question it as authentic as he also did in the Garden of Eden & with Jesus ['did God {actually} say?' and 'IF U R the Son of God'] or many other distortive ways or substitutions or deletions to Scripture, such at the Urantia Book or the Book of Mormon or the Quran, or Marcion's or Thomas Jefferson's abbreviated Bibles, etc.

Several years ago a number of us soundly refuted the Urantians when they first came on here & exposed the history & truth concerning this false Scriptural book & its blatant contradictions to the Word of God, the true God-breathed Scriptures, especially the Biblical truth concerning atonement through shed blood, the PRECIOUS BLOOD of the Lord Jesus Christ as cited above.

The person you referred to previously has made a mantra & diatribe of vociferously denigrating the Scriptures & the atoning blood of Christ, proclaiming lies concerning the Person & character of the living God. Scripture addresses people like this:

Paul's advise to Titus, a disciple of his & spiritual leader/laborer for the believers on Crete--

Titus 3:6-11 This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life. 8This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent & profitable for the people. But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments & quarrels about the Law, because these things are pointless & worthless. 10Reject a heretic {divisive man} after a first & second warning, 11knowing that such a man is corrupt & sinful; HE IS SELF-CONDEMNED.

Paul's advise to Timothy, another disciple of his & a leader/laborer at the church at Ephesus:

2 Timothy 3:10-17 U, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance, 11my persecutions & the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium & Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted--while evil men & imposters will go FROM BAD TO WORSE, DECEIVED & BEING DECEIVED. 14BUT AS FOR U, continue in the things U have learned & firmly believed, since U know from whom U learned them. From infancy U have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make U wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed & is useful for instruction, for reproof, for correction & for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be completely adequate, fully equipped for every good work.

The Apostle John's advise to the church fellowship he wrote to:

2 John 1:4-10 I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. 5And now I ask U, dear lady—not as though I were writing U a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as U have heard from the beginning, so that U should walk in it. 7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver & the antichrist. 8Watch yourselves, so that U may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. 9Everyone who goes on ahead & does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father & the Son. 10If anyone comes to U & does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.

The Apostle John's advise to Gaius, apparently a disciple & a leader in the church fellowship that John addresses:

3 John 1:4, 9-11 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth...I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, DOES NOT ACCEPT WHAT WE SAY. 10For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words & not satisfied with this, he himself DOES NOT RECEIVE the brethren, either & he forbids those who desire to do so & puts them out of the church. 11Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. 12Demetrius has received a GOOD TESTIMONY FROM EVERYONE & from the truth itself & we add our testimony & U know that our testimony is true.

But KB, if God were not just, God would be corrupt.

Jesus is not the wimpy pushover you think He is, KB. Jesus sends thousands of people to Hell every day without batting an eye.

What God has, KB,is justice, and a sense of justice. From the merits gained by Jesus' suffering and death God's justice is satisfied.

Sin is more horrible than you think.
