Now go, write it before
them
on a tablet, and note it on a scroll, that it may be for time to come,
forever and ever: That
this is a rebellious people, lying
children, children who will not hear the law of the
LORD: Who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not
prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy
deceits. Get out of
the way, turn
aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before
us.”
Isaiah
30: 8-11

Welcome to the Radio New
Jerusalem Catholic Journal! Thank you for joining us in this
endeavor to provide an informative, enlightening and entertaining forum
for the most honest and provocative Catholic writing on the world wide
web -- or any where else.
It is the goal of each of our contributors to
share the deep and profound meaning that Jesus Christ brings to the
lives of those that earnestly turn their hearts to him. And so,
you will find no debate here as to who Jesus is: He is the Savior
of all humankind and the only Son of the One True God. He is the agent
of our salvation and the author of eternal life. It is through
His shed Precious Blood -- and this alone -- that the sins of humanity
are forgiven, and it is through Him -- and Him alone -- that we gain
life eternal. There is no other like Him and there is no greater
blasphemy than to claim that salvation is available through any other
personage or by any other means. In Him is contained all the
teaching of Almighty God, perfected and completed for the benefit of
all and to the exclusion of none. He is the ultimate expression
of God's Love, pure and holy. He is the Master of all Eternal Truth
both exquisitely profound and starkly simple. He is the LORD of
the Old Testament and the Christ of the New. He is with us always
and to express our unbound love to Him is the goal of all human life.
This is
the message and the truth that we hope to convey in the clearest of
terms to you, our reader. This is the message and the
hope that the Truth of Jesus Christ conveys to all the
earth: There is more than meets the eye to human existence.
There is a life of joy and total fulfillment that lies just beyond the
horizon of this vale of tears, and that lone figure that stands at this
horizon and beckons us to follow Him is no other than the Son of God
and Master of the Universe. And the first inkling of this joy
that He brings is found in the very fact that He calls us to come home
with Him. So we move towards Him and follow Him without question
or pause through the baptismal waters of the Jordan and onwards
towards the Promised Land of that glorious New Jerusalem in which he
has prepared a place
for us: A place in which our thirst is slaked by the living water
that flows from the throne of God Himself, and where
our hunger is satisifed by the fruit of the tree of life: A place
in which our earthly wounds are bound and healed forever.
Hallelujah!
It is
this simple and straightforward, yet there are those among us that are
like wolves hidden amongst the sheep. There are those, even
within the bosom of Mother Church herself, who teach a gospel of sin
and degradation and teach this false gospel as if it was the very truth
itself. Some do this because they know no better. Some do this
because they do. The devil himself has come down to the earth,
his time grows short and mighty indeed is his wrath! The spirit
of antichrist has infected our world and spreads throughout our
governments and worldly institutions, and the minions of Satan infest
the churches and call sin goodness and goodness sin. And the
devil's success is assured when he convinces the world that he is not
here, and when he convinces the churchmen to ignore his presence and
speak only of smooth things and deceits.
And so
our purpose here is simple and our promise to you is that we will not
shrink from it. We will tell you the truth of God's plan of
Salvation through His only Son, Jesus Christ, and we will do so with no
punches pulled and no quarter given. We will not hesitate to
point out the evils that plague our world and the reasons why this is
so. And we will not shy from the task at hand until death or
until Jesus rides the clouds in glory and the devil and his minions
have been eternally subdued. It is this that Christ expects and our own
posterity will be served by nothing less.
