On the Road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-20)

I too, was a wicked unbelieving man who persecuted the people of God. Born a Levitical Jew from my mother’s side (last name Cohen), and a southern Baptist with Irish descent on my father’s side (last name Lowry) and grew up an atheist my entire life - I never believed. I did whatever I wanted to do; drunken parties, fights, orgies, mocked people less fortunate than myself, marked my skin with tattoos of snakes, skulls, and bullets. I manipulated others; I loved firefights and explosions, pursued vanity and possessions, hated my fellow neighbor, lied, and I was disrespectful to my parents. I even killed people. When I persecuted the church, it was more personal because I did it to my own spouse.

I mocked my wife for her faith. I also insulted the Priests and accused them all of pedophilia and wrongdoing, even going as far as to oppose the infant baptism of my youngest son. I had no intention of changing my ways, or exposing and confessing my secrets to those around me whom I harmed. Until the dead of the night in the year 2020 at the age of 35, in the same year the star of Bethlehem re-appeared for the third time on 21 December 2020 since Christ’s birth, the spirit of the Lord came for me and converted me. I was at my desk by myself doing some work on a computer and suddenly goosebumps came across my arms, back, neck and shoulders and I began trembling. I never felt anything like it before. I began weeping violently and broke down crying. Almost as if something wrapped a mantle around me, something I never felt before - it was undeniable. From then on, I knew God existed, because I literally felt Him there with me. I did not see Him or hear His voice, but I knew He was there. I honor the truth and I was wrong my entire life. In that exact instance, I realized this. Although I was born seven days from my expected due date of 17 March 1985 in the flesh and sin, I was reborn in Baptism in the spirit the night before Easter in the year of our Lord 2022.

Did He make me change? No. He showed me the Spirit of Grace which is the truth and His mercy. Since I value the truth, I accepted it. I was wrong and He was right. I died that night and was reborn as a new man. Now I live for the Lord. I took the name of Paul in baptism and confirmation because of my conversion. No man converted me; the Lord did. I went to sleep the night prior and woke up the same person with no intention of changing, nor did I have any viable reason to change. I was accountable to no one, and I believed in nothing. Then, when confronted with the truth, I had to change. Why? Because I value the truth. The truth has intrinsic value and is above all of us. It is objective and incorruptible. It is my hope for the entire world that everyone comes to the truth before the day of fire, so everyone is saved. If the Lord can change me, the worst of sinners, He can change all of you as well!

I wrote a letter to God listing everything I had ever done wrong. I repented and asked for forgiveness. This is a start, but more is required. From then on, I had to tell my wife all the things I had been hiding from her regardless of how vile it was; regardless of how much it was going to hurt. I was ready to lose my house and my life for the Lord because He is the Truth, and the Truth will set me free. I must confess to you, the reader, and the entire world to honor Him, for His Namesake.

Once I did this thing and confessed my lies and sins to both God and mankind, despite what may come of me, an amazing thing happened. The yoke of the devil fell off upon my neck. From then on, he could no longer jerk me by the chain and force me to go wherever he wanted me to go and do. I was truly free like what the Lord had said from His gospel.

Now with that said, I knew I had to be baptized. Where do I go? There are thousands, if not millions of denominations out there. Simple, after reading all of scripture and studying it thoroughly, the answer became very clear to me. I must present myself to the steps of the Apostles Church, the One that has been given authority by Christ himself - the Roman Catholic Church. I followed the footsteps of the Apostles and the Levitical Priesthood, to which my ancestors are from and to which the Priesthood passed on from John the Baptist (also a Levite whose father administered sacrifice in the temple) when he baptized our Lord Jesus Christ in the river Jordan. Coming to this truth after much prayer, I realized where the fullness of worship resided, the very Church I persecuted throughout my adult years - the one from the beginning. Now, I practice the sacraments daily and am in truth. In fact, the tabernacle in Rome, and wherever the word of God is proclaimed and His body rests upon the altar is where the temple is, for it replaced the one in Judea.

One cannot be in truth if he or she does not do what the Lord commands us to do. In summary, the Lord said, "you have no life in you unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood of the new covenant."

The sacraments are there to save us and keep us awake and ready; presentable for the Lord when He returns until all is accomplished. The sacraments of His Church will carry you, strengthen you, and sustain you from a lifetime of sinful influences and demonic temptations until it is your time to return to your true Father in Heaven. Do not be tricked by the slick comments of the world and self-ambitious preachers who want to teach you all kinds of wrong things. The Lord told us plainly what to do. So, let’s do it, and our joy will be complete.

On the Road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-20) PART TWO

So, you as a born Levitical Jew who was an atheist was converted by the Lord Himself, but why did you start going to the synagogues to worship and not the Church?
​
All I knew at the time of my conversion was that the Lord was real. What seemed good at the moment, was to stick with what I knew. Did I realize it was Christ Himself who converted me at the moment? No, I just knew G-d (whoever that was) did it. Now, I was raised as a Jew and actually went to Hebrew school for a time as a young child, although nothing from it stuck with me. So, I went to synagogue as an adult after my conversion in order to follow the spiritual path of my ancestors, the Jews. Even during this time, I considered inquiring into Yeshivas in order to receive rabbinical training and study. I even listened to speeches from the Rabbis in New York City and elsewhere in my discernment process as I continued studying the bible on my own time and leisure. Somewhat committed to this but still discerning, I even did Torah study and Jewish prayer from the Siddur with my ultra orthodox uncle over the telephone during this time. However, the Lord who is the G-d of EVERYONE had other plans for me, and by His mighty and Divine wisdom, showed this to me in a dream one night:

I walked into a Yeshiva and was inquiring about G-d. I wanted to know more about Him. I saw Yeshiva students studying Torah in an open area in the center of the building with a backdrop of a library of many vast books. When I met with the headmaster, I went into his office to speak with him about this endeavor. He told me many things I cannot recall at the time. Seeing that I was interested, he opened up the door of his office to invite me to observe some of his students deep in Torah study in the open area I first came across. When I went up to the door and looked out into the study hall, I witnessed his students floating in the air and making sounds of ecstasy and words that I could not understand. At that moment, I thought to myself that these people must know G-d, seeing as how they are in ecstasy and floating in the air by some other power. When I came to this conclusion, I was going to make my decision in favor of this path, but when I turned around suddenly, I noticed the headmaster pulling twin ropes with both of his arms behind my back on some type of a pulley system which fed upwards to where the wall and ceiling met. When I looked back out into the study hall, I could now see the Yeshiva students still uplifted in the air, but with visible ropes around their waistlines suspending them in the air, even though they did not realize it.

Then I woke up.

So, from there, I knew there was something wrong. What was wrong? Simple, only this piece of scripture comes to mind:

1 John 2:23

No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
I accepted the Son of the Father by faith while down upon my knees in prayer a time after my conversion. I believe it was Him who converted me, even though I did not recognize it at first because of my hardened heart. Even as an atheist coming to the truth of G-d, there are still many pitfalls and snares; lineage and spiritual pride, ignorance (lack of study), and of course the acceptance of false teachers with no authority who try to lead you astray down wrong paths. Before I entered the Apostolic Church, I was very much against it because of what I heard other people say about it. I was also against Mother Mary. Furthermore, I didn’t believe Jesus was also G-d at that time, but simply just His Son (not of the same divine substance). I even attempted to smash my wife’s marian statues and accused her of being an idol worshipper.

Even after the Lord has shown and done so much for me to lead me to the truth, I was still resistant and falling into errors and traps laid by others. If it was not for his divine grace, I would have remained in these recent convert errors for a very long time or maybe forever; but He was gracious with me and pushed me to study, almost like I had an itch all over my back that needed to be scratched out constantly.

Through much study and prayer by way of the Holy Spirit, all fingers pointed to the Roman Catholic Church which is the fullness of worship through its apostolic succession and Seat of Peter. This truth became undeniable. For when you follow the Levitical Priesthood and its successors through Christ who called Apostles, who called Bishops, and who called Priests by laying on of the hands, you shall find the authority. Now, where there is authority there is power! The gold standard of worship; for I will not settle for silver, bronze, or copper and neither should you!

James Martinism will be a future condemned heresy someday

Sodomy and unnatural cardinal relations outside marriage between a man and a woman has always been sinful

If you don’t believe what Catholics believe then you shouldn’t falsely promote yourself as something you aren’t

Your modernism under my boot

@christasyd Lol - no such thing as an "LGBTQ Catholic."

Just a Catholic who fell into a state of mortal sin and unbelief.

Homosexuality is opposed to the Church and the law of God.

Saint Thomas Aquinas' THE GOODNESS OF GOD

Ever feel an undeniable pull toward something better, higher, or more perfect? That’s not random. Saint Thomas Aquinas argued that every single creature is hardwired to seek goodness—which means, whether people realize it or not, everyone is ultimately searching for God.

Even without knowing the explicit theology, the human soul naturally gravitates toward order, beauty, and truth. We are all calibrated toward the same final destination.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

Stop looking for ultimate fulfillment in things that only have a temporary, fractional amount of goodness. Money, status, and worldly objects are just the "chilled drink"—they won't satisfy a soul designed for the "ice."

Shift your focus from chasing the gifts to seeking the Giver. When you align your life with the supreme Source, everything else falls perfectly into place.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

🎭 5. The Three Levels of Goodness
Aquinas breaks down how we actually experience and desire goodness in our daily lives into three simple categories:

The Virtuous: Seeking moral excellence purely for its own sake, with zero ulterior motives.

The Useful: Finding tools, solving problems, and completing tasks that meet our daily needs.

The Pleasant: The ultimate rest and satisfaction our souls experience when a wholesome desire is fulfilled (like winding down to enjoy art or culture).

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

St. Thomas Aquinas' GOODNESS IN GENERAL:

🎯 1. To Be is Just the Start: The Relativism Trap
Goodness and being are fundamentally the same reality, but goodness adds a crucial spark: desirability. We don't just want to exist; we naturally crave perfection.

The modern secular world tries to claim that absolute good and evil don't exist, bowing to 19th-century secular philosophies at the altar of relativism. But ignoring the rules doesn't mean you aren't subject to them. True goodness is moving toward a perfect union with God; evil is just a broken, incomplete shape.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

⚙️ 4. The Anatomy of Good: Mode, Species, & Order
True goodness isn't vague or random; it is perfectly structured through three elements:

Mode: The measure or fitness of a thing (like a human heart perfectly measured to pump blood).

Species: The specific, physical form it takes.

Order: The final purpose or destination.

From a honeybee building a perfect honeycomb to the grand timeline of human history, everything has a built-in code and an ultimate Final Cause designed by the Creator.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

@SolaBonhoeffer The apostles and the Roman Catholic Priests are the successors of the Levitical Priesthood, as the Lord your G-d said so in the scriptures!

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

"Thirty Thousand Years" is a spiritual grunge anthem that looks back at Earth’s chaotic history—greed, pandemics, masked up men with diseases, tech moguls, and division—from 30,000 years in the future. A heavy, apocalyptic track about trading human self-destruction for eternal, humble peace at the feet of the divine. Deeply haunting. 🎸🔥 #Grunge #seraphim #christianity

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

@Gojo1471498 There is spiritual Israel and blood Israel. Blood Israel still needs conversion. Just because you are adopted sons and daughters into Judah, doesn't mean God never had a son named Judah.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

But what did Saint Paul actually say about the Jews?

Romans 11:25-26

"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved."

Romans 11:17-21

"If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

You will say then, 'Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.' Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either."

Romans 11:28

"As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs..."

[Ælþemplær @Aelthemplaer]

Jew arrogant about his bloodmagic.

St Paul said you are damned for this behavior.

Repent and believe in Jesus Christ, whom saves through faith, not blood. And indeed has cut off the blood of tribes as a pathway to merit.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

@JClivesforyou @christasyd Absolutely. Replacement theology isn't biblical.

There is spiritual Israel and blood Israel.

Blood Israel still needs conversion.

Just because you are adopted sons and daughters into Judah, doesn't mean God never had a son named Judah.

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

Can you read, last day boy? The Lord Your G-d shall make you get on your knees and acknowledge how much He loved His people from the beginning.

Revelation 3:9

"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you."

ITS LITERALLY IN YOUR FUTURE.

The word of the Lord, thanks be to G-d!

[Paul Patrick @MrLowryScottOP]

@Gojo1471498 He’s in the ground right now, the place where all the enemies of God and Israel go.

Take note last day boy
