Easy. Convert to the One, True Faith.

[GeronL]

Belief in Jesus Christ as savior is my faith, that is the one true faith according to the Holy Bible.

Then why have you not done it?

Just throw away the idols, icons, and humanist worship, and read the word of God!

Douay bible:

The Greatest Commandment (Deuteronomy 6:1-19; Matthew 22:34-40)

28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. 29 And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him. 33 And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. 34 And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

John

Jesus Comforts the Disciples

1 LET not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be. 4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

5 Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Does that require me to believe the following:

1. Allah is God (like Pope Francis)
2. Homosexuality is ok with God (like Pope Francis)
3. Pastors cannot be married, even though St. Peter was married
4. Pedophiles should be protected by the church
5. The Roman Catholic Church has replaced Israel

If so, nope! I will stay a Bible believing Christian waiting for the return of Jesus Christ to earth.
