I doubt the SBC, or any church, will flourish by searching for "who is to blame" when young people follow a different path of faith, and by disparaging those other pathways.

Thank you. I'm Catholic but have learned so much from the wisdom of Baptist writers and preachers. I sometimes feel I follow both paths. The anger between denominations saddens me.

The anger between denominations saddens me.

I agree. I've said it before and I'll say it again. "These individuals are arguing about how many pebbles are on the beach and failing to see the beautiful sun on the horizon that is God".

I'm a poor excuse for a Catholic and hope that I'm in good grace when I pass and that the Lord will somehow find me to be worthy to enter his kingdom. I find myself in a trap that the harder I try not to sin, the more things I find wrong with my life and how I live. Push one fault down and then pride, hypocrisy, lust, theft, hatred, disrespect to parent, loss of temper with loved ones and on and on and all I can do is try to do better but fail again everyday.

I can't see how all these people find time to worry about whether others are on the right path or doing the right thing, when I'm so busy trying to keep my family and my boat on the right path.

I was born a Catholic, but came to Christ as an adult. I don’t hate Catholics. Most of my relatives are Catholic. Born again Christians on FR are just trying to get Catholics to open their eyes to the truth. Your eternal souls are important to us.
