Lot’s of very good content in this very lengthy post.
As I stated in another post:
I’m ever so grateful that I had a chance to learn my Catholic faith through RCIA. I was baptized into the faith but as with most folks, we fell away and went “dormant.” I entered RCIA (now OCIA) with my step-mom at 15 and really learned my faith. Though I do not debate with folks who just want to argue, I love defending my faith from the hordes of misinformed folks.
As with everything, learning history, appreciating the brilliant writings of those before you, and actually studying the complete Bible with the aid of the aforementioned, makes for a deep relationship with the Lord.
I am very happy for you!
But the devil never sleeps and is very intelligent.
We are truly in the great apostasy before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess 2:3-8). Thus it is very important that you be aware of the many traps set by Satan in this period. Traps very subtle but powerful to take away the true faith while we believe all is OK.
My many other articles might help.
