Delusion ALERT! Emotionalism never makes up for solid Biblical teaching.

In my early twenties, I discerned a call to enter into full-time ministry and became a Foursquare pastor.

This fella either flunked out on discernment or it wasn't God Who led him to the Catholic church...

But he already had the basics down...He knew he was counting on his own righteousness to get to heaven instead of Jesus'...

Foursquare was Aimee Semple McPherson’s church, wasn’t it?

I left Catholicism behind me almost 40 years ago and I’m never going back. Not ever.

Based on the Solo Scriptura approach by many non Catholic denominations, the average person reads/hears 2 verses from scripture per week.

Compare that the 1 Catholic Mass each weekday contains 2 verses and Sunday’s Mass has 3 it makes the parishioner reading/hearing 15 verses and instruction.

I’m only going by the facts. Whether any of it all sinks in or has an effect is not part of the equation, just that most non Catholics do not know that or never attended a Catholic Mass.

It is amazing the amount of non Catholics who get their education from those fallen away Catholics who never contributed to the Church but only say, “I never got anything from the Church.” All take and no give.

ÃŒ can’t say that I’m surprised to see a Foursquarer try Catholicism next; Pentecostals have a long tradition of looking for the next new thing under the sun when their latest preoccupation loses its fascination.

As for Catholicism itself, I myself was one until they started taking up collections to build mosques.

Phil 3:7-12
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
8 Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith;
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Amen.
